Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a clutch/coupler floating member positioned between basket and stirrer and provides selective and automatic coupling therebetween according to the phase of the washing cycle. At least one coupler cooperates pivotally and simultaneously with the moving basket and the stirrer. The coupler comprises a stem rotatably hinged to a pivot which cooperates with the basket and is disposed orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the stirrer, wherein a rod end of the coupler cooperates with at least one first coupling member and the other end of the rod cooperates with at least one floating body. The basket comprises at least one housing cooperating with the floating body of the coupler. The stirrer comprises a coupling cooperating with the first coupling member of the coupler.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a laundry appliance equipment having a clutch/coupler floating member positioned between basket and stirrer. This invention is primarily aimed at providing selective coupling between said components according to the phase of the washing cycle, being said coupled performed automatically. For this purpose, said system said system includes at least one coupler cooperating pivotally and simultaneously with the moving basket and the stirrer, said coupler including a stem rotatably hinged to a pivot which cooperates with the basket and is disposed orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the stirrer, wherein a rod end of the coupler cooperates with at least one first coupling member and the other end of the rod cooperates with at least one floating body; the basket includes at least one housing cooperating with the floating body of the coupler; and the stirrer includes a coupling means cooperating with the first coupling member of the coupler.
