ABSTRACT:
An agitator assembly includes an agitator body and an auger body mounted on the upper end of the agitator body. There are at least three separate helical flighting segments on the auger body. Bearings are provided at the upper end of the auger body and at the lower end of the auger body. At least one of the bearings limits both radial and axial movement of the auger relative to the agitator whereas the other of the bearings limits only radial movement of the auger relative to the body. Inlet openings are provided adjacent the lower surfaces of the auger flightings permit fluid to enter the interior of the auger barrel. An elastomeric ring is provided for attaching a fabric softener dispenser to the agitator assembly and for permitting grasping and removal of the dispenser.
