A washing machine is disclosed and includes a drum (35) for receiving laundry and counterbalance means (34) arranged to move along an outer wall (37) of a channel (32) during rotation of the drum (35) towards a counterbalancing position in response to an imbalance caused by uneven distribution of the laundry. The wall (37) is configured such that the counterbalance means (34) ascends the wall (37) when the drum (35) reaches a prescribed rotational speed. In another embodiment two channels (42a,42b) are provided, each channel (42a,42b) being configured such that the axis of rotation of the counterbalance means (44a,44b) is inclined at an angle with respect to the axis of rotation of the drum (35). <IMAGE> |
