Abstract: The disclosure provides a washing machine and method for controlling the same. An embodiment of the washing machine includes an auxiliary washing unit placed below a door arranged on top of a main body; an input unit for receiving instructions to start and stop auxiliary washing; and a water supply unit for supplying water to the auxiliary washing unit if the instruction to start water supply is input, and stopping supplying water to the auxiliary washing unit if the instruction to stop water supply is input.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coupling system intended more specifically to the fitting and attaching of additional and removable internal baskets defining isolated washing rooms in clothes washing machines. Such a system is intended more particularly to clothes washing machines (1) comprising a cabinet (2) within which it is located a fixed tank (3) with which cooperate a washing basket (4), a balancing device (5), a removable washing compartment (6) and an stirrer element (7), characterized by the fact that the balancing device (5) comprises at least one surface comprising a plurality of coupling members (51) and the removable washing compartment (6) cooperates with the balancing device (5), wherein said removable washing compartment (6) comprises at least one surface comprising a plurality of coupling elements (61) cooperating with the elements coupling (51) of the balancing device (5).

Abstract: A washing machine containing a tub and basket placed within the tub, a basket bottom, a driving shaft coupled to the basket, a motor coupled to the driving shaft, a propeller located within the bottom and impelled by an end of the driving shaft, the propeller containing a scrubber, a center and a support, the scrubbers have a transversal section made from at least three arch circumference sections; a lower face of the propeller has a fin, which along with the bottom, functions as a centrifugal pump creating a current or washing liquor flow which is led through the water tower. In a preferred embodiment, the driving shaft has a solar gear coupled thereto which rotates a satellite gear and over the upper face of the support and between the scrubbers a mini-propeller is provided, the satellite gear is coupled to an axis that rotates the mini-propeller.

Abstract: A rotary speed control that is dependent on the instantaneous position of the entrainment members in the rotating drum affords a further degree of freedom in terms of introducing mechanical energy into the laundry that is being moved in the interior of the washing drum. By way of the intensity or duration of the washing operation, this permits additional optimization of the washing result, insofar as the interaction between the washing drum and the laundry now definedly varies over the rotation of the drum topography or the instantaneous drum movement can be adapted to the current condition of interaction between the entrainment member and the laundry.

Abstract: An ink jet recording device 10 includes a plurality of head modules 210 each formed with a plurality of nozzles for forming dots on a recording sheet 100. When the assembly of the head modules 210 has any positional error, recorded dots will shift to undesirable positions. However, the ink jet recording device 10 of the present invention adjust the dot forming positions to desirable positions in an electrical manner without actually and mechanically moving the head modules 210, both in directions perpendicular to and parallel with a nozzle line.

Abstract: A washboard attachment for pre-laundering a garment is adapted for use with a top loading automatic laundry machine with an upwardly directed rotor and a basin. The attachment has means which fit over the rotor and a ribbed portion which spans the basin to support legs which stand on the basin's rim. The support legs are of a length so as to cause the washboard attachment to be downwardly directed toward the basin. The attachment has curved sides to contain incidental washwater and direct it to the basin.
