it should be noted that the spinner basket of the present invention uses a minimum amount of water as compared to vertical axis washers which must be filled to a much greater depth after the water 50 has been placed in the spinner basket 36 it remains within that basket while the basket is in a stationary condition the reason for this is that there are no perforations in the spinner basket 36 as is the case with most conventional spinner baskets instead the only openings in spinner basket 36 are the inlet openings 56 which provide communication into the labyrinths 54 when the spinner basket 36 is stationery as shown in fig2 the labyrinths 54 are partially filled with water but they are incapable of draining water out of the labyrinth through the outlet opening 54 during the washing cycle the spinner basket 36 is rotated in the direction shown by clockwise arrow 62 in fig2 when rotating in this direction the water 50 is not permitted to exit through the outlet openings 58 instead the water fills the labyrinth 54 and as the inlet opening 56 rises on the left side of the rotation of the device the water drains out of the labyrinth back into the spinner basket thus during the washing cycle the water is agitated in a tumbling action.
