<p>A washing machine has a spin basket (2) rotated by a driving motor (11). A barrel supplied with water from a supply pipe is disposed at an outer area of the spin basket, and a nozzle (30) is installed in the barrel (25). The barrel has holes (32) for jetting water into the spin basket, and can move between a position protruding from the barrel to be adjacent to an opening of the spin basket and a position inserted into the barrel to be distanced from the opening. The nozzle is elastically pressed by a spring. When the supply pipe is opened by a valve, the nozzle is moved against the elastic force of the spring toward the protruding position by a hydraulic pressure of water flowing into the barrel through the supply pipe. Then, the water is jetted into the spin basket through the holes in a showering manner. Thus, a rinsing efficiency is enhanced.</p> |
