ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a machine for handling laundry such as for instance a washing, rinsing or drying machine. The machine structure according to the invention is particularly suitable for small portable washing machines of the type employing a rotating drum. The drum is provided with a toothed ring or a friction drive band mounted on the periphery of the drum. An electric motor having a pinion or friction drive wheel positioned to engage the toothed ring or friction drive band on the drum is mounted inside the top cover of the machine together with the motor control unit. With this mounting arrangement the drive member and control unit are readily accessible for adjustment and maintenance from the top of the machine. Moreover, the chance of splashing or leakage water reaching the driving means is considerably smaller than in machines wherein these means are for instance arranged below the drum.
