Patent number: 11866876Abstract: A method of dispensing laundry treating products using centrifugal force. The method comprises retaining by gravity laundry products in a first reservoir. Temporarily moving the laundry treating products by centrifugal force from the first reservoir to a first centrifugal chamber. Moving the products through an orifice in the first centrifugal chamber to a second centrifugal chamber by centrifugal force acting on the products to move the products through the orifice. Allowing the products to move from the second centrifugal chamber to a second reservoir with gravity.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Whirlpool S.A.Inventors: Bruno T.

Patent number: 11313067Abstract: A centrifugal dispenser comprises a first container that has a first wall with a lower end defining at least a portion of a first reservoir. The first wall also has an upper end extending above the lower end. A first centrifugal chamber that is at least partially defined by the upper end of the first wall is fluidly coupled to the first reservoir and located centrifugally downstream of the first reservoir. A second centrifugal chamber is located centrifugally downstream of the first centrifugal chamber. A second container defining a second reservoir is fluidly coupled with the second centrifugal chamber and an orifice is located in the upper end of the first wall and has a valve that fluidly couples the first and second centrifugal chambers.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Whirlpool S.A.Inventors: Bruno T.
