Abstract
A centrally mounted spray inlet is provided for an automatic washer laundry basket in which the basket has a vertical axis rigid post mounted therein to rotate with the basket and a spray inlet is carried on a post to rotate relative to the post about an axis of rotation. A liquid conduit extends along the post for carrying wash liquid to the spray inlet. The post and spray inlet may be concentrically mounted about an axis of rotation of the wash basket with the spray inlet mounted at the top of the post. The spray inlet provides a fan of spray in a vertical orientation so that the entire height of the wash basket will be sprayed by the spray inlet.
