Patent number: 10898052Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a first spray arm having a first spraying circle, a second spray arm having a second spraying circle which overlaps with the first spraying circle, and a synchronization facility configured to adapt a rotational speed of the first spray arm to a rotational speed of the second spray arm, or vice versa. The synchronization facility includes a first magnetic field allocated to the first spray arm and a second magnetic field allocated to the second spray arm, with the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field having a same polarization, so that the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field repel one another during operation of the household dishwasher to thereby prevent contact between the first spray arm and the second spray arm during a rotational movement of the first spray arm and the second spray arm.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Jürgen Hellwig, Anton Oblinger, Gerhard Fetzer

Patent number: 8220760Abstract: A household appliance, particularly a dishwasher or washing machine, having a height-adjusting device for an appliance pedestal. The height-adjusting device may include at least one drive gear engaged with a transmission drive converting the rotary motion of the drive gear into a lift motion of the appliance pedestal. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the drive gear includes a torque-limiting element operable to enable a deflecting motion of the drive gear from an operating position when a limit torque is exceeded, and which releases the engagement between the drive gear and the transmission drive.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Gerhard Fetzer, Manfred Seeβle
