Abstract: A washing machine with a wobbling unit including a washing plate which wobbles in a vertical direction without rotating, thus washing laundry. The wobbling unit further includes a vertical rotating shaft rotating by a washing shaft and an inclined rotating shaft provided at a predetermined position above the vertical rotating shaft. A first rotary member allows the vertical rotating shaft to rotate along with the inclined rotating shaft. A second rotary member rotatably receives the inclined rotating shaft therein. The wobbling unit also includes a projecting pin, a wobbling pin, and a leveling pin to control positions of the first and second rotary members. A position of the washing plate is changed to a level position or a wobbling position by an operation of the pins. Further, a clutch is mounted to the second rotary member so that the position of the washing plate is securely changed to a desired position.

Abstract: Dying or bleaching apparatus for yarn wound on reels or similar packages, comprising a plurality of small vertical dying boilers (15) arranged on a single circumference each suitable for receiving a mobile reel holder shaft (13) which can be removed at the same time as the others for the subsequent centrifugal water draining and drying operations, operating with less liquid and also capable of being used with fractional capacities with a constant soaking ratio.

Abstract: A large scale cleaning plug (L) adaptable to be placed within an interior passageway (10) of a tubular system (14) includes a frame structure (208) with a first and second end (202 and 204) supporting an outer skin member (200) for directing a fluid (F) through an interior passageway formed in the skeletal frame structure (208). A middle section (300) of the frame (208) has a generally frustoconical shaped bottom (302). A rigging (236) connected to the frame (208) controllably secures the frame structure (208) in desired positions. The frame's second end (204) supports at least one nozzle assembly (220) having at least one nozzle body (222) extending from a plate (226) preventing appreciable fluid flow therethrough and permitting a desired fluid flow through an exit opening (223) of the nozzle bodies (222).

Abstract: A washing machine control method accurately determines an amount of laundry in the washing machine, while driving a motor coupled to a drum under load, based on a computed average of pulse width modulation values at the time of stopping the drive of a motor and the motor's rotational angle as the motor freewheels to a stop, in order to conserve water and reduce the time required for performing a washing step.

Abstract: Paddles are fastened on an inside of a drum casing by fastening elements. The paddles contain a hollow body, which is open in the direction of the drum casing and has a cross-sectional surface area similar to a triangle, and stiffening structures on the insides of its flanks. For secure and permanently stable fastening, in the region of at least some of the structures, strip-shaped installation parts are connected in a form-fitting manner, by way of a section located essentially parallel to the surface of the drum casing, to the inside of the flanks. Moreover, the sections have at least two fastening elements by which the paddle is fastened on the drum casing.

Abstract: A dishwasher comprises a circulating pump, a washing tank provided with a substantially horizontal fine-mesh filter disposed in the path of the flow of water drawn in by the circulating pump, and spray means capable of directing downwardly at least one rotating water jet for filter cleaning purposes. Such fine-mesh filter presents an area below a circular pattern of the downwardly directed jet having a percentage of open area lower than the other portions of the filter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detergent supplying apparatus in a washer which includes a cabinet (1), a drum (4) rotatably provided in the cabinet and a tub (3) fixed outside the drum (4).

Abstract: An improved pot and pan washing machine is provided including a low suction intake manifold and a partition for capturing a substantial portion of the wash action of the washing machine within a segregated area. The intake manifold of the instant invention includes a plurality of voids having a void concentration that increases as the distance from the source of suction (such as a pump or intake inlet) increases. The partition (or divider) of the instant invention can be removed and repositioned within the wash tank through the use of channels along the walls of the wash tank that receive the partition.
