  • Patent number: 9320414
    Abstract: A water-conducting household appliance includes a wash compartment and a sound-deadening layered mat which is applied externally to at least one wall of the wash compartment at a region which has a higher level of operational vibration than another region of the wall. The first layered mat is in particular a bitumen mat.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8888930
    Abstract: A dishwashing machine, in particular a household dishwashing machine, includes a box-shaped washing tank for receiving items to be washed, and a base carrier for support of the washing tank. The base carrier has a technology space for accommodating electrical components of the dishwashing machine. The technology space is arranged between a floor formed on the base carrier and the washing tank and is at least partially surrounded by a sound proofing element designed as a three-dimensional formed component.

  • Patent number: 8882931
    Abstract: A water-conducting household machine, specifically a dishwasher, includes a compartment having a closable compartment opening, and at least one washing device for generating at least one water jet in the compartment. At least one baffle plate is disposed on an inner side of the compartment in at least one area of impact of the water jet and in such a way as to be vibration-free for noise reduction, particularly for noise damping and/or sound insulation.

  • Patent number: 8662246
    Abstract: A domestic appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes at least one component, and at least one noise-deadening and/or sound-insulating coating applied on the component. The noise-deadening and/or sound-insulating coating includes or is made entirely of a reactively cured bituminous mixture. The component can be a wall section for delimiting a rinsing chamber of the dishwasher, or can be a base tray of a rinsing container of the dishwasher.

  • Patent number: 8556025
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a dishwasher having at least one component and at least one bitumen mat provided on the component for noise deadening and/or sound insulation of the component, a usable, flowable and reactively-hardenable bituminous mixture is applied upon the bitumen mat and/or component such as to form at least one adhesive bead. The adhesive bead is partly surrounded by at least one area which is free of the reactively-hardenable bituminous mixture. Before the hardening of the bituminous mixture, the component and the bitumen mat are pressed together and thereby glued to one another.
