Definitions

  • the invention relates to a top loaded laundry washing machine having a drum for containing the laundry mounted in a tub for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis and in alternate directions during washing, a loading funnel on the tub, a loading funnel lid hingedly connected to an upper edge of the funnel, and being adapted to operate switch means, when closed, to allow the drum to be rotated, a drum door consisting of two door sections located in a cylindrical drum surface, each section opening outwardly of the drum by rotation about a hinge under spring force.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution for the disadvantages described by the safety devices of the top loaded laundry washing machines, appearing in the anterior art, as mentioned above.
  • This invention has for purpose, on the one hand, to forbid the closing of the loading funnel lid when the drum door is stayed opened, and consequently the start of the top loaded laundry washing machine, of which the drum, with a horizontal axis, is provided with a door consisting of two door sections, having the same length, opening on exterior under the influence of springs, and a detergent box fastened under the loading funnel lid, and, on the other hand, to prevent the drum to be rotated when the door is closed, in using, for that, very simple mechanical means allowing to detect directly the position of the drum door sections before the complete closing of the loading funnel lid in view to start the said washing machine, this without electronic system control.
  • the advantages obtained through this invention consist primarily in that it protects the users against the destruction of their washing machines when the drum door is not correctly closed, without risk of failure of an electronic system control, this with the elimination of the obligation of the length of one of the drum door sections able to interfere with its filling and the closing of the said door.
  • the figures represent the funnel 10 of a top loaded laundry washing machine, provided with a lid 20 supplied with a detergent box 30 having two hooks 31 with nose 32 intended to be supported against the outer edge 41 of a drum door section 40 of the drum door (not represented) in case the drum door is stayed opened, and to fit freely the nose 32 of the hooks 31 under the inferior edge 11 of the funnel 10 when the drum door has been previously closed.
  • figures 1 and 2 corresponding to a no starting of the washing cycle following on from a defect in the closing of the drum door, one notices that the nose 32 of the hooks 31 placed in the rear of the detergent box 30, are be supported against the outer edge 41 of one of the drum door sections 40, in view to jam this one against the inferior edge 11 of the funnel 10 in forbidding the closing of the lid 20, and consequently the activation of the starting switch of the washing machine.
  • Figure 4 shows the position and the shape of the hooks 31 placed in the rear of the detergent box 30, and consequently in the rear of the lid 20, so that the nose 32 of the said hooks 31 in closing position be situated a little underneath of the inferior edge 11 of the funnel 10 against which the concerned drum door section 40 leans under its spring force in opening position when the said drum door is stayed opened ; the length of the nose 32 of the hooks 31 being determined in order a sufficient opening angle be let to the lid 20 for oppose it to its closing in case of missing or failing of the drum door ; this, in bearing a sufficient pressure by the hooks 31 with their noses 32 on the edge 41 of the door section 40 concerned to oppose at its driving by the drum, in case a forced closing of the lid 20 be although obtained.
  • the using of the device according to the invention is not limited at the example described above, concerning a top loaded laundry machine, when the detergent products are situated in a box fastened on the under surface of the lid, because, in the case the detergent box is incorporated in the funnel, the hooks would be fixed directly on the under surface of the lid, in order they have the same part relating to the drum door, stayed opened inadvertently and having its door sections stayed leaned against the funnel during a attempt to closing of the lid.
