Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing treatment equipment technology, specifically to a clothing treatment agent dispensing device and clothing treatment equipment. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve better garment treatment results, garment treatment agent dispensing devices have emerged. These devices typically use a dispensing pump as the driving source. In related technologies, the drain pipe of the garment treatment equipment is usually located above the dispensing pump. During long-term use of the garment treatment equipment, if the drain pipe leaks, the leaking water will flow directly downwards and can easily drip onto the dispensing pump, affecting its normal operation and even causing electrical safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides a garment treatment agent dispensing device and a garment treatment equipment.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a garment treatment agent dispensing device is provided, the garment treatment agent dispensing device comprising: Base; A dispensing pump is installed on the base; A protective cover is installed on the base. The protective cover includes a cover plate and a guide plate. The cover plate covers the top of the dispensing pump. The guide plate is connected to the edge of the cover plate. The guide plate has a guiding surface. Along the direction away from the cover plate, the height of the guiding surface in the horizontal direction gradually decreases.

[0005] In some possible implementations, the protective cover is detachably connected to the base.

[0006] On the one hand, it facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the protective cover. On the other hand, since the protective cover covers the top of the dispensing pump, when the dispensing pump needs to be inspected or maintained, the protective cover can be removed directly, thus avoiding interference or disruption to the inspection and maintenance of the dispensing pump caused by the installation of the protective cover.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the protective cover further includes a mounting ear and a fastener, the mounting ear being connected to the deflector and protruding in a direction away from the deflector, the mounting ear having a mounting hole, the base having a mounting mating hole, and the fastener passing through and being secured in the mounting hole and the mounting mating hole.

[0008] In this way, during the assembly of the protective cover and the base, the fasteners are tightened into the mounting holes on the mounting ears and the mounting mating holes on the base by screwing them on, so as to lock the protective cover onto the base and achieve relative fixation between the two.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the protective cover further includes reinforcing ribs connected between the mounting ear and the deflector.

[0010] The reinforcing ribs connecting the mounting ear and the deflector plate strengthen the connection between them, thereby improving the stability of the protective cover.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the protective cover further includes a side panel connected to the lower surface of the cover plate and together with the cover plate forming a receiving cavity for accommodating the dispensing pump.

[0012] The side panels create a relatively enclosed cavity that blocks water splashing from the sides or flowing down from the top cover, providing all-around waterproof protection for the pump and further reducing the risk of the pump getting wet.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the protective cover further includes mounting ears and fasteners. The mounting ears are connected to the side panel and protrude in a direction away from the side panel. The mounting ears have mounting holes, and the base has mounting mating holes. The fasteners pass through and are fastened in the mounting holes and the mounting mating holes.

[0014] In this way, during the assembly of the protective cover and the base, the fasteners are tightened into the mounting holes on the mounting ears and the mounting mating holes on the base by screwing them on, so as to lock the protective cover onto the base and achieve relative fixation between the two.

[0015] In some possible implementations, a notch extending through the side panel along its thickness direction is also formed at the bottom end of the side panel.

[0016] The gap can avoid related structures near the aforementioned garment treatment agent dispensing device. For example, in an exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the gap can allow a harness that dispenses and provides power to pass through.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the cover plate and the guide plate are integrally formed.

[0018] The one-piece molding process eliminates the connection interface between the cover plate and the guide plate, avoiding structural failure caused by loosening or breakage of the connection parts.

[0019] In some possible implementations, there are multiple deflectors, which are arranged at circumferential intervals along the cover plate and are respectively connected to the edge of the cover plate.

[0020] Multiple deflectors direct water dripping onto the cover plate from different directions. When water leaking from the drain pipe falls onto the cover plate, it is not limited to drainage in one direction. Instead, it is quickly guided away from the pump by the deflectors, thus speeding up the drainage, reducing the time water stays on the cover plate, and reducing the possibility of water overflowing onto the pump, effectively protecting the safe operation of the pump.

[0021] In some possible implementations, the protective cover further includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs, which are staggered on the upper surface of the cover plate.

[0022] The reinforcing ribs on the upper surface of the cover plate can strengthen the cover plate without increasing its thickness, thereby improving its stability and preventing water accumulation on top of the cover plate due to deformation caused by insufficient strength.

[0023] In some possible implementations, the upper surface of the cover plate is formed as a plane; or, The upper surface of the cover plate is formed as an arc surface that is high in the middle and low at the edges.

