Benefits of technology

[0011]To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a laundry machine comprising: a stainless steel cover forming an appearance, and a burr shield portion for shielding burrs occurring on the cover. Accordingly, it is capable of implementing an excellent appearance and of preventing a user from being damaged or injured due to the burrs.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the cover of the steel is directly used without the coating process, the cover may be easily corroded.
However, when burrs of cut portions of the cover are not smoothly processed, a user may be damaged or injured due to the burrs.
That is, if the user grasps the unprocessed burrs of the detergent box and the pump cover when detachably mounting the detergent box at the detergent box mounting hole or when detachably mounting the pump cover at the pump service hole, the user's hand may be damaged or injured due to the burrs.
