  • Patent number: 7842138
    Abstract: An opposition device for locking and/or braking a swing door of a dishwashing machine, in which the door is movable about a horizontal rotation axis and along a predetermined trajectory, between at least two opposite, respectively open and closed, limit positions. A contoured leaf spring is fitted integrally to a casing of the machine. The contoured leaf spring has a first and second flexible arm projecting forward. A substantially rigid arm is fixed for movement with the door, and projects inward from the door and towards the contoured leaf spring. The first and second flexible arm of the contoured leaf spring, and the rigid arm of the door cooperate, in use, in sliding contact with one another along at least part of the predetermined trajectory of the door, to oppose rotation of the door at least close to the two opposite limit positions.

  • Publication number: 20090101185
    Abstract: A spray arm assembly for a dishwashing machine includes at least one arm rotationally mounted about an axis, the arm including an internal cavity for receiving a pressurized service fluid and being provided with a plurality of spraying nozzles for spraying service fluid from said arm in the form of spray jets. The arm is shaped so that its opposite ends radially extend from the rotation axis in a manner diametrically opposite to each other about the rotation axis. The spraying nozzles are numbered, sized and positioned such that a total flow rate of service fluid delivered in use by the spraying nozzles at each concentric nozzle location circumference traced about the rotation axis of the arm during a complete rotation of the arm increases as a function of the radius of said nozzle location circumference.

  • Publication number: 20080283101
    Abstract: A double delivery pump for an electric appliance includes a pump body housing a centrifugal impeller and provided with a first delivery pipe and with a second delivery pipe having passage sections which are different from one another and located at diametrically opposite positions with respect to a rotation axis of the impeller. First and second fastening portions are provided for selective mounting of the pump to a casing of the electric appliance, either with the first delivery pipe arranged above and with the second delivery pipe arranged below the axis of rotation of the impeller or vice versa, so that the pump depending on which fastening means are selected, may be used either on a professional dishwasher or glasswasher.
