Washing machine

Abstract

A washing machine is disclosed, in which a rotatory power of a driving unit can be stably transmitted in a short time and provided to a pulsator or a washing tub. The washing machine includes a motor (7) including stator (7a) and rotor (7b), a hollow spinning shaft (5) of which an upper end is connected to the washing tub (2), a washing shaft (4) connected to the pulsator (3) of which an upper end is installed within the washing tub, solders (31) and (35) moving up and down according to an outer surface of the spinning shaft and selectively transmitting the rotatory power of the rotor to the spinning shaft, and actuator (6) guiding up and down movements of the sliders, a power transmission means between the actuator and the slider to convert a power of the actuator and to transmit the power to the slider, and an attenuating means between the actuator and the slider to delay the power generated in the actuator and to transmit the power to the slider.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
