Spiral gyrator for washing machines - Patent 4391107 (1553 words)
While the gyrator is operated in a normal direction of rotation and wash at its base is being driven outwardly by the spiral surface and the jets, the spiral on the lower portion of the post drives the wash downwardly to the vicinity of the base.
While the gyrator is operated in the reverse direction to cause an upward flow in the center of the tub, the upper spiral on the post tends to force the wash downwardly and thereby prevents materials that are being washed from being pushed over the top of the post.
Even when the gyrator is operated in the direction for causing downward flow in the center of the tub, the reverse upper spiral is required in washing machines in which the direction of rotation of an electric motor is reversed to change from a washing cycle to a spinning cycle.
