The Simulated Hand-Wash Washer/ The Simulated Hand-Wash Washing Machine

c—I claim that, as described in claim a and b, this washer ball, the container for dirty clothes, is hanged at the center of the machine shell by strong industrial velcro surrounding it. The ball has two layers with the same thickness of a quarter of an inch, inner net layer structure with square holes (of a quarter of an inch on each side) and the outer layer;

• the outer layer has lower spherical part and upper flattened-out lid with a loading door (dirty clothes loading) with zipper to open and to close it.

d—I claim that, as described in claim a, b and c, this machine use the mechanism of a bike with its wheel-chain structure to move the belts of the robot hands, and then the belts, in turn, move the robot hands as desired.

e—I claim that, as described in claim a, b, c and d, this SHW washer machine can weigh its load by two solenoid scales with censors at the floor to determine the correspondent water volume needed. Then, it sends the weight information to the control panel. The control panel analyzes and then sends signals to all other stations to prepare and to activate these stations (hot/cold water valves, robot hand actuator centers, drain valves, etc.) for the wash to start. This is environmental friendly and efficiently use of water and detergent.

f—I claim that, the different valve structures (hot/cold water solenoid valves, detergent automated solenoid releasing box, drain solenoid valves, floor scales, etc.) with these solenoid features and censors to be pre-programmed and computerized to execute the process of wash, rinse, and drain in an automated timely manner via an interactive interface as the control panel at the front view of the machine shell.

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. (FIG. 2, 12)

h—I claim that, as described in claim a, b, c, d and e, the advantages of this SHW washer:

• environmental friendly, water saving, electric saving, reduce machine building costs and repairing costs, and saving material, light-weight. The new style of wash has other benefits on wrinkle reduction, clothes disfigured, fabrics damage reduction.

i—I claim that, as from the above claim from a to h, the machine is composed of components that can be taken out separately. Different parts and components can even be replaced if they are malfunctioned;

• they can even be folded;
• e.g. washer ball, robot hands, the shell are made into six pieces (four walls, floor and lid with joints) that can be assembled and disassembled. It is easy to handle, to package, to transfer, to ship, and to store. Besides, it also reduces cost of repairs, replacements of parts instead of the whole machines.
