ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a dispenser for liquid additives for use in an automatic clothes washer, particularly of the type having an upright agitator with hollow tubular internal portions. The dispenser structure is adapted to be mounted wholly within the hollow agitator interior, and comprises two separate but interconnected stages which are coordinated to complete dispensing operation only after predetermined amounts of agitator rotation at or above a predetermined spin velocity. The first stage of the dispenser apparatus is preferably of the centrifugal type, including a rotating cup which expels the liquid additive by the effects of centrifugal force, and the second stage, which receives the liquid expelled from the first stage, is preferably a siphon device arranged so that it can only be primed and actuated when a full charge of additive has been received from the first stage. The top of the siphon tube in the second stage is preferably disposed near the center of a rotatable cup, whereby siphon operation is also dependent upon and related to agitator rotational speed.
