This is a new style of simulated hand wash automated washing machine using zigzag-shape robot hands, made by light yet strong metal, that is initiated and facilitated movements by solenoid electric-mechanical linear actuators. The mechanism to transfer the movements from the actuators works similar to the bike mechanism from which transfers the movement onto belts and these belts will pull and push the zigzag-shape robot hands. The movements received by these robot hands on the walls and the floor of the machine shell next are transmitted onto a washer ball made up of sustainable, light, flexible, yet little stretchy type of rubber. There are other benefits from this new style washer that is environmental-friendly, low cost (building, repairing, packaging, shipping, storage, handling, etc.), and more beneficial. g—I claim that the shell is made into six pieces: four walls , floor , and lid that have joints and hinges that can be assembled and disassembled easily. These pieces are made with correspondent positions for other parts and components to be attached on easily to form the full functional machine. () The described embodiments relate to garments, and more particularly garments that support post-operative procedures and treatment.In our modern times, washing machines have replaced a majority of hand-washing chores. However, there are special situations people still prefer to do hand-washing. This is because the current washing machines have some certain drawbacks, e.g. it causes damages, fraying, disfigured, and worn-outs of clothes and fabric items because the mechanism of hard wash causes fabrics constantly thrusting around inside the hard surface of a metal drum agitating with spinning water.This Simulated-Hand-Wash SHW washer is a kind of soft-wash mechanism. Fabrics are interactive within a spherical washer ball which is made from rubber with reasonable low-force motions created by sixteen (16) robot hands that pull and push similarly to hand wash. This ...

Combined oscillating and unidirectional agitator for automatic washer

COMBINED OSCILLATING AND UNIDIRECTIONAL AGITATOR FOR AUTOMATIC WASHER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Improved agitation means for use in a clothes washing machine of the type in which an agitator is oscillated by means of a drive mechanism to secure agitation of the clothes placed within the washing machine. The present invention provides a first agitator element and a second agitator element driven from a common driving source, the second agitator element being provided with means to urge clothes into a rollover pattern established by the coaction of the agitator elements and thereby impart a highly efficient rollover motion to the clothes. The first agitator element employs flexible vanes and is preferably located below and coaxial to the second agitator element which may be driven either intermittently, or continuously, in a unidirectional rotary motion. Use of the flexible vanes tends to avoid tangling of fabrics on the agitator, which might otherwise lead to increased shaft torque, reduced rollover or an unbalanced load of clothes.
