Abstract: A bulk dispenser to dispense a predetermined amount of a flowable material. The bulk dispenser may include a carton enclosed by a top assembly. An internal chimney extends into the carton and connects to the top assembly. The chimney is sized and positioned to dispense the predetermined amount of the flowable material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a basket (4) used in dishwashers (1) which increases used space by means of a drawer placed underneath it that does not take up an additional space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension mechanism in automatic washing machines with horizontal axis, consisting of connecting the moving tub assembly (2) with cabinet (1), using one or more elastic band(s) (6) on one or more plane(s) crossing the tub (2) geometrical axis, (and drum (3) rotary axis) laterally or longitudinally. Some or all of the bands may be connected in a stretched manner so that they could support the weight of the tub assembly or they may be connected loosely so that they will start to operate after some movement of the tub assembly. The resistance and damping parameters for the suspension mechanism are provided by properly dimensioning the bands, and by their reciprocal movements with friction on the tub and/or by their own elasticity.
