The data on the "Energy Label" refer to programme "Coloured Cotton 60 °C".

This option is recommended for non fast coloured items and for frequently washed items.

Then, in addition to the shut-off means I2, the shut-off means E4 and D4 are closed, while the shut-off means F2, E3, D3 and D2 are opened, so that countercurrent liquid can flow from the washing compartment F into the washing compartment D, while by-passing the washing compartment E filled with colored laundry material.

In addition, in the above-mentioned example white laundry items are to be treated in certain laundering zones at higher temperatures than colored laundry items, so that such points of view are contrary in such cases for the embodiment of the countercurrent method.

The invention provides as a solution of the problem that laundry items of a preponderantly present first kind (that is white laundry) are laundered in a manner known per se according to prior art, under the countercurrent method, and that laundry items simultaneously present in the washing machine, of a second kind present in a lesser amount (for example multicolored laundry items or woolen fabrics) are laundered in a manner known per se according to prior art under the multi-lye method, whereby the partial current flowing in countercurrent to the laundry is fed from a laundry compartment containing laundry of the first kind and transported, by-passing a laundry compartment containing laundry of the second kind, to the next laundry compartment located in the direction of the countercurrent and containing laundry of the first kind.

With the embodiment of the washing apparatus according to the invention, it becomes possible to not only dispense with the investment for an additional, generally smaller washing machine for laundering laundry present to a lesser amount (multicolored laundry items for instance), but in addition the advantage is achieved that with laundry present in a larger amount, of the first kind (that is white laundry, for example) and/or maintained, offered by the countercurrent method, and while dispensing with a second washing machine, the disadvantages of a multi-lye method must not be accepted, as it is put into practice merely with laundry of the second kind present to a lesser amount.

It also should be pointed out that the washing process in the countercurrent principle by no means is necessarily reserved to white wash, for example, while, for example, multicolored or woolen laundry items to be washed simultaneously are washed under the multi-lye method as it is explained in greater detail below, but for optimizing the profitability, the manner of operation appropriately is so provided that the kind of laundry present preponderantly is laundered under the countercurrent procedure, while laundry present to a lesser degree of the second kind is processed according to the multi-lye method.

A change only occurs in the conveying phase whereby the shut-off means located in conduit A18 is opened, in order to deliver the residual liquid possibly discolored by the colored laundry items into the discharge conduit 17 and thus to drain the washing compartment A for a new batch of laundry, possibly consisting of white material.

During the washing cycle, when the colored laundry is in the washing compartment D, according to FIG.

Once more it shall be pointed out here that in each case following the draining of the residual liquid from a washing compartment which contained colored laundry, this quasi lost liquid discharging via the drain conduit 17 into channel 17' can be equalized by a short-lived addition of fresh water via the feed line 13, when the shut-off means 6 associated with the corresponding washing compartment is opened for a brief time.

The invention relates to a method of simultaneously laundering different laundry items, consisting for example of either white laundry items or colored laundry items, in a continuous washing machine having a plurality of laundry zones, containing, if applicable, several laundry compartments, wherein the laundry items fed at the start of the laundering machine cyclically and consecutively in the area of the loading and/or soaking zone into the washing machine are transferred in each case, following a pre-determined treatment or a synchronized period of time, automatically into the next laundry compartment and delivered at the end of the washing machine cyclically and consecutively.

However, the latter may occur when laundry items of different types, that is for example laundry items consisting of what laundry on the one hand and colored laundry on the other hand are fed in random sequence into such a washing machine and thus are present also simultaneously in the washing machine.

Basically, nothing changes either, obviously, if several washing compartments 23 placed adjacent to each other or in spaced relation, contain colored laundry items, while the remaining washing compartments contain white wash or vice versa, because such a load condition merely is a question of the control of the shut-off means, whereby the principle according to the invention explained with reference to FIGS. 1, 1a and particularly 1b, as shown above, is maintained unchanged.
