WASHING MACHINE TUB CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A top loading clothes washing machine has a resiliently mounted outer tub within which is a spin tub mounted for rotation about a vertical axis. At its upper end, the spin tub has a weighted balance ring releasably mounted on the inner side of the spin tub and extending toward the central axis to serve as a clothes guard. The balance ring is formed of a concrete aggregate material and is completely covered with a plastic material. The outer tub has a top cap with a spray tube on the underside extending around the periphery of the top cap and the tube has discharge openings directed into a spray channel which breaks up the stream of water and directs it downwardly onto the clothes within the spin tub.
