ABSTRACT:
A combination tub-wash basket for a vertical axis washing machine is an imperforate structure formed generally in the shape of a frustum of a cone mounted upon a concave base portion so as to provide an enlarged annulus chamber around the bottom of the basket. A perforate divider member is secured within the basket and is formed to provide an annular depression so as to define in the basket a clothes retaining area and a lower, washing medium retaining area. This perforate divider member is provided with vanes for imparting washing action to the clothes and a coaxial shaft for preventing large items being washed from lying across the basket. The base of the basket is provided with an axially concentric drain. When the wash basket is mounted within a machine providing a shifting nodal point, gyratory suspension system, during the centrifugal water extraction process, the annulus chamber provided at the bottom of the basket will contain water which, postcritically, will position itself therein to counter any unbalance in the basket resulting, for example, from the bunching of clothes.
