Abstract
Disclosed is a drum-type washing machine having a tub provided therein for storing wash water with an improved structure, the tub including a center tub formed in a hollow cylindrical form for rotatably providing a drum therein; and a back tub including a base plate for covering a rear side of the center tub, a first bending part bent backward from an outline of the base plate, and overlapped on an inner surface of the center tub, and a second bending part bent frontward from the first bending part, and overlapped on an outer circumferential surface of the center tub.
Claims13
A drum-type washing machine having a tub for storing wash water, the tub comprising:
- a center tub formed in a hollow cylindrical form for having a drum rotatably provided therein;
- and
- a back tub including:
- a base plate for covering a rear side of the center tub,
- a first bending part bent backward from an outline of the base plate, and overlapped on an inner circumferential surface of the center tub, and
- a second bending part bent frontward from the first bending part for covering a rear end of the center tub, and overlapped on an outer circumferential surface of the center tub,
- wherein the rear end of the center tub is not bent.
A drum-type washing machine comprising:
- a base plate formed in a circular form;
- a back tub including:
- a first bending part bent rearward from an outline of the base plate;
- and
- a center tub formed in a hollow cylindrical form, having a rear end and a rear inner circumferential surface overlapped with an outer circumferential surface of the first bending part, and having an end bent by a curl manufacturing for covering the end of the first bending part,
- wherein the rear end of the center tub is not bent.
A drum-type washing machine including a tub provided therein for storing wash water, the tub comprising:
- a center tub having a third bending part bent outward at a front side thereof, and formed in a hollow cylindrical form;
- a back tub including:
- a base plate for covering a rear of the center tub,
- a first bending part bent rearward from an outline of the base plate, and overlapped on an inner circumferential surface of the rear center tub, and
- a second bending part bent frontward from the first bending part, and overlapped with an outer circumferential surface of the rear center tub;
- and
- a front tub having a fourth bending part bent to face the third bending part, and provided in front of the center tub;
- a sealing member provided between the third bending part and the fourth bending part;
- and
- a clamping means provided along outer circumferential surfaces of the third bending part and the forth bending part,
- wherein the rear end of the center tub is not bent.
