  • inlet valve 20 is again opened to provide rinse water through the detergent dispenser 24 to rinse remaining detergent therefrom and from there into the tank 19 and thus into the rotating drum It).
  • This rinse water passes through the clothes or fabric within the rotating drum 16, through sump 31 by way of the open energized valve 32, through the trap 33 and through liquid lines 34 and 16 to the pump where it is exhausted through the outlet drain line 17.
  • the inlet valve 26 is closed and the suction blower 35 is operated at high speed such as 18,500 rpm. to create high air flow through the washer-dryer apparatus.
  • the high air flow through the fluid system continues until such time as clothes within the drum 1% fall to a point on the drum periphery covering the perforations communicating the drum with the suction nozzle 40. This in effect seals or blocks the fluid flow path for air through the system.
  • a high vacuum is created in that portion of the fluid fiow path between the nozzle and the suction blower 35, due to the rapid evacuation of air therein by suction blower 35.
  • This high vacuum extracts Water from the clothes in the rotating perforated drum 1a with this extracted water passing through the perforated drum and through the nozzle 40 into the suds trap 39.
  • the moisture and air pass to the separator 37 where non-vapor material such as Water and lint is separated from the air which then returns to the blower 35 by way of the inlet passage 36.

  • the nozzle 40 is made of a rigid plastic material having a relatively low coefiicient of friction, such as nylon.
  • the nozzle extends through an opening 49 in the tank 19 and is mounted for movement toward and away from the periphery 11 on a flexible bellows 50 of rubber or the like.
  • the nozzle 40 is urged or biased toward the drum periphery 11 when in contact therewith by a yieldable biasing means which is here shown as an over center leaf spring 51 having its ends held in brackets 52 and 53 mounted on the tank 19.
  • a yieldable biasing means which is here shown as an over center leaf spring 51 having its ends held in brackets 52 and 53 mounted on the tank 19.
  • the yieldable leaf spring 51 biases the nozzle 44! against the periphery 11 of drum It Means are provided for moving the nozzle away from the periphery to the dotted line position when an object is encountered projecting from the periphery of the drum 10 such as the nail 54.
  • this means is embodied in a cam or ramp-like surface portion on the leading edge of the nozzle 40 or the edge that would first encounter the nail 54.
  • the cam surface 45 it forces the nozzle 40 away from the periphery 11.
  • the ramp-like surface portion 55 provides a means for gradually camming the nozzle away from the drum, which avoids sudden shocks to the apparatus.
  • certain foreign objects will be urged back into the drum by the cam surface. This is particularly the case when the object is projecting through the periphery of the drum for only a short distance.
  • this spring snaps the nozzle 40 away from the periphery 11 and retains it there in the position indicated by the broken lines.
  • the drum can then be stopped and the object 54 removed. If desired, the stopping of the drum may be done automatically as by a limit switch of the type shown at 56 in the embodiment of FIGURE 3 to stop the operation of the motor 12.
  • limit switch 56 may be placed in the motor circuit by sequential control 45. The switch is placed in series with the motor and when actuated breaks the circuit to the motor. This relationship is shown diagrammatically in FIGURE 3.
  • the nozzle at is of similar construction to that of the embodiment of FIGURE 2 and is biased against the drum periphery 11 by means of a generally 'U-shaped wire spring 58 having one end engaging the nozzle 41 and the base end retained in a bracket 59.

Damage to the equipment is prevented by providing automatic means for moving the nozzle away from the drum on engagement of the nozzle with an object projecting from the drum.
  • the normal position of the nozzle is against the drum.
  • the normal position of the nozzle is out of engagement with the drum 'and is only brought into engagement therewith during fluid extracting portions of the operating cycle. This provides adequate air flow for complete gas consumption in gas combination washer-dryers and also reduces frictional wear on the nozzle as well as on the drum itself as unnecessary engagement of the drum and nozzle is prevented. It also provides adequate air flow for cooling the apparatus and reduces drag which adds to power consumption.