[0024] When the upper surface of the cover plate is flat, the water dripping onto it will flow in a relatively stable direction under the action of gravity. Furthermore, compared to complex curved structures, the processing of flat surfaces does not require special molds or complex processing techniques, which can reduce manufacturing costs and production difficulty.

[0025] The curved structure allows water on the upper surface of the cover plate to flow naturally towards the edge under the influence of gravity. Furthermore, compared to a flat structure, the drainage speed is faster, reducing the time water stays on the cover plate, lowering the possibility of water accumulation, and more effectively protecting the delivery pump below.

[0026] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a garment treatment apparatus is provided, including a garment treatment agent dispensing device as described above.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the garment processing device further includes a first cylinder, a second cylinder, and a third cylinder, wherein the inner diameters of the first cylinder and the second cylinder are both smaller than the inner diameter of the third cylinder, and the first cylinder and the second cylinder are both disposed above the third cylinder.

[0028] This disclosure does not limit the specific functions of the different drums. For example, the first, second, and third drums may all have washing and drying functions, and users can use appropriate washing programs according to the characteristics of different clothes to improve the overall washing effect.

[0029] In some possible implementations, the garment treatment agent dispensing device is positioned above the third cylinder and below the first and second cylinders, with the drain pipes of the first and second cylinders located above the dispensing pump.

[0030] Because the drain pipes of the first cylinder and the second cylinder are located above the dispensing pump, this disclosure provides a protective cover above the dispensing pump. When the drain pipes of the first cylinder and / or the second cylinder leak, the leaking water will first drip onto the cover plate, thereby preventing water from dripping directly onto the dispensing pump and reducing the risk of the dispensing pump short-circuiting due to moisture, causing malfunctions, or even electrical safety hazards.

[0031] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: The protective cover is placed over the dispensing pump. When the drain pipe of the garment processing equipment leaks, the leaking water will first drip onto the cover, thus preventing water from dripping directly onto the dispensing pump. This reduces the risk of the dispensing pump short-circuiting due to moisture, causing malfunctions, or even electrical safety hazards.

[0032] Furthermore, a guide plate is connected to the edge of the cover plate, and the guide plate has a guide surface whose height in the horizontal direction gradually decreases along the direction away from the cover plate. This allows water dripping onto the cover plate to flow along the inclined direction of the guide surface under its own gravity, quickly guiding the water to a position away from the dispensing pump. This avoids water accumulation on the cover plate and reduces the possibility of water overflowing onto the dispensing pump due to excessive water accumulation, further providing a safe operating environment for the dispensing pump and the entire clothing treatment agent dispensing device.

[0033] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0037] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms are used only for the convenience of describing the disclosure and for simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientation construction and operation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the disclosure. "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding components. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have any sequential or importance.

[0038] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connect," "link," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Research has shown that in related technologies, the drain pipe of clothing processing equipment is usually located above the delivery pump. During the long-term use of clothing processing equipment, once the drain pipe leaks, the leaked water will flow directly downwards and can easily drip directly onto the delivery pump, affecting the normal operation of the delivery pump and even causing electrical safety hazards.

[0040] In view of this, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 is provided. The garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 includes a base 10, a dispensing pump 20, and a protective cover 30. The dispensing pump 20 and the protective cover 30 are both mounted on the base 10. The protective cover 30 includes a cover plate 31 and a guide plate 32. The cover plate 31 covers the dispensing pump 20. The guide plate 32 is connected to the edge of the cover plate 31. The guide plate 32 has a guiding surface. Along the direction away from the cover plate 31, the height of the guiding surface in the horizontal direction gradually decreases.

[0041] The cover plate 31 of the protective cover 30 covers the top of the delivery pump 20. When the drain pipe 90 of the clothing processing equipment 100 leaks, the leaking water will first drip onto the cover plate 31, thereby preventing water from dripping directly onto the delivery pump 20 and reducing the risk of the delivery pump 20 short-circuiting due to moisture, causing malfunctions or even electrical safety hazards.

[0042] Furthermore, a guide plate 32 is connected to the edge of the cover plate 31, and the guide plate 32 has a guide surface whose height in the horizontal direction gradually decreases along the direction away from the cover plate 31. This allows the water dripping onto the cover plate 31 to flow along the inclined direction of the guide surface under its own gravity, quickly guiding the water to a position away from the dispensing pump 20. This avoids water accumulation on the cover plate 31 and reduces the possibility of water overflowing onto the dispensing pump 20 due to excessive water accumulation, further providing a safe operating environment for the dispensing pump 20 and the entire clothing treatment agent dispensing device 1.

