Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention comprises a washing machine having multiple high velocity wate

Problems solved by technology

The continued beating results in noticeable physical wear of the articles being cleaned.
The drawback of water jet agitating machines is that the singular water jet interacts with only a small portion of the wash load at any given time, thereby failing efficiently agitate the articles.
Inefficient agitation results in inadequately cleaned articles.

Abstract

A fluid stream wash load agitating system, comprising a vertical axis washing tub, a vertical axis washing basket coaxially placed within said tub, at least one fluid output positioned to remove water from said basket during said operation, and at least one first and at least one second high velocity fluid stream inputs around said basket and positioned to substantially agitate at least a portion of said wash load during said operation.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to agitator-less washing machines and specifically to washing machines in which multiple high-pressure fluid streams agitate a wash load.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A typical vertical washing machine features a centrally oriented finned agitator that swings back and forth around a central axis so that the fins beat the washing articles in a first direction, then in a second opposite direction. The continued beating results in noticeable physical wear of the articles being cleaned.[0003]To reduce the contact between the wash load and the agitator and hence wear of the articles, one class of washing machines feature agitators that include water jets and are seen in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,420,952: 4,419,870: 4,402,198 and 4,077,239. While water jet agitators increase article movement through the wash load, they do not significantly reduce the resultant wear on the articles.[0004]Washing machines without agitators that use a water...
