  • Patent number: 11723509
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for dispensing a cleaning agent into a dishwasher, having a cover element for closing and releasing at least one opening of a store for storing the cleaning agent and/or an operating agent, at least one actuating element being provided which has an actuation path (W) for opening and/or fixing the cover element so that an accidental opening or unlocking is effectively prevented. According to the disclosure this is achieved in that the actuation path (W) is oriented away from the store and transversely to the opening.

  • Publication number: 20060249547
    Abstract: A less malfunction-prone device is provided for dispensing dishwashing detergent into a dishwasher with a cover element (1) that can be radially pivoted around an eccentrically arranged rotational axis (3) in order to close or release at least one opening of a reservoir (7) for accommodating the dishwashing detergent, wherein the cover element (1) can be adjusted at least in a plane parallel to the opening between a closed position and a released position, and wherein a base element (2) encompasses the reservoir (7). This is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the cover element (1) can essentially be pivoted inside the cross sectional area of the base element (2) parallel to the opening and optionally includes a second cover (4) axially mounted coplanar with said cover element (1).
