patent of the day agitator

[sheerlookhomes]

What an interesting looking spiral blade agitator in today's 'Patent of the day'
Did this make it to production?..and if so do any exist?
It would have looked fantastic in colour,

thanks, sheerlookhomes.

Looks like a variation on the Easy Spiralator agitator (Murray Corp.) and the Bendix Power Surge design. I'd love to see it in action.

To me this reeks of today's (already extinct) WP and KM Calyso action machines.

Looks more like a dishwasher impeller to me...

Wobble agitator, looks a lot more complicated than the Bendix version. I wonder when Bendix patented their designs? I'm also curious how many unbalanced loads it would have taken for those suspension springs to chew through the outer tub boot?
