摘要:
The present invention provides a method of controlling a washing course in a washing machine, by which a drive motor for rotating a drum is prevented from being overloaded according to a laundry amount and by which a drum can be smoothly rotated without unnecessary power consumption provided to a motor. In a washing machine having a motor for rotating a drum in a first direction, the present invention includes the steps of driving the motor to rotate the drum at a prescribed angle in the first direction, stopping driving the motor so that the drum is rotated by a gravitational force of a laundry within the drum in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and rotating the drum in the first direction again by driving the motor while the drum is rotated in the first direction switched from the first direction by the gravitational force of the laundry.

A MOUNTING BRACKET COMPRISING A PAIR OF ARMS BIASED APART EXTENDING OUTWARDLY FROM THE STRUCTURE TO BE MOUNTED. THE BRACKET FURTHER INCLUDES A FIRST TAB AFFIXED TO EACH OF THE ARMS EXTENDING GENERALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE ASSOCIATED ARM AND A TIP PORTION AFFIXED TO EACH OF THE TABS SPACED APART FROM THE ARM AND EXTENDING GENERALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE TAB TOWARD THE STRUCTURE. THE BRACKET IS ADAPTED TO BE USED WITH A WALL MEMBER PROVIDED WITH TWO PAIRS OF SPACED APART APERTURES. THE FIRST PAIR OF APERTURES IF SPACED APART A DISTANCE SOMEWHAT LESS THAN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ARMS AND THE SECOND PAIR OF APERTURES IS SPACED APART A DISTANCE SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TIPS.

Appliances configured to detect leaks and methods of detecting leaks are provided. The appliance includes a grounded chassis. The appliance also includes a first levelling leg electrically coupled to the chassis and a second levelling leg electrically isolated from the chassis. The appliance also includes a controller in operative communication with the second levelling leg and the chassis. The controller is configured for, and related methods include, monitoring electrical continuity between the second levelling leg and the chassis and detecting water on the base surface in response to electrical continuity between the second levelling leg and the chassis.

A reversible drum for a laundry handling machine is described wherein the drum motor drives a timer, eliminating the use of two motors. The timer includes a bistate device driven by the motor and controlling its sense of rotation.
摘要:
A system for controlling a plurality of washing machines in a laundry facility which share a common resource. A plurality of autonomously operated washing machines are connected through a network, so that a slave controller of each washing machine may be controlled by a master controller of the network. The master controller issues periodic polling commands over the network to obtain status information from each of the washing machines. Each slave controller of the washing machine can be prohibited from proceeding through a washing cycle when a common resource used by all machines has reached capacity limits.

A front-loading type clothes washing machine comprises a washing tub, a drum which is rotatable within said washing tub about a horizontal or inclined center of rotation and capable of containing the items to be washed, a door assembly for closing the tub and an annular bellow-type gasket interposed between the door assembly and the washing tub. The washing machine further comprises a safety device having a sensor disposed in the zone of the annular gasket and adapted to detect when at least an item of laundry is present in said zone, in order to prevent any possible damage to such item of laundry.

An apparatus for the roller drive mechanism of a clothes washer which will delay spin tub rotation until a selected quantity of water has been pumped out of the tub. The spin delay apparatus includes a diaphragm movable in response to the water head in the tub. The diaphragm is operably connected to one end of an actuator lever arm which arm extends past its pivot for connection to an idler roller normally located between the drive and driven rollers in the drive mechanism. At the start of the spin cycle the actuator arm pivots the idler roller away from the drive roller until the water head indicates that the water has been pumped out of the tube to a predetermined level to obviate lint in the wash water from being left on the clothes.
