Benefits of technology

[0018] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for water supply in a laundry device which prevents detergent from remaining / being stuck in / to a dispenser body by discharging detergent / wash water more smoothly.

Problems solved by technology

However, according to the conventional detergent box assembly, if wash water reaches a predetermined level and water supply is stopped, the detergent flowing from the detergent box 20 into the dispenser body 10 cannot be discharged through the outlet pipe 11 smoothly.

Thereby, there may be a problem that the detergent is remaining within the dispenser body 10 due to the decrease of water currents.

Thus, there may be another problem that the detergent remains within the dispenser body 10.

Also, there may be still another problem in the conventional detergent box assembly.

Still worse, the stuck detergent closes some portion of the outlet pipe 11 to cause backflow.
