ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device for adding and/or removing fluid media in a rotatable drum, such as a rotating washing machine drum, comprising a pair of flanges attached to the outer periphery of the drum and spaced apart to define an annular space extending around the drum, an elastically yielding sealing member attached to each flange and extending inwardly into the annular space where their sealing lips abut to form a seal in a generally radially extending sealing plane, fluid passageways extending through the wall of the drum in the region between the flanges, and means positioned in the sealing plane for spreading the sealing lips apart, preferably a flat tapered conduit or one or more tapered disks. In another embodiment a sealing device is disclosed having only one flange and one elastically yielding sealing member in association with an annular plate fixed to a partition wall through which the drum extends.
