ABSTRACT:
A washing machine includes a water tub, a spin basket mounted inside the water tub, and a pulsator mounted in the spin basket. A drive transmission includes a hollow dehydrating shaft and a laundering shaft disposed coaxially therein. The hollow dehydrating shaft is connected to the spin basket, and the laundering shaft is connected to the pulsator. A connecting gear is mounted on the dehydrating shaft for vertical movement therealong. In an upper position, the connecting gear meshes with fixed teeth to prevent the spin basket from rotating. In a lower position, the connecting gear causes the laundering shaft and dehydrating shaft to be interconnected for common rotation. The connecting gear is rotatable slightly relative to the laundering shaft to accommodate meshing of gear teeth in response to upper and lower movement of the connecting gear. Springs are provided which act between the dehydrating shaft and the connecting gear and which are yieldable to permit the slight rotation of the connecting gear.
