The component () comprises a hollow body () having: an inlet (), which is adapted to be connected to a source of pressurized liquid, for example the water supply network (WS); an outlet (), adapted to deliver said liquid to a washing chamber (WC) defined by said washing tub (WT); a path () for the liquid, which is defined in the hollow body () between the inlet () and the outlet () and includes anti-return means () for said liquid under pressure; a passage (), adapted to receive, at its inlet, vapor coming from the washing chamber (WC) and to discharge the vapor into the environment outside of the washing tub (WT); and a valve device () comprising a plug element (), adapted to at least partially free and obstruct said passage ().

Component for feeding a pressurized liquid to a washing tub of a washing machine, in particular a dishwasher

The device comprises a basin-like container in which partitioning baffles define a plurality of cavities or moulds open at the top, intended to hold a respective quantity of water put into them by means of a solenoid valve, for the formation of corresponding ice cubes. An ejection device includes an electric motor device to which a rotatable shaft is coupled, from which stretch a plurality of ejector elements capable of provoking the expulsion of the ice cubes formed in said cavities or moulds as an effect of the rotation of the shaft. Control devices are associated with the motor device and with the solenoid valve, and comprise two cams operatively driven in rotation by the motor at different speeds. These cams have respective enabling and control profiles engaged operatively by the same feeler that cooperates with an electric switch in such a way as to define, in the operating cycle of the device, at least one time interval of predetermined duration for the opening of said water feed solenoid valve.

Device for producing ice cubes in a refrigerator

The device () comprises a support structure () in which at least a first opening () is defined, a shutter () which is mounted for piloting in that structure () and which is adapted to take up a least a first and a second angular position, in which it closes and opens at least partially the first opening () of the structure (), respectively, and an actuator device () which is capable of bringing about a controlled angular movement of the shutter () relative to the support structure ().
