Benefits of technology

[0019] According to the present invention, since the independent parts forming the decoration panel can be exactly assembled with each other, the alignment thereof can be enhanced and thus the noise or vibration can be prevented

Problems solved by technology

However, the decoration panel may cause a couple of problems.
First, during the assembly of the drum-type washing machine, a gap may be generated during the assembling process of the decoration panel due to assembling deviations between other components.
That is, s

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to an assembling structure of a panel member on an edge of a front portion of a drum-type washing machine. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Generally, a drum-type washing machine includes a main body, a tub installed in the main body, a drum installed rotatably in the tub, and a driving motor for rotating the drum. [0005] The laundry is inputted in the drum and washed by a chemical action of the washing water and a physical action of the laundry as the laundry is lifted and falls by the rotation of the drum. The laundry in the drum-type washing machine is less tangled than that in the pulsator-type washing machine and is improved it its washing ability. Therefore, in recently, the drum-type washing machine has been popularized. [0006] Meanwhile, for the drum-type washing machine, together with a variety of improved functions ha...
