Abstract: A clutch assembly includes a drive shaft extending along an axial direction, and an output component, the output component defining a central opening in which the drive shaft is inserted. The clutch assembly further includes a clutch selectively coupling the output component to the drive shaft. The clutch includes a cavity defined in the output component and in communication with the central opening. The clutch further includes a bearing disposed within the cavity, the bearing movable within the cavity between a first position and a second position. The bearing is spaced from the drive shaft in the first position. The bearing contacts an inner surface of the output component defining the cavity and contacts the drive shaft to transfer rotational motion from the drive shaft to the output component in the second position.

Abstract: A wash arm assembly may include: a wash arm having a circular opening with a center, an edge, and a mounting unit having a circular insertion portion and a supporting portion. The mounting unit may be inserted at least partly in the circular opening to mount the wash arm within the dishwasher and to allow rotation of the wash arm around a rotational axis. The insertion portion may be inserted at least partly in the circular opening to form a passage between the edge and the circular insertion portion when the mounting unit is inserted at least partly in the circular opening. The wash arm may include a protrusion, and the supporting portion and the wash arm may form a chamber delimited by the passage and the protrusion when the supporting portion supports the wash arm. A dishwasher including the wash arm assembly may also be provided.
