Benefits of technology

[0044]According to the laundry machine of the present invention, a drum type laundry machine having a totally different new structure is provided. As a result, the vibration of the drum is not transmitted to the tub and it may be suspendingly supported.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the size of the drum type laundry machine may be installed limited to be adjustable to its installation circumstance.
As mentioned above, it is limited for the structure of the spring and damper dampening the vibration of the tub and the cabinet to change an inner structure of the drum type laundry.
As the installation circumstance of the laundry machine is limited, it is limited to change the size of the laundry machine.
However, it is difficult to enlarge the size of the tub in the conventional drum type laundry machine to increase the washing capacity, because of the limitation condition mentioned above.
