  • This asymmetrical V-shaped recess 14 facilitates by its manual orientation 18, a manual rotation of the drum 4 in a preferred direction, that of arrow F and a rapid alignment of the gate 10 with the access door 7 after a short angular path of the drum 4 of the order of 90 ° and discourages by its sliding surface for the fingers 20 a manual rotation of this drum 4 in a non-preferential direction, that opposite to the arrow F where an alignment of the gate 10 with the door access 7 is obtained only after a long angular path of the drum 4 of the order of 270 °.
  • a washing machine 25 comprises an access door 26, a tank 27 and a washing drum 28 provided in the exterior surface of its shell with one part gate 30 and a longitudinal rib of the stirring 31, and on the other hand as means allowing, in a rapid alignment of its gate 30 with the access door 26 of the machine, a manual rotation of this drum in a preferred direction, of one or more oriented ribs formed by longitudinal ribs 33, 34 with asymmetrical inverted V cross sections with respect respectively to the radial planes of symmetry 35, 36 passing through the axis of rotation 37 of this drum and the tops of these ribs.
  • the longitudinal rib oriented in an asymmetrical inverted V cross section 33 creates in the drum 28 to the left of the radial plane of symmetry 35 for an observer placing in the axis of rotation 37 of this drum 28, a bearing surface or manual grip oriented 39 facilitating manual rotation of this drum 28 in the direction of arrow G and to the right of this radial plane of symmetry 35, a surface 40 which easily allows fingers to slide and discourages manual rotation of this drum in a direction opposite to that of arrow G.
  • the longitudinal rib oriented with an asymmetrical inverted V cross section 34 creates in the drum 28 to the right of the radial plane of symmetry 36 for an observer placing in the axis of rotation 37 of this drum, a bearing surface or manual grip oriented 42 facilitating manual rotation of this drum 28 in a direction opposite to that of arrow G, and to the left of this radial plane of symmetry 36 a surface 44 which allows fingers to slide easily and discourages manual rotation of this drum in the direction of the arrow G.
  • direction indicators in the form of an arrow, an arrowhead or a chevron, etc. are attached, formed or marked on the drum 28 near the ribs oriented at asymmetrical inverted V cross sections 33, 34 to make clear the preferred direction of the oriented manual sockets 39, 42 created in these ribs in a manual rotation of this drum, during rapid alignment of the gate 30 with the access door 26.
