ABSTRACT:
A tumbler-style washing machine having a tubular elongated drum adapted to be rotatable about its horizontal axis is provided with bearing-support structure for suspending and driving the drum, including a plurality of pulley-driven endless chain loops which suspend the drum from overhead rocker beam members. The rocker beam members are adapted to rock a limited distance in a vertical plane, to compensate for variations encountered during operation of the machine, such as load change, chain stretch and drum level fluctuation, etc., and a plurality of piston-cylinder units serve as buffering means for the rocker beam members. The piston-cylinder units are preferably supplied with internal fluid pressure and may be variously interconnected with each other and with specific control means to achieve an automatic support-adjusting action during operation of the washing machine.
