  • Patent number: 7555924
    Abstract: A basket (6) for loading the laundry in a washing machine, washer-drier, drier and the like comprises a innerly hollow body with a longitudinal axis (X) being the basket (6) rotation axis, wherein said body has at least one shaped length (12) the radial distance (r, r14, r15) thereof from the longitudinal axis (X) is increased towards the rear wall (8) such that the barycentre of the inner volume (10) being defined by the hollow body is displaced towards the rear wall (8), wherein in the shaped length (12) there are formed one or more steps (13) extending along a circumpherential direction to the longitudinal axis (X) each providing an increase in the radial distance (r, r14, r15) of the shaped length (12) from the longitudinal axis (X) and wherein the step defines at least two portions (14, 15) having different radial distances (r, r14, r15) from the longitudinal axis (X).

  • Patent number: 6083292
    Abstract: Domestic vacuum cleaner with multiple cyclones arranged in cascade, in which a first tangential cyclone supplied with a flow of dust-laden air captures the coarser particles in a first container arranged below said first cyclone and discharges the air flow, partially purified, into a first internal duct coaxial with the first cyclone and housing an axial swirling device which concentrates the residual particles in a peripheral fraction of the flow, which is conveyed by a capturing ring into a second tangential cyclone, while the residual fraction of flow passes through the ring and is conveyed by a second duct, axially aligned with the first duct, to a suction unit.The captured fraction of flow conveyed into the second cyclone deposits the residual particles in a second container arranged below the second cyclone and thus purified is sucked into the second duct by the fraction of flow passing through the ring, which acts as an extractor nozzle.
