WASHING MACHINE

摘要

A washing machine including a suspension to support an outer tub so as to absorb vibrations of the outer tub. The suspension includes an outer tub supporter disposed so as to be movable along a support rod, an elastic member to elastically support the outer tub supporter, a first friction unit to apply frictional force between the first friction unit and the support rod, and a second friction unit disposed above the first friction unit and movable along the support rod, the second friction unit applying frictional force between the second friction unit and the support rod, the second friction unit being displaceable relative to the outer tub supporter within a space delimited by the outer tub supporter.

1. A washing machine comprising:
a casing; an outer tub disposed inside the casing, to receive wash water therein; a support rod having one end connected to the casing, the other end of the support rod having a support prop; an outer tub supporter to support the outer tub, the outer tub supporter being disposed so as to be movable along the support rod; an elastic member supported by the support prop, the elastic member elastically supporting the outer tub supporter; a first friction unit to apply frictional force between the first friction unit and the support rod; and a second friction unit disposed above the first friction unit and movable along the support rod, the second friction unit applying frictional force between the second friction unit and the support rod, wherein the second friction unit is displaceable relative to the outer tub supporter within a space delimited by the outer tub supporter.
