AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing washing machines face challenges in holding a treatment agent case without causing deformation of the holding portion.
Method used
The washing machine design includes a treatment agent case with a laterally protruding convex portion and a storage section with a concave portion that spaces apart from the protrusion, preventing pressure on the holding portion during insertion.
Benefits of technology
This configuration suppresses deformation of the holding portion while securely housing the treatment agent case, enhancing operational ease and durability.

Abstract
To provide a washing machine capable of suppressing deformation of a holding part while holding in a state where a treatment agent case is stored.SOLUTION: A washing machine includes: a washing tub for storing laundry; a treatment agent case for storing a treatment agent to be supplied to the washing tub; and a storage part for storing the treatment agent case in a drawable manner. In the treatment agent case, a case side protrusion part is provided protruding to the lateral side from the outside surface. On an inside surface of the storage part, a holding part is provided opposed to the outside surface of the treatment agent case. The holding part includes a storage part side recessed part opposed to and separated from the protrusion part in a state where the treatment agent case is stored in the storage part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
