the transmission 20 through the shaft 22 to the agitator 14 when the pulley 28 is rotated in an opposite second direction the transmission 20 transfers rotational movement through the spinner drive shaft 24 to the spinner basket 12 and causes rotation of the spinner basket 12 only in the second direction this rotation is usually at high speeds so as to centrifugally spin the washing fluid out of the fabrics that are within the spinner basket 12 connected to the pulley 28 is a drive belt 30 which is also trained around a pulley 32 fixed to a clutch hub 34 for rotation in unison therewith the clutch hub 34 includes a circular end wall 36 and an angular flange 38 inside the clutch hub 34 is a circular intermediate plate 40 having a central cutout portion 42 shown in fig3 the cutout portion 42 includes four cutout spokes 44 and four arcuate t slots 46 at the outer ends of the cutout spokes 44 the arcuate t slots 46 are very close to the outer peripheral edge 82 of the intermediate plate 40 this close proximity creates four outer weak spots 48 that are capable of flexing in response to centrifugal force resulting from rotation of the intermediate plate 40 each of the cutout spokes 44 in the intermediate plate 40 include an orthogonal side 50 and an angled side or cam surface 52 the four orthogonal sides 50 are perpendicular to one another and form a generally rectangle shape the four angled.
