Abstract: In a method for setting a spin speed of a drum of a household laundry care appliance, which is installed on a base, a gradient of an actual speed of the drum is detected during a spin operation and a determination is made as to whether the speed gradient is rising or falling. Vibrations caused by the household appliance during a spin operation as a function of the base in respect of frequency and/or amplitude are detected and compared with reference values. The spin speed is then changed as a function of the determined speed gradient if parameter values characterizing the vibrations deviate from the reference values.

Abstract: A laundry treatment device includes a housing, a container suspended in the housing in an oscillating manner, and a detecting unit for detecting one of the position and the arrangement of the container in the housing. The detecting unit includes a magnetic field-generator that generates a magnetic field; and a magnetic field detector for detecting a magnetic flux density of the magnet field and for determining a direction of field lines of the magnet field.

Abstract: A method for controlling a spinning cycle of a washing machine, the method includes accelerating a drum up to a first speed at which the laundry items essentially lie firmly against the wall of the drum, detecting a movement of the detergent solution tub in at least one direction for at least one predetermined period during the rotation of the drum at a speed that is equal to or greater than the first speed, determining an amplitude of the movement for the recorded direction, determining further movement amplitudes for known or detected speeds during the predetermined period, determining a change in the movement amplitude over the speed, and controlling the spinning cycle as a function of the change of the movement amplitude.

Abstract: A laundry deflector apparatus is provided for a household appliance for handling items of laundry and the laundry deflector apparatus includes a deflector element that is wedge-shaped and has a flat edge in the direction of a first end on the side opposite a base side and a steep edge in the direction of a second end opposite the first end, on the side opposite the base side. The laundry deflector apparatus is undercut in sections on the second end.

Abstract: A machine for laundry has a drum shaft rotatably mounted by a bearing for driving a laundry drum and having a device for determining loading-relevant characteristic variables or an unbalance of the laundry drum or of the drum shaft. The device for determining loading-relevant characteristic variables or an unbalance includes a magnetic field sensor that senses a magnetized region on the drum shaft or the laundry drum.

Abstract: A washing machine includes a liquor container suspended for oscillating in a housing. A washing drum is rotatable within the liquor container. A material-elastic collar is connected for establishing a liquid tight seal on the edge of a front-side loading opening of the liquor container, connecting with a housing-side loading opening, and with a door mounted for sealing the housing-side loading opening. A filling element is located on the door and has a curved outward portion in the shape of a truncated cone. The filling element has a surface area with at least one recess commencing close to a largest diameter of the cone portion, and forms a rising surface of sickle shape in the direction of the interior of the drum and toward a smallest diameter of the cone on the surface area thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laundry treatment device, particularly a washing machine, or a laundry dryer, comprising a housing (1), a container (3) suspended in the housing (1) in a swiveling manner, and an apparatus (2) for detecting the position and/or the arrangement of the container (3) in the housing (1), wherein the detection unit (2) comprises a magnetic field-generating clement (2b) and a detector unit (2a) for detecting a magnetic flux density of the magnetic field. The position detection unit (2) is characterized in that the detector unit (2a)) also detects the direction of the magnetic field lines of the magnetic field and determines the position of the container (3) as a function of the flux density and the field line direction.
