Abstract
A clothes washer includes a pulsator which oscillates about a vertical axis. As the pulsator oscillates, a displacement mechanism reciprocates a plurality of thrusters from radially retracted positions adjacent the axis to radially extended positions in order to push the clothes outwardly. The displacement mechanism is driven by the same mechanism that oscillates the pulsator.
