An agitator-type washing machine comprising an axial-airgap motor and a planetary reduction gear means, wherein a reciprocating motion of the axial-airgap motor is transmitted to an agitator via the reduction gear means in a washing action thereby making use of a high rotational speed, hence large torque and high efficiency of the axial-airgap motor.

Agitator-type washing machine

A temperature responsive current interrupter in which two conductors are connected by electrically conductive, low-melting-point fusible elements respectively mounted on the conductors and a connector element interconnecting the fusible elements and urged against an electrically non-conductive high-melting-point fusible element, the connector element being moved into a position separate from at least one of the conductors when the high-melting-point fusible element is melted by heat.
