Abstract

A motor drive with devices for translating the rotary movement of an output shaft (44) into a reciprocating linear movement, preferably for driving a reciprocating transporting device (4; 5, 6). The latter comprises catches (9; 9.1, 9.2), which engage in one direction and not in the other direction, in order to transport a receptacle (16) for items for washing. The transporting device comprises an articulated transporting frame (4), of which the transporting rails (5, 6) can be moved in opposite directions to one another.
