Abstract
A laundry treating apparatus includes a first nozzle water supply conduit which is disposed, on the gasket, in the one side with respect to the vertical line and guides water discharged through the first circulation port to the pair of first nozzles; and a second nozzle water supply conduit which is disposed, on the gasket, in the other side with respect to the vertical line and guides water discharged through the second circulation port to the pair of second nozzles.
Claims20
A laundry treating apparatus comprising:
- a cabinet which has an input port formed in a front surface thereof;
- a tub which is disposed in the cabinet, and has an opening formed on a front surface thereof;
- a drum which is rotatably installed in the tub;
- a gasket which forms a channel coupling the input port to the opening;
- a plurality of first nozzles which are provided on an inner circumferential surface defining the channel of the gasket and spray water into the drum, and disposed on one side with respect to a vertical line passing through a center of the gasket;
- a pump which pumps water discharged from the tub;
- and
- a first nozzle water supply conduit being disposed at the one side with respect to the vertical line and connected to the pump,
- wherein the first nozzle water supply conduit includes:
- a first conduit portion being disposed around the gasket in the one side with respect to the vertical line and extending along an outer circumferential surface of the gasket;
- a first lower nozzle water supply port that protrudes from the first conduit portion toward the gasket and that is connected to a first lower nozzle among the plurality of first nozzles;
- and
- a first upper nozzle water supply port that is connected to the first conduit portion at a position higher than the first lower nozzle water supply port and that is connected to a first upper nozzle positioned above the first lower nozzle among the plurality of first nozzles,
- wherein the first conduit portion is bent between the first lower nozzle water supply port and the first upper nozzle water supply port.
