<p>A washing-machine of reduced size, particularly such as to have an overall width of 40-45 cm while maintaining a load capacity of at least 5 Kg like the commonly known washing-machines being 60 cm wide, has its loading door (19) on one (17) of the two narrow vertical sides. In association therewith the inlet openings (19) to the washing tank (2) and drum (3) are formed at the peripheral skirt of the respective cylindrical containers, as the access (21) to the drum (3) can be closed in a known manner, such as by a snap door. This construction is obtained by providing the drum (3) with a rotating shaft which is mounted at both ends on bearings (20, 20') connected to the tank side walls, so as to be parallel to the front, accessible portion (17) of the machine. Therefore the washing-machine, by means of few arrangements and negligible modifications of the moulds, may be provided either of the front or of the top-loading type, as a "free-standing" model or of the built-in type.</p> |
