Patent number: 12383112Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity and a spray arm designed to supply wash liquor and/or freshwater to dishware received in the dishwasher cavity. The spray arm includes an extension arm which is actively driven by a drive element, and a spray arm satellite which is mounted on the extension arm for rotation about an axis of rotation and includes spray nozzles supplied with wash liquor and/or the freshwater and designed to exit spray jets which rotate the spray arm satellite. The spray nozzles are designed so that force vectors resulting from the exiting spray jets mutually cancel out one another on a plane oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Michael Lugert, Bernd Eisenbart, Werner Oblinger

Patent number: 11696667Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing container receiving a dishwasher load, a pump pot, and a spray arm for applying washing liquor and/or fresh water to the dishwasher load in the washing container. The spray arm is actively driven by a drive system and mounted on the pump pot for rotation about an axis of rotation. The spray arm has a rib geometry that revolves around the axis of rotation and includes an encoding groove running along the axis of rotation. The pump pot includes an encoding rib running along the axis of rotation and corresponding to the encoding groove. The encoding rib is configured for passage through the encoding groove along the axis of rotation during assembly and disassembly of the spray arm so as to enable the spray arm to be assembled on and disassembled from the pump pot in precisely one angular position.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Bernd Eisenbart, Michael Lugert, Werner Oblinger, Igor Hoffmann
