Abstract
An annular auto-balancing mechanism consisting of an annular shaped housing that is filled with fluid of specific viscosity, characterized in that its balancing weights rotate around a series of circularly set supporting axes of balancing weights, which allows for the construction of an annular shaped mechanism, which, in turn, allows the mechanism to be installed on the front side of a drum for unobstructed opening and closing of the door of a washing machine, on the one hand, and maximal utilization of the mechanism's volume, on the other hand.
Claims3
An annular auto-balancing mechanism comprising:
- an annular housing filled with a viscous fluid, and three balancing weights, each of said balancing weights rotating around one of a series of supporting bearing axes circularly set in said housing, wherein said three balancing weights are constructed in such a way that a first of said balancing weights and a second of said balancing weights each weigh half as much as a third of said balancing weights, said third of said balancing weights being located between said first and said second of said balancing weights, so that the common center of mass of said first and second of said balancing weights is located in the same plane as the center of mass of said third of said balancing weights.
