ABSTRACT:
A transmission is disclosed for providing drive to a washing machine agitator and basket to produce slow speed agitator oscillation and relatively high speed rotation of the basket for spin extraction. The transmission input shaft is driven by a drive motor and operated for either reversing or unidirectional rotation to produce the agitator oscillation and basket spin, respectively. The input shaft is drivingly connected to an agitator power shaft through reduction gearing carried in a gear case, while the gear case is secured to the washing machine basket. A clutch-brake arrangement alternatively causes braking of the gear case to the transmission housing or couples the gear case to the input shaft to produce the high speed drive of the basket through the gear case, or alternatively producing a low speed oscillation of the agitator by drive through the reduction gearing.
