ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a laundry machine comprising a washing drum which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis; the generated surface of the drum being formed with apertures through which washing liquid can flow. The drum is supported, preferably by an endless retaining element, such that an outer surface of the drum is spaced apart from an inner surface portion of a casing. At least one partition extends substantially radially inside the drum thereby dividing the drum into discrete segments. The partition has an aperture and conveyor means are disposed inside the drum for conveying laundry from one segment of the drum to an adjacent segment thereof via the aperture. A flange extends substantially radially outwardly from the drum, and from between each pair of adjacent segments thereof, thereby dividing the gap between the drum and the casing into pockets or chambers, means being provided for obtaining a fluid-tight seal between each flange and the casing. Washing liquid may be fed to each pocket or chamber between the drum and the casing via respective pipes communicating therewith.
