Domestic appliance with a door-weight compensating device

1. An appliance, comprising:

a treatment container including a container door pivotable about a pivot axis; and

a door-weight compensating device for at least partially compensating a weight of the container door, the door-weight compensating device including a spring which is connected by a tension transmitter in a spring force transmitting manner to the container door,

wherein the container door includes a pivotable deflector, the deflector having at least two mutally separate sliding surfaces for deflecting the tension transmitter, wherein the deflector further comprises two side plates arranged on the deflector in a region between the two sliding surfaces, which connect the two sliding surfaces together and retain the tension transmitter between the two side plates.

2. The appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the deflector is structured to engage with a locking element to secure the deflector against axial movement.

3. The appliance as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the deflector is held by door weight forces in a position of engagement with the locking element.

4. The appliance as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the locking element is disposed on a base support to which the treatment container of the appliance is attached,wherein the deflector is mounted in an axial direction on a bearing pin of the base support, and then subsequently pivotable such a portion of the deflector is aligned with a portion of the locking element to prevent axial movement relative to the bearing pin.

5. The appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding surfaces are structured as circular segment sections.

6. The appliance as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sliding surfaces are disposed minor-symmetrically to one another.

7. The appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a material of the sliding surfaces is different from a material from which other components of the deflector are made.

8. The appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tension transmitter is one of a tension cable and tension belt.

9. The appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spring is a coil spring.

10. An appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the two sliding surfaces is connected to a bearing bush via a plurality of reinforcing webs.

11. An appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one sliding surface of the two sliding surfaces includes reinforcing ribs to stiffen the one sliding surface.

12. An appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the side plates are made of a material different than a material of the two sliding surfaces.

13. A domestic appliance comprising:

a treatment tank with a container door pivotable about a pivot axis and a door weight compensating device to at least partially counterbalance the weight of the container door by a spring force of a spring, which is connected to a traction transfer element to transfer the spring force to the container door, the compensating device further including a deflection apparatus arranged to be pivotable about a pivot axis,

wherein the deflection apparatus has at least two sliding surfaces to deflect the traction transfer element and two side plates are arranged on the deflection apparatus in a region between the two sliding surfaces, which connect the two sliding surfaces together and retain the traction transfer element between the two side plates.

14. A domestic appliance as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the deflection apparatus is provided with a hollow cylindrical bearing bush and is mounted on a base support via said bearing bush.

15. A domestic appliance as claimed in claim 13 , wherein each lateral side of the domestic appliance includes one said deflection apparatus.

16. A domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14 , wherein each lateral side of the domestic appliance includes one said deflection apparatus.
