WATER DIVERTER FOR SPINNING BASKET OF AUTOMATIC WASHER

摘要

A liquid diverter is provided in an automatic washer to cause a spray of liquid to impact on the side wall of the tub above a top level of perforations of the basket to assure that any suds or other extraneous matter is rinsed from the tub wall at such an elevation and is not allowed to remain there after a given wash cycle. The diverter is in the form of a ring which is carried on and rotates with the wash basket and includes a plurality of downwardly depending rib pairs which support therebetween a liquid intercepting wall and a inclined channel. The inclined channel directs the liquid upwardly when the basket is spinning so that the diverted liquid will impact against a higher elevation of the tub wall.