[0043] This disclosure does not limit the specific connection relationship between the protective cover 30 and the base 10. For example, in some possible embodiments, the protective cover 30 and the base 10 can be connected in a non-removable manner, such as by gluing or riveting. The protective cover 30 and the base 10 connected in a non-removable manner have higher connection strength and better connection stability, which can prevent loosening when the garment handling equipment 100 vibrates during operation.

[0044] Alternatively, in other embodiments provided in this disclosure, the protective cover 30 is detachably connected to the base 10. Detachably connecting the protective cover 30 to the base 10 facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the protective cover 30. Furthermore, since the protective cover 30 covers the top of the dispensing pump 20, it can be directly removed when inspection or maintenance of the dispensing pump 20 is required, thus avoiding any interference or disruption to the inspection or maintenance of the dispensing pump 20.

[0045] In embodiments where the protective cover 30 and the base 10 are detachably connected, in one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as... Figure 4As shown, the protective cover 30 may further include a mounting ear 33 and a fastener 34. The mounting ear 33 is connected to the guide plate 32 and protrudes in a direction away from the guide plate 32. A mounting hole is formed on the mounting ear 33, and a mounting mating hole is formed on the base 10. The fastener 34 passes through and is fastened in the mounting hole and the mounting mating hole. Thus, during the assembly of the protective cover 30 and the base 10, the fastener 34 is tightened into the mounting hole on the mounting ear 33 and the mounting mating hole on the base 10 by screwing it on, thereby locking the protective cover 30 onto the base 10 and achieving relative fixation between the two.

[0046] Furthermore, since the mounting ear 33 protrudes in the direction away from the guide plate 32, the mounting ear 33 can also avoid the dispensing pump 20 located below the shield cover.

[0047] In another exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, a buckle is provided on one of the protective cover 30 and the base 10, and a slot is provided on the other of the protective cover 30 and the base 10. The buckle can be detachably engaged in the slot to achieve a detachable connection between the protective cover 30 and the base 10.

[0048] To enhance the strength of the mounting ear 33, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protective cover 30 may also include a reinforcing rib 35, which is connected between the mounting ear 33 and the deflector 32. The reinforcing rib 35 connected between the mounting ear 33 and the deflector 32 can strengthen the connection between the mounting ear 33 and the deflector 32, thereby improving the stability of the protective cover 30.

[0049] While the cover plate 31 alone can prevent water dripping from above, there is still a safety hazard of water entering the dispensing pump 20. Therefore, in another exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the protective cover 30 may further include a side panel 36. The side panel 36 is connected to the lower surface of the cover plate 31 and together with the cover plate 31, forms a receiving cavity for accommodating the dispensing pump 20. The side panel 36 forms a relatively closed receiving cavity, which can block water splashing from the side or flowing down from the top cover plate 31, providing all-around waterproof protection for the dispensing pump 20 and further reducing the risk of the dispensing pump 20 being soaked in water.

[0050] Furthermore, when water accumulates inside the garment processing equipment 100, the side panel 36 can also prevent water from entering the receiving cavity and contacting the dispensing pump 20.

[0051] Furthermore, during the use of the garment processing equipment 100, small foreign objects such as dust and fibers may float inside the equipment. If these foreign objects enter the delivery pump 20, they may affect the operation of its mechanical parts or even damage electrical components. The receiving cavity formed by the side panel 36 and the cover plate 31 provides a relatively independent space for the delivery pump 20, preventing external foreign objects from entering and contacting the delivery pump 20, thus improving the safety and stability of the delivery pump 20.

[0052] For the embodiment of the protective cover 30 including the side panel 36, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the protective cover 30 may further include a mounting ear 33 and a fastener 34. The mounting ear 33 is connected to the side panel 36 and protrudes in a direction away from the side panel 36. A mounting hole is formed on the mounting ear 33, and a mounting mating hole is formed on the base 10. The fastener 34 passes through and is fastened in the mounting hole and the mounting mating hole. Thus, during the assembly of the protective cover 30 and the base 10, the fastener 34 is tightened into the mounting hole on the mounting ear 33 and the mounting mating hole on the base 10 by screwing it on, thereby locking the protective cover 30 onto the base 10 and achieving relative fixation between the two.

