Abstract
An improved delay mechanism for providing a delay in the spin cycle of an automatic washer is operated by means of a resilient spring driver pivotable about a stud rotating on an eccentric, which in turn is engageable with a spin gear only in one direction of rotation, and thereby provides a delay of substantially one revolution of the eccentric upon a change in direction of rotation of the eccentric.
