PCT No. PCT/JP93/03116 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 6, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 6, 1995 PCT Filed Nov. 8, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/11561 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1994A washing machine has at least one drum arranged to rotate about a spindle and bearings to absorb the axial and radial forces occurring when the drum is rotated. At least part of the bearings has a swivel with at least one roller and a tipping system to give a tipping movement transverse to the axis about which the swivel turns, or the swivel has an additional roller. The axis of rotation of the additional roller is transverse to that of the other roller of the swivel. Additional forces caused by wobbling of the washing machine drum during its movement are safely and easily absorbed so that the useful life of the bearing system is substantially increased. Time-consuming and costly maintenance work is unnecessary.
