Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007071583A3] The present invention relates to a washing machine (1) comprising a washing agent dispenser (3) . The washing agent dispenser comprises holes (5) disposed on the base of the compartment (4) . Each hole is sized such that the pressure of the washing agent having a certain depth (h) and a certain viscosity at the level of the hole is enough to balance its surface tension over the hole (figure 3 and figure 4) . Accordingly, when poured into the compartment up tothe maximum level determined by the producer, the liquid washing agent does not flow down the holes . In a phase of the washing program predetermined by the producer, the water inlet (6) is opened, water starts to be taken into the compartment, the pressure of the water-liquid washing agent mixture at the level of the hole overcomes its surface tension over the hole, and it starts flowing down the holes into the tub (2) .
