Abstract

PURPOSE: To wash washing by means of a weak water stream and to reduce rotation speed or stop rotation when the washing are brought into contact with a sub-stirring body to prevent the damage to a cloth by providing the sub-stirring body in the upper part of a main stirring body so as to be freely rotatable and rotating the sub-stirring body by means of a water stream which occurs by means of the rotation of the main stirring body. CONSTITUTION: A push-button 14 is depressed by a finger, a ball 16 is hidden inside a holding hole 13a and the holding cylinder 13 is fitted to the attachment part of the main stirring body 5. When the finger is taken-off, the ball 16 is engaged with the groove of the attachment part by a compression coil spring 15. The sub-stirring body 12 is attached to the upper part of the main stirring body 5 so as to be freely rotatable and attachable/detachable and the inside of a washing tank 3 becomes a vertical partitioned state. Then, the washing is put into an upper chamber A and water is supplied to a water level B, for example. When the main stirring body 5 is rotated and driven forward or backward, a whirling water stream is generated in the lower chamber C of the sub-stirring body 12 and the blade 12b of the sub-stirring body 12 receives rotation force from the whirling water stream. Then, when the washing is brought into contact with the sub-stirring body 12, rotation speed is reduced or rotation is stopped, the cloth is not rubbed strongly so that it is washed without damage.
