wringer washer and YOU
Hi. I`am not sure I understand your question, but I have a wringer, (Maytag) and use it all the time, Wringers are basically agitators on wheels, LOL. There is no cycle, YOU fill, YOU turn on, YOU pull a nob it starts to agitate, YOU push the nob in when YOU want it to stop agitating, (no timer) and so on.There is nothing automatic about them. (operative word here YOU) Mechanically they work by a motor that turns a gearbox constantly as long as its plugged in, which also turns a set of gears that operate the agitator shaft, and wringer mechanism, (gears) If the machine has a pump, its a mechanical pump YOU engage by shifting a lever, to pump out the wash water, and or rinse water that YOU have to shift off when it has emptied, Hope this is an answer to your question, if not someone in the group will, and probably better.

Simply...
Through the use of a lever connected to a gear, the motor runs constantly and then you can engage the gear or belt drive for the agitator, and then also the lever on the side of the wringer simply engages a gear wheel connected to the driveshaft from a gearbox,...its simply two gearwheels coming together, simple & effective...no clutch required!!!
It might seem obvious to those around them but if you`ve never used one / seen one up close etc...the questions a good one... Keep asking...its how we all learned the knowledge anyway!!! Cheers, Mike | ||
