OSCILLATING WASHER AGITATOR Abstract of the Disclosure An agitator for a horizontally oscillating clothes washer includes a hollow perforate column on a flared skirt con- figured to provide three distinct levels of agitator action. The first and second levels comprise four triangular fins. The first or upper level of each fin helps submerge dry articles by pulling them downwardly, channelizes the articles between the fins to keep the articles in straight toroidal planes, and beats bellow- causing air out of the articles without generating a "suds lock" condition. The second or intermediate level provides just enough circulation to maintain the articles loose, unbunched, and chan- nelized. The third or bottom level comprises four rounded vanes projecting upwardly from the skirt with each vane having a de- creasing cross section in the radially outer dierction. The outer bottom edge of each vane is rooted to the skirt by a thin web, the decreasing cross section in combination with the thin web allowing the vane to flex in a controlled pattern when under load. This invention relates to a clothes washer and, more particularly, to an improved agitator for horizontally oscil- lating clothes in the washer.
