Abstract[English]
In a drawer-style washing appliance, such as a drawer-style dishwasher 100, a tub flange 301 is provided with drainage-facilitating features 167 to encourage draining of any pooled washing liquid on the upper surface of the tub flange during a washing cycle, which would otherwise remain there after opening of the drawer. The drainage features may be one or more ridge 168 or channel on/in the surface of the tub flange, particularly at or about the inner peripheral edge 304 of the tub flange. Alternatively, the drainage-facilitating features may be provided on the underside of the tub lid 201 in a region that will come into contact with the tub flange when the lid is lowered to seal the tub during a washing cycle.[French]
Dans un appareil de lavage à tiroir selon l'invention, tel qu'un lave-vaisselle à tiroir (100), le rebord de cuve (301) est doté de caractéristiques facilitant l'écoulement (167) afin de favoriser l'écoulement de tout liquide de lavage accumulé sur la surface supérieure du rebord de cuve au cours d'un cycle de lavage, qui resterait autrement en place après l'ouverture du tiroir. Les caractéristiques de drainage peuvent consister en une ou plusieurs crêtes (168) ou un canal à la surface du rebord de cuve, en particulier au bord périphérique interne (304) du rebord de cuve ou à proximité de celui-ci. En variante, les caractéristiques facilitant le drainage peuvent être prévues sur la face inférieure du couvercle de cuve (201) dans une zone qui entre en contact avec le rebord de cuve lorsque le couvercle est abaissé pour sceller la cuve pendant un cycle de lavage.
