Abstract (en)
A container (2) for liquid detergents and additives may be used in domestic washing machines (1) or dishwashers being positioned inside these in their upper part, included between the tank (10) or washing volume and the top cover (4). Said container develops mainly horizontally, so that it makes the most of the area of the machine cross section to have a greater capacity with a not too great thickness while obstructing the access to the inner part of the machine (1). It is divided in several sections (2a,2b), each one with its loading port (8) and closing plug (9), as well as with an outlet port controlled by an electric valve or pump (7) controlled by a machine timer (6) for the inflow of the respective liquid in the washing area. The top cover will be preferably liftable for the loading of the different sections of the container (2) through the respective ports, for example being hinged on the rear side (5) of the machine itself or of the container. <IMAGE>