[0053] In some possible implementations, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 As shown, a notch 37 extending through the side panel 36 along its thickness direction is also formed at the bottom end. This notch 37 can avoid related structures near the aforementioned clothing treatment agent dispensing device 1. For example, in an exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the notch 37 can allow a wiring harness for dispensing and providing electrical power to pass through.

[0054] In some possible implementations, the cover plate 31 and the guide plate 32 are integrally formed. The integral forming process eliminates the connection interface between the cover plate 31 and the guide plate 32, avoiding structural failures caused by loosening or breakage of the connection parts.

[0055] In the embodiment where the cover plate 31 and the guide plate 32 are integrally formed, the cover plate 31 and the guide plate 32 can be manufactured integrally by injection molding, extrusion or other methods.

[0056] To improve the traffic diversion effect, in some possible implementation methods, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, there are multiple guide plates 32, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cover plate 31 and connected to the edge of the cover plate 31 respectively. The multiple guide plates 32 guide the water dripping onto the cover plate 31 from different directions. When water leaking from the drain pipe 90 falls onto the cover plate 31, it will not be limited to drainage in a single direction, but can be quickly guided by the guide plates 32 to a position away from the delivery pump 20, thereby accelerating the drainage speed, reducing the residence time of water on the cover plate 31, reducing the possibility of water overflowing onto the delivery pump 20, and effectively protecting the safe operation of the delivery pump 20.

[0057] Alternatively, the aforementioned multiple guide vanes 32 can also be constructed as a single piece.

[0058] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protective cover 30 may also include multiple reinforcing ribs 38, which are staggered on the upper surface of the cover plate 31. In this way, the reinforcing ribs 38 on the upper surface of the cover plate 31 can strengthen the cover plate 31 without increasing its thickness, thereby improving its stability and preventing water accumulation on top of the cover plate 31 due to deformation caused by insufficient strength.

[0059] Alternatively, the aforementioned reinforcing rib 38 can also be provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 31 to avoid interfering with the flow of water on the upper surface of the cover plate 31.

[0060] To facilitate the rapid sliding off of water droplets falling onto the upper surface of the cover plate 31, in one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the cover plate 31 is formed as a plane. When the upper surface of the cover plate 31 is a plane, the water dripping onto it will flow in a relatively stable direction under the action of gravity. Furthermore, compared with complex curved surface structures, the processing of a plane does not require special molds or complex processing techniques, which can reduce manufacturing costs and production difficulty.

[0061] In the embodiment where the upper surface of the cover plate 31 is formed as a plane, it should be noted that, in order to improve the water guiding capacity of the cover plate 31, a guide groove can also be provided on the upper surface of the cover plate 31, so that the water dripping onto the cover plate 31 can flow along the extension direction of the guide groove to a designated location (such as the direction where the guide plate 32 is located) and be discharged to an area away from the delivery pump 20.

[0062] Alternatively, in another exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the upper surface of the cover plate 31 can be formed as an arc surface that is higher in the middle and lower at the edges. The arc surface structure allows water on the upper surface of the cover plate 31 to flow naturally towards the edges under the action of gravity, and compared with the planar structure, the drainage speed is faster, reducing the residence time of water on the cover plate 31, reducing the possibility of water accumulation, and more effectively protecting the discharge pump 20 below.

[0063] In addition, the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 also includes a first connecting component 50. The base 10 is connected to the outer frame of the garment treatment device 100 through the first connecting component 50. In one embodiment provided in this disclosure, the first connecting component 50 includes a plurality of connectors, and the base 10 is detachably connected to the outer frame through a plurality of spaced connectors.

[0064] This disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the aforementioned connectors or the connection method between them and the side vertical beams. For example, in one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the connector can be formed as a locking block, with one end of each connector connected to the base 10, and multiple slots formed on the outer frame, with the other end of each connector engaging in its corresponding slot.

[0065] In other embodiments provided in this disclosure, the aforementioned connector may also be formed as a fastening structure such as a screw or bolt, and fastened to the mounting holes pre-set on the base 10 and the outer frame by screwing, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the base 10 and the side vertical beam.

[0066] In this disclosure, the first connecting component 50 and the base 10 can be integrally formed. This integral forming process eliminates the connection interface between the first connecting component 50 and the base 10, avoiding structural failures caused by loosening or breakage of the connection points. When subjected to external forces, stress can be distributed more evenly throughout the structure, reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration, impact, and other factors.

