Abstract: A method and apparatus for balancing of out-of-balance forces in centrifuges or combined washing machines-spin driers comprising a drum with horizontal rotation axis initially being brought to a relatively low speed of rotation, which is at least of the magnitude such that all laundry clings to the drum wall. At this rotation speed the out-of-balance force is measured and compared with a set value. This set value is selected to be of such size that its out-of-balance force surpasses the permissible out-of-balance force, projected to the final rotary spinning speed, by at least 30 percent. If such a value surpassing the permissible out-of-balance force was measured as a value disposed below the set value, then the acceleration to the final rotary spinning speed is turned on.

Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure and a mechanism for washing textiles in a tub-type washing machine with a horizontally arranged tub, in which during the washing and rinsing cycles the tub is driven with a rotational velocity at which the centrifugal velocity at the tub case is between 0.4 and 0.95 g, so that the textiles are repeatedly lifted up, and then fall in a trajectory onto the lower portion of the tub, and that between the washing and rinsing cycles and after the last rinsing cycle the tub is driven at spin speed, and in which the washing or rinsing liquid is led into the suds container and is supplied to the textiles by immersing the tub in the liquid or by at least one spray nozzle spraying into the tub continuously or at intervals.

Abstract: The specification describes a procedure for the washing of clothes in a washing machine with a horizontal, perforated, driven tub arranged inside a housing, in which during the washing and rinsing cycles the clothes are repeatedly lifted up, and then fall in a trajectory onto the lower portion of the tub, and are then distributed and pressed against the tub wall, largely without unbalance, as the tub velocity is gradually increased, and are then centrifuged as the velocity is increased further.
