A system () includes a support structure () associable with a bottom wall (BW) of a washing tub (WT) of a washing machine (WM). The system further includes a container body () having a receptacle () configured for receiving a quantity of washing agent. The container body () has an opening () leading into the receptacle (). The container body () is mountable on the support structure () in the washing tub (WT). The container body () is configured for being reversibly brought by a user into a retracted condition and an extracted condition. In the retracted condition, the container body () is inserted in the support structure (). In the extracted condition, the container body () is removed and separate from the support structure (). The system () includes a closure element () configured for closing the opening ().

Reservoir system for a washing agent, in particular intended for being installed on a washing machine, for example a dishwasher

An assembly includes a transducer and anti-flood device. The transducer receives, as an input, a pressure signal taken by a liquid held in a main container and includes a circuit, for providing, as an output, an electric control signal having a variable parameter representing the pressure signal. The anti-flood device includes a receptacle, a float and a sensor. The receptacle is arranged to receive and hold a part of liquid coming from the secondary container. The float is movably mounted in the receptacle and moves up to a height representing the level reached by the part of liquid. The sensor is configured to detect the height reached by the float and to transmit an electric level-indicating signal representing the height to the circuit. The circuit is designed to apply, to the variable parameter, a correction that is determined as a function of the level-indicating signal according to predetermined criteria.

A control system includes a motor, first and second movable members, which can be rotated by the motor and which are adapted to interact with a first and a second controlled apparatus, respectively, and a transmission mechanism configured for controlling the movable members. The motor is bidirectional and is configured for selectively rotating, through the transmission mechanism, the first and second movable members, respectively, when the motor turns in a first direction and a second direction of rotation, respectively, opposite to each other. The transmission mechanism includes a first and a second unidirectional clutch selectively cooperating with the motor.

System for controlling a plurality of apparatuses of a household appliance

An apparatus () includes an engagement element (), fitted on a household appliance casing for being releasably held by a retaining element () fitted on the door (D). The engagement element () includes a support body (); and a striker (), releasably coupled to the retaining element () and is mobile between a retracted position and an extracted position. When the striker () is coupled to the retaining element () and assumes the retracted position and the extracted position, respectively, the door (D) is in a complete closing condition and in a pre-opening condition, respectively. A stop mechanism () moves from a release condition, to liberate said striker (), to a locking condition, to hold said striker (), in said retracted position; a driver controls movement of the stop mechanism (). The stop mechanism () has a manually controlled safety element () and is moveable to constrain the stop mechanism.

Apparatus for controlling the closing of a door of a household appliance, in particular for a washing machine, such as a dishwasher

A system () includes an engagement element () mounted on a household appliance (W) door (D). A supporting body () is releasably held by a retaining element () mounted on a cabinet (C). A striker () releasably couples to the retaining element () and moves between retracted and extracted positions. When the striker () is retracted the door (D) is fully closed, and when extracted the door is pre-opened relative to the cabinet (C). An actuator () controls a locking mechanism () that tends to switch from an unlocked condition, allowing the striker () to move from the retracted to the extracted position, to a locked condition, holding the striker () in the retracted position. A thrust member () exerts thrust on the door (D), facilitating switching to pre-opened when the striker () couples to the retaining element (), locking the locking mechanism ().
