Abstract
The invention concerns a procedure and a mechanism for washing textiles in a tub-type washing machine with a horizontally arranged tub, in which during the washing and rinsing cycles the tub is driven with a rotational velocity at which the centrifugal velocity at the tub case is between 0.4 and 0.95 g, so that the textiles are repeatedly lifted up, and then fall in a trajectory onto the lower portion of the tub, and that between the washing and rinsing cycles and after the last rinsing cycle the tub is driven at spin speed, and in which the washing or rinsing liquid is led into the suds container and is supplied to the textiles by immersing the tub in the liquid or by at least one spray nozzle spraying into the tub continuously or at intervals.

Procedure for the washing of textiles through a wash and rinse cycle in a tub-type washing machine with a horizontally arranged tub, in which during the washing and rinsing cycles the tub is driven with a rotational velocity at which the centrifugal velocity at the tub case is between 0.4 and 0.95 g, so that the textiles, during the washing and rinsing cycles, are repeatedly lifted up, and then fall in a trajectory path onto the lower portion of the tub and that between washing and rinsing cycles and after the last rinsing cycle they are spun, characterized in that when the machine is loaded, the tub rotates at a rotational velocity at which the centrifugal velocity at the tub case is 0.2-0.6 g, that washing liquid is constantly supplied until all textiles are wetted with an amount of washing liquid equal to between 45 and 100% of the maximum amount that can be absorbed by the textiles, that following the washing cycle the tub is driven at a certain spin speed until a first amount of washing liquid is completely spun out, then spinning is continued until a further amount of liquid is spun out, that during the subsequent rinsing cycle water is led in in the same manner as washing liquid is led in for the washing cycle, and that the tub is driven with the same speed during washing, and that after each subsequent rinsing cycle spinning is done in the same manner as after washing.
