Abstract: A tub ring for a washing machine is disclosed. The tub ring includes a generally circular outer wall, a generally circular and concentric inner wall opposite the outer wall and a circular surface between and generally perpendicular to the outer wall and the inner wall. The outer wall, inner wall and circular surface cooperate to define a channel. A water outlet protrudes through the outer wall to deliver water from a water source to the channel. The water outlet is angled such that a water stream is directed around the tub ring before the water falls into the tub. In this way, the water is more evenly distributed around the tub.

Abstract: A coin handling assembly includes a coin vault loaded completely within an appliance cabinet. The coin vault is positioned to receive coins from the coin drop and a locking member is movable from a closed position keeping coins within the coin vault to an open position permitting the coins to drop by gravity to the outside of the cabinet walls.
