Abstract: A dispenser for washing machines, in particular clothes washing machines or combined clothes washing and drying machines. The dispenser includes first and second rigid conduits (12, 13) extending orthogonally with respect to each other. The first is connected with a sealed enclosure (8) containing the liquid detergents and/or rinse aids. The second is connected with a quick-fitting coupler (25) that is adapted to be connected and disconnected with respect to a further rigid conduit (28) communicating with the wash tub of the washing machine through a positive-displacement pump. The second rigid conduit (13) is associated with a check valve (32) that is biased by a spring (42) to move from a first to a second position, whereby a communication is therefore established or discontinued between the enclosure (8) and its outer space when the second rigid conduit (13) is engaged and disengaged, respectively, with respect to said quick-fitting coupling means (25).

Abstract: A water distributing device for a household washing machine has a cold water and hot water supply system. A water distributing element is provided to supply hot and cold water together, or cold water only, to a chemical additive dispenser for the purpose of flushing various chemical additives from the dispenser into the tub of the washing machine during a washing cycle. The water distributing element is designed to have separate flow channels therein for cold and hot water while being able to supply both the cold and hot water to the same water distributing pipe leading to the chemical additive dispenser.
