Abstract:
An automatic dishwasher having a wash tub defining at least a portion of a wash chamber, a first sprayer mounted within the wash chamber for rotatable movement therein, a liquid flow path fluidly coupling the wash chamber to the first sprayer, a valve assembly located within the liquid flow path and having a valve element rotatable about a first axis of rotation and between at least first and second positions to selectively divert liquid in the liquid flow path to the first sprayer and a drive system.

Claim (Index 1):
A dishwasher, comprising:\n a wash tub defining at least a portion of a wash chamber; a first sprayer mounted within the wash chamber for rotatable movement therein; a liquid flow path fluidly coupling the wash chamber to the first sprayer; a valve assembly located within the liquid flow path and having a valve element that is rotatable about a first axis of rotation and between at least first and second positions to selectively divert liquid in the liquid flow path to the first sprayer; and a drive system having an output shaft driven by a motor, about a second axis of rotation, and the output shaft operably coupled to the first sprayer and wherein selective actuation of the drive system provides a driving force via the output shaft that rotates the first sprayer within the wash chamber and wherein the output shaft extends through an opening in the valve element to partially integrate the valve assembly and the drive system to provide a compact configuration as compared to a configuration where the output shaft does not extend through an opening in the valve element.
