摘要:
A self-leveling foot for an appliance of the type that includes a base to be seated on a floor; a rod affixed to the base and projecting upwardly therefrom; an elastic element having a lower end seated on the base and a tubular sleeve, slidably mounted and guided around the rod, and having a lower portion seated on the upper end of the elastic element and an upper portion to be mounted under a lower frame portion of the appliance, so as to apply on the base, through the elastic element, a respective portion of the appliance weight. The foot of the present invention may further comprise a dampening means mounted between the parts of rod and tubular sleeve, so as to exert a braking force against the relative axial movement between said parts.

A self-leveling foot for an appliance of the type that comprises: a base (10) to be seated on a floor (P); a rod (15) affixed to the base (10) and projecting upwardly therefrom; an elastic element (20) having a lower end (20a) seated on the base (10); and a tubular sleeve (30), slidably mounted and guided around the rod (15), and having a lower portion (30b) seated on the upper end (20b) of the elastic element (20) and an upper portion (30a) to be mounted under a lower frame portion (1) of the appliance, so as to apply on the base (10), through the elastic element (20), a respective portion of the appliance weight. The foot of the present invention may further comprise a dampening means (50) mounted between the parts of rod (15) and tubular sleeve (30), so as to exert a braking force against the relative axial movement between said parts.
摘要:
A clothes washing machine of the top loading type and which comprises a generally tubular base structure (10) to be inferiorly seated onto the floor (P); a tub (20) to contain a washing liquid and affixed onto the base structure (10); a support frame (30) suspended in the interior of the base structure (10); suspension means (40) to absorb the vibratory and oscillatory motions and that connect the support frame (30) to the base structure (10) in order to maintain the former suspended in the interior of the latter; a motor unit (50) disposed in the interior of the base structure (10) secured to the support frame (30) and carrying a drive shaft (51) extending vertically upwardly to the inside of the tub (20); and a rotative basket (60) disposed in the interior of the tub (20) and which is operatively and selectively associated with the drive shaft (55).
摘要:
The method of the invention encompasses the stages of: rotating the basket in a weighing rotation determined by a microprocessor, of a top-loading machine, already containing the load of clothes to be washed; producing signals for a load sensing device, assembled on a suspension rod of a containment drum that holds the basket, of the maximum and minimum loads to which such suspension rod is subject during each spin of the basket, processing the above-mentioned signals in order to define the average load applied to the suspension rods and with this information, the weight of the load of clothes; and determine, through the microprocessor and as a function of the weight of the load of clothes, the weight of the load of water fed into the containment drum. The method in question also allows control over the various operating functions of the machine, through monitoring the load applied to the above-mentioned suspension rod.
