DEVICE FOR SUPPRESSING STEAM IN DOMESTIC WASHING MACHINES

摘要

To prevent the steam which arises during washing in the washing machine tub from becoming dispersed into the atmosphere by way of the drawer or other wash agent container (6), this latter is connected to the tub (1) by a syphon (11), so that the steam is unable to escape by this path because it is blocked by the plug of water which forms in the syphon. In addition, a vent pipe (42) is connected to the tub (1) and is at least partly water-cooled to allow at least partial condensation of the steam which necessarily passes to the outside through said pipe (42).
