Abstract

918,480. Washing-machines. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION. Nov. 3, 1961 [Nov. 4, 1960]; No. 39531/61. Class 138 (2). [Also in Group XIII] A washing-machine comprises a rotary drum 14 mounted in a housing 13 having a sump 38 therein, means arranged to control the level of liquid in the sump 38, and means controlled by the liquid level control means for discharging a portion of the liquid contents of the sump 38 to balancing pockets 22a on the periphery of the drum 14 during high-speed rotation. The liquid level control means comprises a closed end baffle 39 mounted in the sump 38 whereby liquid from the sump compresses air trapped in the baffle 39 when the liquid level in the sump rises, and pressure sensing means 42, 43 responsive to this air pressure. The liquid may be discharged, either through a spray 17 into the drum 14, or through a nozzle 22 into the balancing pockets 22a, by means of a two-way valve 19. The liquid may be discharged from the sump, either to the valve 19, or to a drain 29, by means of a second two-way valve 28. The valves 19, 28 are controlled electrically by solenoids 81, 86 respectively. The machine has two different spinning speeds controlled by two clutch solenoids which are electrically controlled by a timer motor (not shown).
