A washing machine, with an inner tub designed to be linearly reciprocable along its vertical axis in addition to being rotatable on the vertical axis during the washing or rinsing process, is disclosed. In the washing machine, a washing tub is suspended within a cabinet forming the profile of the washing machine and having an openable cover at its top end. The washing tub consists of an outer tub suspended within the cabinet and containing water therein, and a perforated inner tub set within the outer tub. This inner tub contains laundries therein, and washes or rinses the laundries during the washing or rinsing process. A drive unit is mounted to the bottom of the outer tub, and rotates and vertically reciprocates the inner tub within a predetermined stroke. The washing machine of this invention thus forms vertical moving currents of water in addition to active swirling currents of water within the inner tub, and prevents laundries from being twisted during the washing or rinsing process. The washing machine is also improved in its rinsing and detergent dissolving performance, and is improved in its overall laundering effect. |
