Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011083390A1] A top-loading laundry washing machine has a washing tub (2), a laundry basket (12) mounted in the tub (2) for rotating about a substantially horizontal driving axis (A), and a driving arrangement. The driving arrangement includes a first shaft (20) and a second shaft (20), each rigidly constrained to a respective end wall (13, 14) of the basket (12), a first hub and a second hub (21-23) associated to a respective side wall (3 and 30, 4 and 30) of the tub (2), for rotatably supporting the first shaft and the second shaft (20), respectively, and a motor (25) having a stator (26) supported by the first hub (21-23) and a rotor (27) connected to the first shaft (20). The tub (2) constitutes a stationary load-bearing structure of the machine (1), i.e., a non-oscillating one, and at least one substantial portion of the tub (2) remains in view. Operatively set between each side wall (3 and 30, 4 and 30) of the tub (2) and the respective hub (21-23) are elastically deformable sealing means (34) and elastic supporting means (28), in such a way that the basket (12), with the corresponding shafts (20), hubs (21-23), and motor (25) are mounted so that they can oscillate with respect to the tub (2).
