ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a dishwasher access-door mounted dishwasher detergent dispenser having an improved assembly. The dispenser includes an outer bow-tie shaped door which has a central shaft extending therefrom. The shaft extends through the access door, and through a stationary actuating member and a rotary cam and latch member. A terminal end of the shaft provides a transverse bore through which is loosely slip-fit a retaining pin. The cam and latch member includes a cylindrical hub and a projecting member. The cylindrical hub includes an upstanding cylindrical wall and a camming surface. The cylindrical wall, which extends above and generally surrounds the camming surface, defines a notched opening through which the terminal end of the shaft is accessible for insertion and removal of the slip fit pin mounted therein. The cylindrical wall surrounds or encloses opposite ends of the mounting pin and prevents the unintentional or accidental removal of the mounting pin from the shaft. The present invention improves upon designs which employ a frictional fit between the mounting pin and the shaft which results in fracture of the shaft or hub as a result of shaft hoop stress and the harsh environmental inherent in dishwashing machines.
