Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a washing machine in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The outer tub 1 in FIG. 1 contains a washing drum 2 supported about a horizontal axis 3 and having agitators 4 for the laundry 7. The agitators 4 have scoops that scoop washing liquid 6 from the bottom of the outer tub 1 during rotation of the washing drum 2 in the direction or arrow 16 from a level NV, which is above the lowest point of the washing drum 2, raise it to a level above the laundry 7 and spray it down onto the laundry 7. This accelerates the wetting and flow through the laundry 7. An electric motor 14 rotates the washing drum 2using a belt drive.

[0028]A heater 13 at the base of the outer tub 1 heats the washing liquid 6. This washing liquid 6 is introduced into the outer tub 1 through valves 8 or 9. Two chambers 111 and 112 are shown in the detergent dispenser 11, through which fresh water flows respectively when the assigned valve 8 or 9 is opened....

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention is related to a washing machine. In particular, this invention is related to a washing machine with an ultraviolet protection cycle.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Protecting individuals from sunlight is important due to the harmful effects of sunlight on the skin and subcutaneous tissues. These effects may be experienced during, immediately after, and after prolonged and / or repeated exposure. Immediate exposure may cause reddening and a painful sunburn. Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and a loss of elastic quality.[0005]Medically, sunlight is a contributing factor to the development of diseases such as melanoma, squamous cell, and basal cell carcinomas. A common type of long term damage is basal cell carcinoma which, although seldom fatal, can be disfiguring and requires medical attention. Another somewhat less common disease resulting from sun exposure is squamous cell c...
