Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9829595A2] The present invention relates to a washing machine that can be contained in small volumes, consisting of a modular water tank unit in order to allow the continuity of washing during interruptions of main water supply, or a modular storage unit to be used for different purposes; with superior performance, having a drive system that realizes the intelligent washing movements. By direct connection of the drive system to the drum, the height of the washing machine has been reduced to the extent that it conforms to the tank diameter thus permitting the use of the section at the lower part of the machine reserved for the motor, for various purposes. As the result of this reduction in the height of the washing machine and as the directly connected drive system causes less vibration, it has been possible to use the washing machine by placing it on a counter or by mounting it on the wall.
