The inner wall also has a number of spiral drainage ducts connected to an annular recess adjacent to a top opening of the basket. A number of through openings are configured in the annular recess. A rotatable agitation disc is detachably mounted on a bottom side of the basket. The washing machine has no dirt accumulation problem between inner and outer baskets. Its various components are easily detachable and the washing machine therefore is constantly maintained in a clean and sanitary state.

Claim (Index 1):
A washing machine, comprising\n a tub having a basket space and a bottom, said bottom being provided with an outlet pipe connecting said basket space to outside of said tub; a motor mounted beneath said bottom of said tub; a basket housed in said basket space of said tub, said basket having a cylindrical shape with a hollow space inside, said basket having an open top and an inner wall, said inner wall of said basket having a plurality of spiral drainage ducts which are concaved into said inner wall in a direction for a depth which gradually increases as said spiral drainage ducts are extended from a bottom of said basket to a top of said basket, said basket having an annular recess formed on said inner wall and located above said spiral drainage ducts and close to said open top, said basket having a plurality of slots spaced apart on said inner wall and located to said open top and a plurality of latches spaced apart on said inner wall and located close to a bottom of said basket; a plurality of washing plates arranged on said inner wall of said basket, said washing plates being a hollow member and having an inner space, said washing plates having an outer side provided with a plurality of horizontal ribs and an outlet in communication with said inner space, an upper end of said washing plates being provided with a latch, a lower end of said washing plates being provided with a slot, said washing plates being mounted on said inner wall of said basket with said latch of said washing plates engaged with a respective one of said slots of said basket and with said slot of said washing plates engaged with a respective one of said slots of said basket; a plurality of wavy plates arranged on said inner wall of said basket, said wavy plates having an outer side provided with a plurality of vertical wave elements, said vertical wave elements being provided with through holes, an upper end of said wavy plates being provided with a latch, an lower end of said wavy plates being provided with a slot, said wavy plates being mounted on said inner wall of said basket with said latch of said wavy plates engaged with a respective one of said slots of said basket and with said slot of said wavy plates engaged with a respective one of said slots of said basket; a rotatable agitation disc mounted on an inner bottom side of said basket, said rotatable agitation disc being vertically mounted on a vertical axle of said motor, said rotatable agitation disc having a plurality of radially arranged fins; and a plurality of connecting ducts mounted on an outer bottom of said basket and aiming at a circumference of said rotatable agitation disc; whereby when said motor is turned on, said motor will cause said rotatable agitation disc to rotate which will in turn drives water in said basket to flow and circulate so that clothes inside said basket is spun by circulating water thereby causing said clothes to rub against said horizontal ribs of said washing plates and said vertical wave elements of said wavy plate and therefore achieving cleaning effect.
