View page
US Patent:
7556049, Jul 7, 2009
Filed:
Nov 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/978857
Inventors:
Michelle L Oakes - Holland MI, US
Marc R Pendergrass - Berrien Springs MI, US
Angela J Robbins - Stevensville MI, US
Andrew J Retsema - Benton Harbor MI, US
Assignee:
Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
A47L 15/48
B08B 3/00
US Classification:
134 58D, 134183, 134200, 134201, 34235
Abstract:
A modular exhaust vent for use in venting a wash chamber of a dishwasher, such as during a dry cycle, comprises a housing that forms an exhaust flow path from the wash chamber to the exterior of the dishwasher and a valve operable for pivotal movement about a pivot axis between an opened and closed position for selectively closing the exhaust flow path. An actuator for moving the valve is connected to the valve by a link such that activation of the actuator effects movement of the link to pivot the valve to either the opened or closed position. Further, the valve selectively closes the exhaust flow path at an inlet to impede introduction of sound into the exhaust flow path.
