Abstract
A dispensing tank is used in a washing machine with an automatic dispensing function. The dispensing tank includes: a small window forming an opening on the upper surface of the tank; and a window cover that can be opened and closed to cover the small window. The window cover is mounted to the upper surface of the dispensing tank via a hinge axis, and can rotate about the hinge axis from a closed state to a fully open state parallel to the horizontal plane. On the upper surface of the dispensing tank, on the side opposite to the hinge axis and the small window, a seat surface is provided for supporting the window cover in its fully open state.
