The invention claimed is: 1. A device for adding auxiliary agents to a home appliance that runs with liquid, with a) a main tub (1), which has a plurality of fixed walls and a service opening (4) to put things to be cleaned into the main tub, the fixed walls including a plurality of side walls (2)
The invention claimed is: 1. A device for adding auxiliary agents to a home appliance that runs with liquid, with a) a main tub (1), which has a plurality of fixed walls and a service opening (4) to put things to be cleaned into the main tub, the fixed walls including a plurality of side walls (2) and a ceiling (3), and the service opening (4) being closed by a moveable door, the device including b) at least one dispensing unit (6) to hold and dispense auxiliary agents, c) whereby the dispensing unit (6) is placed inside the main tub (1) and is operably attached to at least one of the fixed walls, d) whereby at least part of the dispensing unit (6) is placed so it can move or is movable, and e) can be moved, at least partly, beyond said at least one fixed wall to which the dispensing unit remains operably attached while being moved and out of the main tub (1) in the direction of the service opening (4) to enable at least one auxiliary agent to be added to the dispensing unit (6). 2. The device in claim 1, whereby the dispensing unit (6) can, at least partly, be taken out of the main tub (1). 3. The device according to claim 1, whereby on said at least one fixed wall of the main tub (1) to which the dispensing unit (6) operably attached, and/or on the dispensing unit (6), at least one means of attaching the dispensing unit (6) and/or at least one means of guiding at least part of the dispensing unit (6) in the main tub (1) is/are provided, said at least one means of guiding comprising at least one guide rail (16). 4. The device according to claim 1, whereby at least one handle is provided on the dispensing unit (6) to move the dispensing unit (6) and/or at least one means is provided that holds the dispensing unit (6) in place when it is pushed in. 5. The device according to claim 1, whereby the dispensing unit (6) includes at least one storage chamber (10) to hold at least one auxiliary agent. 6. The device according to claim 1, whereby the dispensing unit (6) and/or at least one storage chamber (10) include at least one fill hole (7, 8, 9) for at least one auxiliary agent and at least one dispensing hole (11, 12, 13) for at least one auxiliary agent. 7. The device in claim 6, whereby at least one fill hole (7, 8, 9) is directed toward said at least one fixed wall of the main tub (1), to which the dispensing unit (6) is operably attached. 8. The device in claim 6, whereby at least one dispensing hole (11, 12, 13) is directed toward the main tub (1) in a direction basically perpendicular to said at least one fixed wall of the main tub (1) to which the dispensing unit (6) is operably attached. 9. The device according to claim 1, whereby at least one part of the dispensing unit (6) can be pulled out of the main tub (1) far enough to expose at least one fill hole (7, 8, 9). 10. The device according to claim 1, whereby at least one storage chamber (10) is designed so that it can hold maximally a predetermined amount of auxiliary agent for a work cycle or maximally a predetermined amount of auxiliary agent for several work cycles. 11. The device according to claim 1, whereby the dispensing unit (6) includes at least two storage chambers (10) to hold auxiliary agents, said at least two storage chambers (10) comprising at least one storage chamber (10) to hold a detergent and at least one storage chamber (10) to hold a washing auxiliary agent. 12. The device in claim 11, whereby said at least one storage chamber (10) to hold a washing auxiliary agent can hold a predetermined amount of auxiliary agent for several work cycles and at least one storage chamber (10) for the detergent can hold a predetermined amount of auxiliary agent for a wash cycle. 13. The device according to claim 1, whereby the dispensing unit (6) is connected to a hydraulic circuit in the home appliance, so that at least some of a working liquid flows through the dispensing unit (6). 14. The device according to claim 1, whereby at least one liquid distribution device is provided, through which the working liquid is distributed to the individual areas in the dispensing unit (6) and/or through which the amount of liquid and/or the distribution of liquid can be controlled. 15. The device in claim 14, whereby the at least one liquid distribution device is built into the dispensing unit (6). 16. The device according to claim 1, whereby a liquid-distribution device is provided for metering the working liquid in at least one storage chamber (10). 17. The device in claim 16, whereby the storage chamber (10) is designed so that the auxiliary agent is carried out of the storage chamber (10), at least partly, through the dispensing hole (11, 12, 13) by the working liquid which is added. 18. The device according to claim 1, whereby the dispensing unit (6) includes at least one spray unit (14) for spraying at least some of the working liquid circulated in the main tub (1), said at least one spray unit (14) comprising at least one spray nozzle (14) and/or one spray arm. 19. The device in claim 18, whereby at least one channel and/or at least one means is/are provided in the dispensing unit (6) to supply the at least one spray unit (14) with working liquid. 20. The device according to claim 5, whereby a liquid distribution device is provided to meter the working liquid into at least one spray unit (14), which corresponds to the liquid distribution device for metering the working liquid into the at least one storage chamber (10). 21.
