Benefits of technology

This patent describes a washing machine that has a special weave pattern to help remove dirt. The machine has two chambers with a drum in each chamber. An agitator is inside the drum and spins around a separate shaft. The motor drives both the drum and the agitator to rotate in opposite directions. The technical effect is that the machine can effectively remove dirt by using two rotating components that work together in opposite ways.

Problems solved by technology

While improving the cleaning performance, these devices were complex and too expensive to manufacture.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]Referring to the FIGURE, a washing machine 10 has a top wall 12, a bottom wall 14, side walls 16, a back wall 18, and a front wall 20 that form a cabinet or housing 22. Hingedly mounted to the front wall 20 is a door 24. Disposed within the cabinet 22 is a back plate 26 that separates the cabinet 22 into a first chamber 28, and a second chamber 30.

[0008]Disposed within the first chamber 28 is a rotating drum 32 that is mounted to a first axle 34 that extends through an opening in the back plate 26. The drum 32 has a back wall 36, a side wall 38 and an open front 40 that aligns with and is in communication with the door 24. Preferably, the drum 32 is angled downwardly from the open front 40 toward the back wall 36 to cause clothing to fall toward the back wall 36 of the drum 32.

[0009]Disposed within the drum 32 and rotatably mounted to a second axle 42 that extends through an opening in the back plate 26 is an agitator 44. The agitator 44 is of any size and shape and preferably...

Abstract

A washing machine is presented. The washing machine is designed to open up the weave pattern that allows dirt to be removed. The washing machine comprises a cabinet having a back plate that separate the housing into a first chamber and second chamber. A drum is disposed within the first chamber and rotatably mounted to a first axle that extend through the back plate. Disposed within the drum is an agitator that is rotatably mounted to a second axle that also extends through the back plate. At least motor is connected to the first and second axle and in operation the drum and agitator rotate in opposite directions.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 871,918 filed Aug. 30, 2013.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is directed to a washing machine and more particularly to a front load washing machine with an agitator.[0003]Washing machines are well known in the art. While washing machines exist, the most effective way to clean clothing remains hand washing. The reason is that the process of hand washing creates sufficient agitation of the fabric to open up the weave pattern that allows dirt to be removed.[0004]Attempts have been made to create agitation in the wash process to improve the cleaning performance of the washing machines. While improving the cleaning performance, these devices were complex and too expensive to manufacture. Therefore, a need exists in the art for a washing machine that addresses these deficiencies.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]A washing machine is presented. The washin...
