Abstract

A device for the preparation of a suspension from a supply of powdered, granular or block-form detergent by spraying water through nozzles into a water-permeable container accommodating the detergent material, provided with a hinged cover, at least one biasing means which pivots the sieve-like container as the cover opens from its horizontal in-use position toward the inside of the front wall of the housing, which is inclined outward in relation to the vertical housing axis, and at least one closure element which is arranged on the pivotal cover and which, as the cover pivots into its closed position, engages the container and turns it against the force of the biasing means into its horizontal in-use position, keeping it in that position.
