appearance cabinet 13 which includes an access lid or cover 14 hingedly mounted on the top portion of the cabinet for providing access through an opening 17 to the basket 11 shown positioned over the basket 11 and projecting into the opening 17 is a wash water treating agent dispenser 18 which includes part of the dispensing system of the present invention preferably this is effected by removably mounting the dispenser 18 to the underside of the access lid by suitable means at the center of the wash basket 11 there is positioned an agitator 19 for flexing clothes during the washing operation conventionally the basket 11 is mounted for rotation and the agitator 19 is mounted for some type of oscillatory motion which will effect washing action on the clothes in the basket 11 basket 11 and agitator 19 are driven from a reversible motor 21 through a drive including a clutch 22 which through a suitable belt 23 transmits power to a transmission 24 when the motor 21 is rotated in one direction the transmission causes a slow speed oscillation of the agitator 19 conversely when the motor is driven in the opposite direction the transmission drives both the basket 11 and agitator 19 at a high speed for centrifugal extraction of the liquid from the fabrics within the basket in addition to operating the transmission 24 as described motor 21 also provides a direct drive to a pump structure that includes separate pumping units 26.
