Abstract: A lint filter for a laundry washing machine and a laundry washing machine comprising the same. The lint-retaining filter has at least one filtering surface defining filter walls and a plurality of washing liquid intake openings, the intake openings being oriented toward at least one of the directions of rotation of the mechanical agitator. A laundry washing machine with this filter is also provided with the filter located in a mechanical agitator concentrically mounted on a washing basket of the laundry washing machine.

Abstract: A laundry washing machine agitator having a translucent area which facilitates visualization of the inner part of the agitator.

Abstract: A laundry washing machine agitator having a base and an elongated hollow body provided with at least one opening for the admission of washing liquid. The base has a plurality of radial openings located in the radial periphery of the base.

Abstract: A laundry washing machine having a washing basket that is loaded through the upper area, and an agitator located inside the washing basket. The agitator has a base, a hollow elongated body provided with at least one opening, and a filtration element located within the agitator. The agitator has a plane defined by the intersection of at least two areas of the edge of the opening to form an angle, relative to a tangential velocity vector of the rotational movement of the agitator starting from said opening, the angle being defined between 15° and 90°.

Abstract: A washing machine suspension device having a suspension shaft, a base member fixedly connected to the lower end of the suspension shaft, an elastic member located on the base member, and a support member having a central bore surrounding the suspension shaft, and a backing surface located above the base member. The support member has at least two compression members. Each compression member has a ramp that contacts the elastic member. The ramps are oriented such that a load is applied to the backing surface generates a reaction force between the support member and the elastic member to compress the compression member against the suspension shaft.

Abstract: Agitator provided with floating element with blades applied in washing machine, more particularly, it's about an agitator of the type applied in clothes washing machines, preferentially with top load, conventionally provided with a water reservoir or tank, a perforated basket with pulsing/alternated spin movement, configuring the place where the clothes are accommodated; the agitator element is from type installed at the bottom of the basket and in the center of the same, and it can be followed by an accessory, provided with vertical blades, integrated to the pulsing rotating system of the basket, the agitator includes a base sector with skirt shape configuration which surface is multi-perforated and provided with radial threads, equidistantly distributed; from the interior face of the plan is developed the tubular body that, along with the lateral wall of the skirt configures space for the assembly of a floating element with radial vertical blades dimensioned for acting at the respective radial threads; refe

Abstract: A washer fill system and method supply a suitable minimum amount of water necessary to wash a particular load of laundry based on readings taken from a pressure sensor that measures liquid pressure in the wash tub. Pressure sensor readings are taken intermittently during the fill process to determine when a sufficient amount of free water for washing the load of clothes has accumulated in the tub. This includes pressure readings taken while pulsing the washer motor to spin the wash basket. Other pressure readings may be taken during a pause in filling to measure the water run-off from the wetted clothes above the free water line, and the release of air bubbles from a load portion below the water line. Determining the sufficiency of the amount of wash liquid in the wash tub involves implementation of an algorithm with coefficients determined through regression analyzes, and may include other factors.

Abstract: A washer fill system and method supply a suitable minimum amount of water necessary to wash a particular load of laundry based on readings taken from a pressure sensor that measures liquid pressure in the wash tub. During the fill period, water is initially sprayed over the load to evenly wet the clothes. As the clothes become saturated, excess free water collects at the bottom and begins to fill the tub. Pressure sensor readings are taken intermittently during the fill process to determine when a sufficient amount of free water for washing the load of clothes has accumulated in the tub. This includes pressure readings taken while pulsing the washer motor to spin the wash basket. Other pressure readings may be taken during a pause in filling to measure the water run-off from the wetted clothes above the free water line, and the release of air bubbles from a load portion below the water line.
