A dishwasher having a cabinet and wash chambers in the form of drawers which slide in and out of the cabinet. Rigid and flexible closures are disclosed for sealing off the wash chambers when retracted into the cabinet. A detergent dispenser for the dishwasher is provided in one wall of a wash chamber in the wash water discharge path into the wash chamber so that detergent powder is flushed out of the dispenser and mixed with the wash water prior to the latter being discharged into the wash chamber. A wash programme for a dual wash chamber dishwasher is also disclosed which minimises total water consumption by transferring water from one chamber to the other.

A vent for a dishwasher provides a valve with dual actuation, either to be electrically actuated according to a cycle of the dishwasher so as to close during periods of high noise generation, typically the wash cycle, and opened during the dry cycle, or to be actuated independently of the cycle under pressure differences such as may be caused by interruption of the dishwasher cycle and opening and closing of the dishwasher door such as may cause a pressure surge as the introduced cool air is rapidly heated in the interior of the dishwasher.

A water inlet assembly for mounting adjacent an opening provided in a tub of an automatic dishwasher wherein the tub defines a cavity having a volume for washing dishes. The water inlet assembly includes a housing forming a venting chamber and having an outlet opening mounted in sealed relationship about the opening provided in the tub. The venting chamber has a vent opening which may be located above the outlet opening. The housing further includes an inlet nozzle for receiving wash liquid and a conduit for guiding liquid from the inlet nozzle to the venting chamber from which wash liquid can flow through the outlet opening into the tub. A water trap is formed into the housing and is located along the conduit. The conduit has a siphon opening located upstream of the water trap. A pressure actuated valve is positioned to block the passage of air from the tub cavity through the venting chamber and out the vent opening in a closed state and to allow the passage of air from the tub cavity through the venting chamber and out the vent opening in an open state. The pressure actuated valve moves from the closed to the open state in response to an excess of air pressure in the tub cavity.

An indicator for use with a dishwasher for indicating whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty includes a housing having a substantially translucent front wall. A graphic image is formed on the inside surface of the front wall so as to form printed areas and unprinted areas. Lying directly behind the front wall within the housing is a face plate having two different graphics formed thereon. The face plate is slideable relative to the front wall. In one position, graphics on the face plate show through the front wall to indicate that the dishes are dirty. In a second position, the graphics on the face plate show through the front wall to indicate that the dishes are clean. The face plate is releasably held in the dirty position against the force of a spring. Upon sensing an elevated temperature indicating that the dishwasher had been run, the releasable holding mechanism releases allowing the spring to move the face plate into the clean position.

Dishwashing machine comprising an outer casing (1) and a loading door (6) which is adapted to only close by means of sliding motions in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the open front face of the washing vessel of the machine. Within the thickness of the door (6) there are accommodated functional and hydraulic component parts (30, 15, 20, 25, 35, 5, 22, 36). Of some of these component parts, the portions requiring to be reached by the user are arranged along the upper edge (10) of the door (6).

The frontloading dishwasher has a dishwashing compartment and a door mounted on the machine body such that it can be pivoted about a horizontal axis for closing a loading opening of the dishwashing compartment. The bottom border of an inner wall of the door, forming a door lip, engages behind a compartment skirt that rises from the dishwashing-compartment base. A seal is arranged between the door and the dishwashing compartment. The seal includes a sealing strip that extends across the entire door width. Satisfactory sealing of the dishwasher is ensured over a long period of use, dirt deposits in the sealing region are avoided, and only a low level of force for moving the door is required in that a guide and securing device for the seal is provided, for securing the seal in the rest position and for guiding the seal during movement of the door.
摘要:
A double, front loading, dishwasher comprising two side-by-side dishwashing cabinets each provided with a washing arm and either a common pump and motor or an individual pump and motor is described. Preferably, the dishwasher is designed to fit into an existing kitchen cabinet and even more preferably into an eye level kitchen cabinet so that while one cabinet is used to store clean dishes and cutlery the other cabinet is available to load and wash another set of dirty dishes. Storage of a set of clean dishes in the dishwasher saves time as the step of unloading the dishwasher to a separate storage cabinet is eliminated, as the clean dishes may be unloaded directly to the table.
