ABSTRACT:
A simplified arrangement for alternately operating an agitator and a spinning clothes container in a laundry machine. A container driving member and an agitator driving gear are both mounted rotatably and reciprocably on the agitator shaft, and a shifter selectively effects concurrent driving clutching engagement between the container and the container driving member and declutching of the gear from the shaft, and alternatively the shifter controls the container driving member to declutch from the clothes container and concurrently controls the driving gear to enter into clutching driving relation to the agitator shaft. Improvements in mechanism include the shifter assembly, an anti-clash device for the gear clutch, an inertial spring clutch for the container driving member, an agitator spin drive snap ring and spring clutch, and load sensitive brake and clutch means for the clothes container.
