Abstract: An electrovalve unit for filling a washing machine with a washing liquid has a first inlet for a washing liquid coming from a water supply, and a second inlet for heated liquid, at least one outlet for the liquid coming from the first and second inlet, apparatus for directing the washing liquid towards the outlet, and a device for measuring the temperature of the washing liquid passing through the outlet.

Abstract: A device for water supply distribution to a plurality of consumption elements within a washing machine, e.g., a laundry washing machine, has a first shell, a motor, apparatus for connection to the electronic control board of the washing machine, detection apparatus for detecting the different wash phases, a second shell and a distributor. The distributor is positioned coaxially to said motor.

Abstract: Drawer for detergents for washing machine or the like, with the body of the valve for distribution of water to the various compartments built into the same drawer in any one of its components: lid of the drawer, spray compartment or back of drawer; the solution is characterised in that the valve body is formed by a mould together with one of the above mentioned components, thus entailing elimination of the fittings, seals and same valve body as an independent component.

Abstract: A water softener for reducing water hardness, suitable for use in a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, has a container within which ionic exchange resins are housed, which reduce the degree of hardness of water contacting them, and apparatus for regenerating the softening efficiency of the resins. Mounted in the container are a sensor for checking a physical characteristic of the resins and, in response thereto, detecting the degree of exhaustion of said resins.

Abstract: A device for reducing water hardness suitable for the use in a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, comprising a container within which ionic exchange resins are housed, which provide to reduce the hardness degree of the water lapping them and means for regenerating the softening efficiency of said resins, wherein at least a portion of said resins are contained in a delimited space, a wall of said space comprises a movable or elastic element, means are provided for detecting the movement of said movable or elastic element.

Abstract: Device for housing washing agents which can be used in a washing machine, preferably in a machine for washing laundry, comprising a body of the device having one or more vessels for housing washing agents and one or more conduits for conveying respective flows of water to each of said vessels for housing the washing agents to remove the agent contained therein and the subsequent feeding of the same to the washing tub of the machine. The body of the device comprises at least one portion defining directly at least part of said conveying conduits or a portion for access to said conduits. Said portion being attached in a removable or openable manner to the remaining part of the body of the device.

Abstract: A valve for use in machines for washing, such as washing machines for laundry, dishwashers and the like, includes a hollow valve body wherein a current of water flows, entering the valve body via at least one inlet of the valve, and at least one plug element for allowing and, respectively, preventing the outflow of water from a corresponding outlet of the valve. The valve is connected to at least one temperature sensor device having a first and a second working state corresponding to an open and closed condition of an electrical connection and in that the sensor device has a preset trigger temperature which, when reached, causes the change from a state of closure to one of opening of the connection or vice versa. Methods of treating the water in these machines for washing also can be implemented with the valve and machines for washing using this valve.

Abstract: A functional ring having the particular characteristic of comprising, in various forms of decorative elements indicative of cardinal orientation or temperature, as well as differently formed lens elements in order to confer a true and proper utility to an object. Specifically, a ring is disclosed including a solid transparent sphere for magnification of objects seen therethrough.
