  • Patent number: 7356459
    Abstract: A household appliance with a simple to use selected operating language includes activating the programs by taking into account the special characteristics of specific languages. The household appliance includes a display unit that displays all information in a simple language. The selected language, the selected programming of the household appliance, and the selected additional functions in addition to error messages are shown on the display unit so that operational mistakes are basically prevented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2008
    Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbH
    Inventors: Heinz-Jürgen Bergemann, Gunnar Pautzke, Matthias Salein, Martin Schwab
  • Patent number: 7059003
    Abstract: The invention allows a user of a program-controlled household appliance to obtain comprehensive information concerning different working process parameters by having the appliance include a display device for acoustic signals or optical characters and a memory area of the program control device, which is configured for saving set program parameters and measurement and operational values of the actuators and sensors participating in the program that is running. For such a purpose, the display device contains a display element (field), which is activated upon completion of the working process and contains the comment “Log”, indicating the option of issuing information relating to measurement and operational values that have been saved prior to and/or during the last completed working process.

  • Patent number: 6386004
    Abstract: In a laundry drum, a liquid diverter includes a driver having a driver interior and a run-off ramp therein. The driver interior receives liquid scooped and lifted by the drum during rotation thereof. The driver discharges scooped liquid in its lifted position into the drum interior. The run-off ramp is oriented horizontally or has a descending gradient when the drum rotation axis is orientated in a direction deviating from horizontal and when the drum is in a rotary position in which the driver is in its highest position, and thereby, permits, in all of the drum's rotation directions, a flow of scooped liquid on the run-off ramp in a direction of a rising part of the rotation axis when in the driver's lifted position. The liquid is conducted into only part of the drivers in a case of low liquid level as a result of the inclination.
