  • Patent number: 5809807
    Abstract: A washing machine which can immerse articles in a washing liquid has a spin tub formed at a side wall thereof with a pair of elongated slots, and a spin tub cover assembly for immersing the articles in the washing liquid. The elongated slots are longitudinally formed along the whole length of the spin tub. The spin tub cover assembly moves along the elongated slots. The spin tub cover assembly includes an annular frame, first and second coupling pins for movably coupling the annular frame to the spin tub, and a cover plate hinged to the annular frame. The cover plate has a latch which is detachably engaged with the annular frame. The washing machine can immerse the articles into the washing liquid by means of the spin tub cover assembly, so the articles widely collide with the liquid flows within the spin tub, thereby improving the washing effect.
