Laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus comprising:

• a cabinet defining a cabinet laundry inlet;
• a tub configured to receive water and defining a tub laundry inlet facing the cabinet laundry inlet;
• a drum rotatably disposed in the tub and configured to receive laundry therein;
• a first fixed body mounted to the tub and configured to at least partially surround the tub laundry inlet;
• a second fixed body mounted to the cabinet and configured to at least partially surround the cabinet laundry inlet;
• a first extending body including a first cylindrical elastic body extending from the first fixed body toward the second fixed body;
• a second extending body including a second cylindrical elastic body extending from the second fixed body toward the first fixed body, the second extending body having a free end configured to be inserted into the first extending body;
• a connecting body including:
• a first connecting portion including a first curved elastic portion extending from a free end of the first extending body toward the second extending body,
• a second connecting portion including a second curved elastic portion extending from the free end of the second extending body toward the first extending body, and
• a third connecting portion including an elastic portion connecting the first connecting portion to the second connecting portion;
• and
• one or more spacers configured to maintain a space between the connecting body and the second extending body,
• wherein the one or more spacers are positioned vertically below a horizontal plane that includes a rotational axis of the drum, and
• wherein the one or more spacers include:
• a first spacer positioned on a vertical plane including the rotational axis of the drum;
• a second spacer positioned at a first side from the vertical plane and spaced apart from the first spacer;
• and
• a third spacer positioned at a second side from the vertical plane and spaced apart from the first spacer, the second side being opposite to the first side with respect to the vertical plane,
• wherein the second spacer and the third spacer are symmetrically disposed with respect to the first spacer.
