Abstract: A washing machine includes: a tub configured to accommodate wash water therein; a rotary tub rotatably mounted in the tub; a pulsator rotatably arranged below the rotary tub, configured to form a water current; a motor configured to provide driving power to the pulsator; and a floater configured to ascend or descend in response to a water level of the wash water in such a manner that the pulsator and the rotary tub interact with each other or the interaction therebetween is released. The pulsator includes a reinforcement rib protruding from a bottom surface of the pulsator to reinforce stiffness. The floater is connected to the reinforcement rib in a manner that the floater ascends or descends along the reinforcement rib. The washing machine can alternatively transmit the driving power of the motor only to the pulsator or to the pulsator and the rotary tub.

Abstract: A washing machine may include a static wash tub, a rotatable vertical axis wash basket in the static wash tub, and a drive motor for rotating the wash basket. A closure may direct wash liquid from the wash basket to a catch basin. A flange may be attached to the closure so that an unattached edge ends within the catch basin. The unattached edge may end below the surface of a first volume of wash liquid to minimize migration of wash liquid and/or vapor from the washing machine. The unattached edge may end above the surface of a second volume of wash liquid less than the first volume to minimize agitation of wash liquid in the catch basin.

Abstract: A washing machine capable of generating and supplying bubbles to laundry during washing and rinsing operations to facilitate removal of detergent and foreign substances from the laundry. A dissolving unit can receive a water supply and contain a volume of air. The dissolving unit provides a water flow path that allows the contained air to dissolve efficiently in the water, thereby providing a water/air mixture to a bubble generating unit. Dissolved air can separate from the water/air mixture in the bubble generating unit and form bubbles, e.g., due to pressure reduction. The bubbles are then supplied to the tub containing the laundry.

Abstract: A single action agitation element for a washing machine appliance is provided. The agitation element includes a shaft, a first fin, and a second fin. The first fin and second fin each extend outwardly from the shaft and around the shaft. The first fin extends generally in a first fin plane defining an angle greater than zero with a reference plane of the shaft. By contrast, the second fin extends generally in a second fin plane defining an angle less than zero with the reference plane of the shaft. Such a configuration may more efficiently move clothes or other articles within a wash basket of the washing machine appliance downwardly along a vertical direction during certain washing machine operations.

Abstract: A laundry machine and a washing process allow the storage of water from prior washes, in order to minimize the consumption of water destined for laundry washing. According to an embodiment, the laundry machine includes an impeller (201); a wash tub (202); a mechanical and/or electric drive element of the impeller and of the tub; and at least a tank (203) encircling the wash tub. There is additionally a reservoir (300) in fluid communication (250) with the tank and disposed below the tank and the wash tub and encircling, at least partially, the mechanical and/or electric drive element of the impeller and the tub.

Abstract: A washing machine capable of reducing power consumption comprising: a substantially bottomed cylindrical washing tank; a rotary wing rotatably and freely arranged at a bottom of the washing tank; and a driving unit for rotatably driving the rotary wing by being powered by electricity. The rotary wing is formed in a disc shape and centered on a rotary axis (Ra), and a plurality of stirring blades radially extending towards an outer circumference are arranged on a surface of the rotary wing. A center (Cw) of these stirring blades is set at a position more misplaced towards an outer diameter direction than the rotary axis (Ra), and a protrusion part more protruded towards an axial direction of the rotary axis (Ra) than the stirring blades is arranged at the center (Cw) of the plurality of stirring blades.
