Pivoting Drum Washer & Dryer

This one is pretty self-explanatory. By pivoting the drum, clothes can be dumped in and then dumped out with relative ease. You can use a clothes basket to dump the clothes in, as well as to retrieve said clothes. Meaning you don’t have to touch your clothes until you have to fold them.

Both the Washer and Dryer could have this functionality (I just depicted an appliance in 3 different states above). The drum would pivot up to 60 degrees in either direction.

I assumed large-scale commercial/industrial appliances would have this, but they are just front-loading as well.

This is very beneficial if you are doing large volumes of laundry. Or if you don’t like handling dirty or damp clothes.

I’m not a plumbing or mechanical expert. I imagine there would be some technical issues in allowing a drum to move freely and connect to the motor that revolves it. Perhaps an electric hubless wheel motor built-in to the drum?
