Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a detergent dispensing apparatus, including at least one detergent dispensing chamber for receiving, in measured doses, pulverulent or liquid detergent or fabric softener, which can be flushed-out by means of water introduced via a flushing opening in the detergent dispensing chamber extending to the washing container, wherein the flushing opening is disposed in the base of the detergent dispensing chamber, and the water is suppliable via an inlet pipe, and wherein a valve cap of a valve arrangement is displaceable to a limited extent on the inlet pipe, which cap closes the flushing opening in a lower initial position due to its inherent weight and is raisable by means of the supplied water into an upper operative position which exposes the flushing opening. Because of a new disposition and configuration for the detergent dispensing chamber, the inlet pipe and the valve cap, the flushing opening can be totally exposed in the operative position.
