Abstract (en)

Described is a laundry washing machine of the top-charging tyle, particularly for domestic use, comprising a tub-drum assembly resiliently suspended within a frame, and a counterweight for the dynamic equilibration of the tub-drum assembly. According to the invention, the counterweight is mounted on the top portion of the tub and formed with a central through-opening registering with a charging port in the frame of the machine and an access opening of the tub, a flexible element being connected between said charging port and said central through-opening. The described location of the counterweight permits the weight and dimensions thereof to be considerably reduced as compared to known constructions.
