The present invention relates to washing machines, and more particularly, to a detergent introducing device to a washing machine which can prevent early introduction of detergent, such as fiber softener and the like. The washing machine includes a cabinet which is an exterior of the washing machine, a drum rotatably mounted in the cabinet, and a detergent introducing device drawably mounted in the cabinet for supplying detergent, such as fiber softener, and the like, to the drum, wherein the detergent introducing device includes a detergent box having a chamber for holding the detergent, such as the fiber softener, and a first siphon tube projected upward from the chamber, and an early introduction preventive portion mounted on the detergent box for preventing early introduction of the fiber softener in the chamber into the first siphon tube. The washing machine of the present invention has the following advantages. The early introduction preventive portion of the detergent introducing device permits to prevent early introduction of fiber softener in the detergent box into the drum even if an impact is applied to the detergent box having the detergent, such as the fiber softener, held therein. Accordingly, as a loss of the fiber softener can be reduced, a washing effect can be maximized, and an effective washing can be done. |
