Abstract (en)
A top-loading washing machine comprises a drum (1) provided with an aperture (2) having its own closure element (3), said drum (1) being driven by an electric motor (8) via a usual linkage comprising a belt (6) and pulleys (4, 5). According to the invention, the pulley (4) associated with the drum (1) has in its peripheral edge (18) a recess (19) arranged to cooperate with a movable member (15) which can assume at least two working positions, in one of which it is inserted into said recess (19) and in the second of which it is spaced therefrom, said movable member (15) cooperating with sensor means (27) arranged to operate on said motor (8) to halt it on sensing that one of said working positions has been attained by the movable member (15), said recess (19) being positioned advantageously such that the said halting of the motor (8) and thus of the rotation of the drum (1) takes place when this latter has its aperture (2) in the loading and unloading position. <IMAGE>
