1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to a top-loading drum-type washing machine with a housing lid, a detergent container lid and a drum lid, and, more specifically, to such a washing machine which includes a positioning apparatus which puts the drum in the loading position, and in which the housing lid is connected with the positioning apparatus so that the washing drum is automatically put in the loading position when the housing lid is opened.
2. Description of the Prior Art:
German Laid Open Patent Appln. No. 26 31 750 describes a top-loading drum-type washing machine of the type described above, in which three different lids must be opened to gain access to the interior of the drum. Because such an opening procedure is a nuisance and a waste of time, there remains a need for any such washing machine which is easier and more convenient to use.
