PURPOSE: Filter structure of a feed valve for a washing machine is provided to prevent wrong operation and inflow of foreign matters into the feed valve by restricting the second filter from being removed by a user without an additional tool with the double filter structure. CONSTITUTION: A feed valve(8) is installed in a water supply passage of a washing machine, and a filter(9) is installed in a valve head(800) of the feed valve. The filter is composed of a handle(9a), a net(9b) and a support frame(9c) surrounding the net and the handle. A second filter(10) is mounted in the filter, and composed of a net. The outer diameter of the second filter is larger than the inner diameter of the valve head, and the end of the second filter is rounded or bent within the range of 30-60 angular degrees. A compression belt is formed with elastically deforming the second filter in inserting the second filter to the valve head. |
