ABSTRACT:
A liquid fabric softener or treating liquid dispenser for a washing machine having a parabolic or egg-shaped body portion from which radially extends an annular rim portion. The rim portion rests upon a top surface of an agitator and is held in place thereon by a removable, resiliently press-fit cap. The rim portion has a series of bosses extending upwardly therefrom and a series of notched openings formed therein. The bosses space the cap member from the upper surface of the rim portion. During operation of the washing machine in a spin cycle, treating liquid within the body portion of the dispenser flows upwardly along an inner surface of the cup body, downwardly through the notched openings in the rim portion, and into a holding chamber provided within the hollow interior of the agitator. The holding chamber retains the treating liquid until the rotational speed of the agitator slows to a predetermined rate at an end of the spin cycle, and thereafter dispenses the treating liquid down the hollow interior of the agitator, through openings in a bushing and a bottom of a perforated inner wash tub, and into the outer wash tub wherein it is mixed with rinse water and subsequently delivered to the clothes within the inner wash tub in a diluted condition.