[0067] The garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 may also include a top cover 40, which covers the base 10 and encloses it to form a liquid storage chamber. A first connecting component 50 is connected to the base 10 and / or the top cover 40. The first connecting component 50 may be connected to the base 10, the top cover 40, or both simultaneously. This flexible connection method can be adjusted according to the actual usage environment and needs.

[0068] In some possible implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 may also include a top cover 60, which covers the upper cover 40, and a dispensing water passage 70 is formed between the top cover 60 and the upper cover 40. By connecting pipes, a pumping system (such as a dispensing pump 20), etc., liquid is pumped out from the liquid storage tank formed by the upper cover 40 and the base 10, and transported through the dispensing water passage 70 to one or more of the first cylinder 200, the second cylinder 300, and the third cylinder 400 to meet different operating scenarios.

[0069] In some possible implementations, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 may further include a dispensing port structure 80, which is at least partially inserted into the liquid storage chamber and movably connected to the upper cover 40. The movable connection between the dispensing port structure 80 and the upper cover 40 allows the user to flexibly adjust the position and angle of the dispensing port according to actual needs during use, making dispensing operations more convenient. Furthermore, the movable connection between the dispensing port structure 80 and the upper cover 40 also allows for a tight seal against the upper cover 40 when not in use, forming a good seal and preventing liquid leakage from the storage chamber.

[0070] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 6 As shown, a garment treatment apparatus 100 is provided, including the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 as described above. This garment treatment apparatus 100 possesses all the beneficial effects of the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 described above, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0071] In the exemplary embodiments provided in this disclosure, the clothing processing equipment 100 mentioned above may include, but is not limited to, washing machines, dryers, clothing care machines, clothing disinfection machines, and other equipment.

[0072] Furthermore, the aforementioned garment processing equipment 100 can also be a single-tube or multi-tube system, for example, Figure 6As shown, in an exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the clothing processing device 100 may further include a first drum 200, a second drum 300, and a third drum 400. The inner diameters of the first drum 200 and the second drum 300 are both smaller than the inner diameter of the third drum 400. The first drum 200 and the second drum 300 are both positioned above the third drum 400. It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific functions of the different drums. For example, the first drum 200, the second drum 300, and the third drum 400 may all have washing and drying functions, or they may only have washing or only drying functions. In the embodiment where the first drum 200, the second drum 300, and the third drum 400 all have washing functions, clothing of different materials, colors, and degrees of soiling can be placed in the first drum 200, the second drum 300, and the third drum 400 respectively for washing. For example, white clothes can be placed in the first drum 200, dark clothes in the second drum 300, and heavy coats can be placed in the third drum 400 with a larger inner diameter. This can avoid color bleeding and mutual wear between different clothes, and use appropriate washing programs according to the characteristics of different clothes, thereby improving the overall washing effect.

[0073] In addition, small items of clothing, such as socks and underwear, can be washed quickly in the first tub 200 or the second tub 300, while large items of clothing can be washed in the third tub 400 for the longer washing time required. This eliminates the need to mix all the clothes together for a uniform long wash, making more efficient use of the washing time and improving washing efficiency.

[0074] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 can be positioned above the third cylinder 400 and below the first cylinder 200 and the second cylinder 300. The drain pipes 90 of the first cylinder 200 and the second cylinder 300 are located above the dispensing pump 20. By positioning the garment treatment agent dispensing device 1 above the third cylinder 400 and below the first cylinder 200 and the second cylinder 300, the vertical space inside the garment treatment equipment 100 is fully utilized. Within the limited equipment space, a compact layout of the components is achieved, avoiding spatial conflicts between components, making the overall structure of the garment treatment equipment 100 more compact and reducing the equipment's floor space.

[0075] Furthermore, since the drain pipe 90 of the first cylinder 200 and the drain pipe 90 of the second cylinder 300 are located above the dispensing pump 20, this disclosure provides a protective cover 30 above the dispensing pump 20. When the drain pipe 90 of the first cylinder 200 and / or the drain pipe 90 of the second cylinder 300 leaks, the leaking water will first drip onto the cover plate 31, thereby preventing water from dripping directly onto the dispensing pump 20 and reducing the risk of the dispensing pump 20 short-circuiting due to moisture, causing malfunctions, or even electrical safety hazards.

[0076] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0077] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0078] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
