A dishwasher including a tub; a door to open and close the tub; and an automatic detergent dispenser including a storage compartment configured so that a plurality of solid detergents are stackable in the storage compartment so as to be loaded in a first direction, and to be dischargeable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, when the tub is closed by the door, a storage compartment cover configured to open and close the storage compartment, and a sealing member configured to form a seal between the storage compartment cover and the storage compartment when the storage compartment is closed by the storage compartment cover, wherein the storage compartment is configured to be open in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction when the storage compartment is opened by the storage compartment cover.

A dishwasher includes: a tub; a door configured to open or close the tub; and an automatic detergent dispenser disposed on the door and configured to discharge a solid detergent toward an inside of the tub. The automatic detergent dispenser includes a storage compartment to allow a plurality of solid detergents to be stacked and loaded therein in a stacking direction, an ejector configured to move one solid detergent among the plurality of solid detergents to an outside of the storage compartment thereby discharging the one solid detergent from the storage compartment, and a holder configured to be movable toward the plurality of solid detergents in a stacking direction of the plurality of solid detergents inside the storage compartment, to support the plurality of solid detergents to be maintained in the stacked state inside the storage compartment.

The present invention relates to a process for washing fabrics in the drum of an automatic washing machine.

A metering device for dispensing shaped cleaning-agent bodies into a washing chamber of a domestic dishwasher, comprising a reservoir, which is designed to hold a filling of the shaped cleaning-agent bodies and has a transfer opening in a region of the bottom of the reservoir, and a transport device for actively transporting the shaped cleaning-agent bodies from the transfer opening of the reservoir into the washing chamber. In addition, the metering device comprises a lifting device for raising the bottom of the reservoir at least in parts, wherein a discharge slant toward the transfer opening is produced at least in parts or the downgrade of an existing discharge slant is increased at least in parts by the raising of the bottom.

The invention relates to a dosing device for dosing a detergent tablet provided by a storage cartridge to which the dosing device is attachable, the dosing device comprising a scoop and a plug, wherein the scoop is configured to pick up a detergent tablet from the storage cartridge, lift the detergent tablet to an opening in the scoop and transport the detergent tablet to a receiving chamber formed in the plug when scoop is turned in a first turning direction about a rotational axis that crosses a gravitational vector, and the plug is configured to release the detergent tablet from the receiving chamber.

A dishwasher detergent dispenser having a set of restraints configured to retain a detergent tablet in a cavity of the detergent dispenser, and a water outlet configured to release water to a top section of the detergent dispenser.

A dosing system for installation in a domestic dishwasher is disclosed. The dosing system in some embodiments permits the automated delivery of a defined dose of a detergent in powder form into a dishwashing chamber of the dishwasher. It comprises for this purpose a supply chamber for receiving a supply of the detergent and an extracting mechanism for extracting a dose of the detergent from the supply and for delivering the extracted dose into a fall channel. In order to assist with expelling an extracted dose of the detergent powder from the fall channel or/and to accelerate drying of the fall channel, the dosing system in some embodiments includes a fan for generating a blowing air stream which flows through at least parts of the fall channel.

A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher interior, a spraying facility rotatably mounted in the dishwasher interior for spraying wash liquor and/or fresh water upon an item to be washed received in the dishwasher interior, a placement region for placement of a cleaning agent, and a blocking facility configured to block a rotational movement of the spraying facility in such a manner that the spraying facility during blocking of the spraying facility selectively sprays the placement region with wash liquor and/or fresh water in order to dissolve the cleaning agent.

A method and apparatus for obtaining a solution from a solid product in contact with a liquid is provided. A solid product is housed within a dispenser. A liquid is introduced into contact with the solid product. The solution formed between the solid product and the liquid is collected, and a makeup liquid can be added thereto to further dilute or control the concentration of the formed solution. The amount of makeup liquid added to the solution can be controlled based on the temperature of the liquid to provide an automatic, continuously variable amount of liquid added to the solution. In addition, a method of providing a pressure independent control of the makeup liquid is also provided.
