  • Patent number: 7597110
    Abstract: A water-bearing domestic appliance includes a retainer for retaining items to be subjected to a liquid treatment and a drainage pump having an inlet through which liquid enters the drainage pump. The drainage pump also includes an outlet through which liquid exits the drainage pump, a pump impeller for conveying liquid along a passage through the drainage pump extending from the inlet to the outlet, and a separate chamber located upstream of the pump impeller relative to the direction of flow of liquid through the passage. The separate chamber has an internal diameter and an external diameter and has respective radial bores on its external diameter and in the vicinity of its internal diameter.

  • Patent number: 7047986
    Abstract: A movement reversal device is used in a dishwasher. The dishwasher has a washing receptacle and a hydraulic assembly provided with at least two spraying devices impinging upon goods to be washed with a fluid transported via a circulating pump. The transported fluid flows through the movement reversal device that contains at least two outlets for feeding different spraying devices. The outlets are opened or closed by a positioning element such that one or several or all outlets are open or closed one after another and/or continuously. In order to better influence the course of the wash cycle and to obtain an optimal washing effect corresponding to the degree of dirtiness of the goods to be washed, the characteristics of the hydraulic assembly and the characteristics of the circulating pump are simultaneously or alternately changed by the movement reversal device.

  • Publication number: 20050011546
    Abstract: A movement reversal device is used in a dishwasher. The dishwasher contains a washing receptacle which is provided with at least two spraying devices impinging upon goods to be washed that are disposed in the washing receptacle by a fluid transported via a circulating pump. The transported fluid flows through the movement reversal device that contains at least two outlets for feeding different spraying devices with the fluid. The outlets can be opened or closed in such a way by a positioning element that one or several or all outlets are open or closed one after another and/or continuously. In order to produce the movement reversal device in such a way that the actions of the electronically regulated revolution speed of the circulating pump can be replaced in a simple manner, the positioning element is provided with at least one opening with a diameter that is different from the diameter of at least one other opening.
