摘要： An agitator for a clothes washer having radially extending vanes and a slide member between the vanes. Vanes extend from the barrel portion of the agitator toward the outer perimeter of the skirt. The vanes have a base toward the barrel and a tip toward the outer perimeter of the skirt. The vanes have a right and a left side with each side having multiple planar faces for maximizing tip deflection. The pivot point, or connection point, of the base to the agitator has been lowered by connecting it to the center ring area of the skirt. Thus, vane breakage is reduced without decreasing washability. Slide members having a downward slope extend from the agitator barrel to the skirt at a slope less steep than the center ring area, but more steep than the slope of the skirt. These members move clothes from the barrel outward toward the perimeter of the skirt.

摘要翻译： 一种用于洗衣机的搅拌器，其具有径向延伸的叶片和在叶片之间的滑动构件。 叶片从搅拌器的桶部分朝向裙部的外周延伸。 叶片具有朝向筒体的基部和朝向裙部的外周边的尖端。 叶片具有右侧和左侧，每侧具有多个平面，用于使尖端偏转最大化。 通过将底座与搅拌器的枢转点或连接点连接到裙部的中心环区域已经降低了。 因此，叶片断裂减少而不降低可洗性。 具有向下倾斜的滑动构件以比中心环区域更陡峭的斜率从搅拌筒延伸到裙部，但比裙部的坡度更陡峭。 这些构件将衣物从桶向外移动到裙边的周边。
