Benefits of technology

[0050]A laundry machine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be configured to substantially prevent vibration of a drum from being transmitted to a tub. This may ensure an increase in the size of the tub so that the tub is arranged close to an inner surface of a cabinet.
[0051]Furthermore, it may be possible to accomplish a compact interior structure of the laundry machine by effectively acquiring a space between the increased size of the tub and the cabinet and utilizing the space for installation of relevant constituent elements.

Problems solved by technology

This rotation, however, may entail vibration of the drum.

Abstract

Disclosed is a laundry machine in which a tub is isolated from vibration of a drum, ensuring an increased size of the tub and an increased volume of the tub. This results in an increased capacity of the laundry machine. The increased size of the tub provides a sufficient space between the tub and a cabinet for installation of relevant constituent elements, thus accomplishing a compact interior structure of the laundry machine.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a laundry machine to process laundry.[0002]In general, examples of laundry machines may include washing machines and drying machines. Washing machines may be classified into pulsator type washing machines and drum washing machines. Some of these washing machines may be combined washing and drying machines, which are capable of performing a drying operation, rather than performing only a washing operation.[0003]Drying machines may be one kind of laundry machines to dry wet laundry using, for example, hot air.BACKGROUND ART[0004]Drum washing machines may be configured in such a way that a tub may be horizontally arranged and in turn, a drum may also be horizontally arranged in the tub. Laundry may be accommodated within the drum, so as to be tumbled and washed during rotation of the drum.[0005]The tub may serve to receive wash water therein, and the drum may accommodate laundry to enable laundry washing.[0006]The drum may be rotata...
