Definitions

  • This invention relates to power rinse clothes washers and particularly to clothes washers in which rinse water is introduced between an outer stationary tub and an inner rotatable tub at the time the wash water is removed to break down the suds which are formed in the washing operation and which collect between the two tubs.
  • I provide a structure which eliminates these problems.
  • means are provided which break down the suds and aid in accelerating the spin cycle of the tub so that complete extraction of wash water and suds from the machine can occur.
  • I provide a frame, an outer tub in said frame, an inner perforate rotatable tub in said frame, a reciprocable agitator in said rotatable tub, means for selectively reciprocating said agitator and for rotating said perforate tub, means for introducing water into the area between said outer tub, and said perforate tub during at least a part of the rotation of said perforate tub and means for removing water from said tubs.
  • the means for introducing water into said area between said tubs is directional and the water is introduced in the direction of rotation of the inner per forate tub and against said perforate tub.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view, partly broken away of a clothes washing machine according to my invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view, partly broken away of a washer according to FIG. 1.
  • l have illustrated a washing machine frame 10, an outer collector tub I 1 in said frame, a concentric perforate inner rotatable tub 12, an axial reciprocable agitator l3 concentric with both inner and outer tubs l2 and 13.
  • the inner tub l2 and agitator 13 are selectively driven through a gear and clutch arrangement 14 and motor 15 mounted on frame 10.
  • the gear and clutch arrangement 14 and motor drive may be that illustrated in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,215,232 or any other suitable drive arrangement.
  • a pump 16 having an inlet connected to outer tub I 1 and an outlet to discharge to a suitable drain is provided on the frame.
  • a water inlet line 18 connects the head 17 to a source of water 19 through a vacuum breaker 20.
  • the machine of my invention proceeds through the usual wash cycle with the agitator reciprocating and both tubs 11 and 12 stationary as described in my US. Pat. No. 3,215,232.
  • the motor 15 reverses, the agitator stops, the inner tub 12 starts to rotate and the pump 16 discharges water from the tubs l1 and 12.
  • water is sprayed through head 17 between tubs 11 and 12 and tangentially against tub 12. This breaks down the suds between the two tubs and assists the inner tub in its centrifugal motion, thus eliminating the problem of suds stalling or retarding of the rotation of the inner tub and also the problem of suds retention.
  • a clothes washing machine comprising a frame, an outer tub mounted in said frame, an inner perforate tub concentric with said outer tub and rotatable therein, an agitator reciprocable in said inner tub, means for selectively reciprocating said agitator and rotating said inner tub, means for introducing water tangentially of the inner periphery of the outer tub into the area between said inner and outer tubs when said inner tub begins its rotation and means on the frame connected to the outer tub removing water from said tubs.
  • a washing machine as claimed in claim 1 wherein the means for introducing water into the area between the inner and outer tubs is a spray head in the outer tub directed tangentially against the inner tub.
