The invention relates to a method and a device for washing textile items to be washed, wherein the items to be washed and a washing liquid are introduced into a washing container. Then the washing container is dually asymmetrically centrifuged. During the dual asymmetrical centrifuging, the washing container is rotated about a first axis of rotation, which extends outside of the washing container, and simultaneously about a second axis of rotation, which extends through the washing container and is at an acute angle to the first axis of rotation. The washing process is thereby intensified and significantly accelerated.

A reciprocating laundry machine includes a drum assembly unit including an outer drum inclined in a housing, an inner drum inclined in the housing, a first motor disposed in the housing, a sheave at a second end of the inner drum, a belt rotatably interconnecting the sheave and the first motor wherein the first motor activates to rotate the inner drum; and a reciprocating unit in the housing and including a second motor disposed externally of the outer drum, a guide rod passing through the outer and inner drums, and a reciprocating agitator board. The second motor engages a first end of the guide rod. The reciprocating agitator board is pivotably secured to a second end of the guide rod. The second motor may activate the guide rod which in turn moves the reciprocating agitator board forward and backward alternately in the inner drum.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a drum and a lifter disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the drum and configured to rotate with the drum. The lifter includes a lifter frame installed on the inner circumferential surface of the drum and a frame cover coupled to the lifter frame. The lifter frame includes a frame base coupled to the inner circumferential surface, a frame upper plate having a first water flow through-hole, and a frame sidewall that connects the frame upper plate to the frame base and that defines a second water flow through-hole. The frame cover includes a cover upper plate having a water flow discharge hole configured to discharge, into the drum, washing water having passed through at least one of the first water flow through-hole or the second water flow through-hole, and a cover sidewall that extends from the cover upper plate to the frame base.

A detergent supply device including a detergent container including an opening in a rear of the detergent container; a discharge pump including an inflow portion; and a valve assembly mounted in the detergent container, and including a plunger, an elastic body, and a link guide unit coupled to the plunger. While the detergent container is inserted into the washing machine the inflow portion passes through the opening of the detergent container to press the plunger so that the plunger compresses the elastic body and thereby generates an elastic force in the elastic body, and a force in the second direction against the plunger is transferred to the link guide unit to offset a force in the first direction against the detergent container. While the detergent container is withdrawn from the washing machine, the elastic body presses the plunger to close the opening of the detergent container.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a first nozzle water supply conduit which is disposed, on the gasket, in the one side with respect to the vertical line and guides water discharged through the first circulation port to the pair of first nozzles; and a second nozzle water supply conduit which is disposed, on the gasket, in the other side with respect to the vertical line and guides water discharged through the second circulation port to the pair of second nozzles.

A laundry appliance may include a cabinet, a basket, a door, and an insert module. The basket may be rotatably mounted within the cabinet. The basket may define a laundry chamber for the receipt of clothes. The door may be movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the basket. The door may include a perimeter rim defining a module pocket therein. The insert module may be received within the module pocket. The insert module may include a module faceplate supported on the door and movable relative thereto.
