Abstract: A laundry treating appliance having a housing defining an interior that terminates in an upper edge that defines a door profile. A treating chamber is located within the interior and is mounted to the housing. A dispenser door is pivotally mounted to the housing for pivoting movement between closed and opened positions. At least one dispenser cup is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber and is slidably mounted to the housing for sliding movement between extended and retracted positions. The at least one dispenser cup is operably coupled to the dispenser door such that pivotal movement of the dispenser door between the closed and opened positions effects a corresponding sliding movement of the at least one dispenser cup between the retracted and extended positions while maintaining the dispenser cup in an upright position. The at least one dispenser cup has a portion that is complementary in shape to the door profile and nests within the door profile when the dispenser door is in the opened position and the at least one dispenser cup is in the extended position.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a washing machine including a cabinet defining a housing with internal components of a conventional automated clothes washer, a door mounted to the cabinet to selectively open/close the opening to the cabinet, and a dispenser in the form of a drawer having at least one cup in which doses of treating chemistry can be received. The dispenser includes a door pivotally mounted to the housing for pivoting movement between closed and opened positions. The dispenser drawer is pivotally mounted to the dispenser door and slidably mounted to the housing such that pivotal movement of the dispenser door between the closed and opened position effects a corresponding sliding movement of the at least one dispenser cup between the extended and retracted position.
