  • Patent number: 12239273
    Abstract: A cover assembly for mounting in a domestic dishwasher, for example, is proposed. The cover assembly includes a pivoting cover which is mounted on a support component and is to close an opening, wherein the pivoting cover has a cover part and a closure part which is movable relative to the cover part. The cover part has sealing faces which, on closing of the pivoting cover, come into sealing contact with sealing counter-faces encircling the opening. There are formed on the closure part engagement formations which, in a closed pivot position of the pivoting cover, can be brought into and out of holding-closed engagement with engagement counter-formations by relative movement between the closure part and the support component. The cover part is mounted on the closure part and is supported via the closure part on the support component.

  • Publication number: 20220175212
    Abstract: A domestic dishwashing machine includes a dishwashing container, a door, pivotably mounted on the dishwashing container, for closing a dishwashing chamber formed in the dishwashing container, and a dosing system, arranged at the door, for a solid detergent, for example, in tablet form. The dosing system may include an annular magazine having a rotatably arranged rotor which delimits a plurality of radially outwardly open storage compartments, distributed in the circumferential direction, which are each to receive a detergent tablet. In some embodiments, a chute is arranged beneath the rotor, and the chute allows a detergent tablet which has fallen into the chute to fall freely to an outlet opening at which the detergent tablet can pass into the dishwashing chamber. By rotation of the rotor, a storage compartment filled with a detergent tablet can move into a position radially opposite a dosing opening, at which the chute begins.
