Clothes washer having a suds-removal system

摘要

A clothes washing machine includes inner and outer tubs. Wash water is supplied from a fresh water source to the outer tub. Following a washing cycle, fresh water is directed into the inner tub to eliminate soap suds therefrom and thereby increase the effectiveness of a subsequent rinsing cycle. The suds-eliminating water is introduced into the inner tub from an apertured ring extending around an upper edge of the inner tub. The ring can also direct fresh water into a space formed between the inner and outer tubs to further promote the removal of suds.
