1. A suspension for a washing machine, comprising:
a support shaft; a first elastic member that surrounds a portion of the support shaft and provides a first elastic force to the support shaft in a longitudinal direction of the support shaft; a second elastic member that is between the support shaft and the first elastic member, configured to provide a second elastic force different from the first elastic force, to the support shaft in a same direction as the first elastic member; a guide stopper at a first end of the support shaft, configured to restrict movement of the first elastic member and the second elastic member in one direction; and a housing on the support shaft that surrounds the first elastic member and the second elastic member, configured to restrict movement of the first elastic member and the second elastic member in another direction, wherein the housing includes a first locking portion configured to restrict movement of the first elastic member in the a first direction and a second locking portion configured to restrict movement of the second elastic member in a second direction, wherein when the first elastic member is not compressed, the second elastic member is spaced apart from the second locking portion, wherein when pressure is applied longitudinally to the support shaft, the first elastic member is compressed first, and then the second elastic member is compressed, and the second elastic member is relatively more elastic than the first elastic member. |
