Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008075198A2] A front-loading laundry washing machine (1 ) comprises: - a cabinet (2) housing a treatment tub (3) in which a basket (4) for a laundry load is mounted, the basket (4) being rotatable through motor means (5), the cabinet (2), the tub (3) and the basket (4) having respective front openings (2A, 3A, 4A) substantially aligned with each other, - a gasket (7) defining a sealed passage connecting the front opening (2A) of the cabinet (2) with the front opening (3A) of the tub (3), the front opening (4A) of the basket (4) facing into the sealed passage, - a laundry rejector, designed to push or anyway urge toward the inside of the basket (4) parts of the laundry load that, during the rotation of the basket (4), possibly come out or tend to come out from the front opening (4a) of the basket to insinuate in the sealed passage. The rejector consists of a liquid ejecting device (20, 23) having a nozzle (20) positioned at least partially in the sealed passage and configured to point a liquid jet (22) toward a substantially predetermined region of the front opening (4A) of the basket (4), the liquid jet (22) being adapted to push the above-said parts of the laundry load toward the inside of the basket (4).
