Laundry Washing Machine

摘要

A laundry washing machine includes an outer casing, a washing tub arranged inside the casing directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized in a front wall of the casing, a rotatable drum arranged in an axially rotating manner inside the washing tub and structured for receiving the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispenser which is housed inside the casing between the washing tub and the top wall of the casing and is structured for feeding into the washing tub a detergent, softener and/or other washing agent mixed with fresh water arriving from the water mains, and a water softening device which is arranged inside the boxlike casing and is structured for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub. The water softening device in turn includes a water-softening agent container filled with a water softening agent able to reduce the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, and a regeneration-agent reservoir which is fluidly connected to said water-softening agent container and is structured to receive a salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening function of said water softening agents. At least one among the water-softening agent container and the regeneration-agent reservoir is a stand-alone modular component-part which is provided with mechanical coupling means structured for allowing rigid fastening of the stand-alone modular component-part to the detergent dispenser.
