  • Publication number: 20200308752
    Abstract: A washing drum configured to be rotatably mounted in a laundry washing machine wherein laundry to be washed may be placed. The washing drum has a tubular body wall configured to rotate around a rotational axis, and the tubular body wall comprises at least one bulge protruding from the tubular body wall towards the rotational axis. The contour of the bulge at the tubular body wall has the shape of a squircle, wherein the reference axis of the squircle-shaped contour is inclined with respect to the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 10358763
    Abstract: A laundry washing machine (1) has a washing tub (3) external to a rotatable washing drum (4) adapted to receive laundry. The machine further has a level sensing device (19) having a pressure sensor (50) suitable for determining the liquid level inside the washing tub (3). The level sensing device (19) further has an air chamber (51; 151) connectable to a detection outlet (60) associated to the washing tub (3). A liquid flowing path (61) is defined between the detection outlet (60) and the air chamber (51; 151), wherein the liquid may flow between the washing tub (3) and the air chamber (51;151). In a mounted configuration, the air chamber (51; 151) is associated to the washing tub (3) and the laundry washing machine (1) is positioned in its working position, and the path (61) is shaped such that at least a section of the path, in a plane perpendicular to a flowing direction (V) of the liquid, has the upper part comprising a rectilinear portion (64a; 64b; 164a).

  • Publication number: 20170137984
    Abstract: A washing group (1) for laundry washing machines has a hollow washing tub (2), a revolving drum (3) fitted in axially rotatable manner inside the washing tub (2), and a motor assembly (4) which is rigidly attached outside the washing tub (2) and is capable of driving into rotation the revolving drum (3) inside the washing tub (2). The motor assembly (4) has a drive motor (8) and a supporting structure (10) provided with a number of connecting arms (15) each of which juts out from the drive motor (8) towards the peripheral wall (9) of washing tub (2), and has the distal end fitted onto a corresponding coupling pin (14) which cantilevered extends from the washing tub (2). Each coupling pin (14) is substantially ogival-shaped and the distal end of each connecting arm (15) having a substantially ogival-shaped, hollow seat (16) which is substantially complementary in shape to that of the corresponding coupling pin (14) so as to be axially engaged by said coupling pin (14).
