That is, vibrations of different washing machines (hereafter called “samples”), in which various parameters generally known to be effective for vibration are varied, are measured in spinning processes in which vibration can cause the most serious problem.
  • samples vibrations of different washing machines
  • EQP/2 vibration measuring apparatus
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the test result the a right side portion of the cabinet
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a test result at a left side portion of the cabinet.

  • B(Normal) denotes a normal vibration measured at the central portion.
  • Sample 1 denotes a drum washing machine in which a 0.15mm bead depth is added to a general bead depth formed at the side of the cabinet, and the leg pad is formed of butyl rubber as in the related art.

  • Sample 2 denotes a drum washing machine in which bead depth is changed, and material of the leg pad is also the butyl rubber.
  • Sample 2a denotes a washing machine the same as sample 2, except that the material of the leg pad is different.
  • leg pad is very effective for attenuating vibration.
  • the leg pad is designed properly. Therefore, it is preferable that, first of all, the most suitable leg pad, particularly, the most suitable material of the leg pad is used for attenuation of the vibration, and the other vibration attenuation parameters are taken into consideration. According to this, the inventor further studied which the leg pad would be most suitable for vibration attenuation.
  • the leg pad has an excellent vibration attenuating characteristic.
  • the leg pad it is required necessary for it to meet other conditions.
  • its mechanical properties such as hardness, its anti-slip property for preventing the washing machine from moving from an installed place, its formability for ease of fabrication, and the like have to be considered.
  • resonance can occur at a certain range of rotation speed of the washing machine, to cause the washing machine to 'walk' across the floor. If friction with the floor is not adequate, it is liable that the washing machine will move too easily across the floor.
  • leg pad metal, plastic, isobutylene-isoprene rubber, or the like is used, each material has advantages, and disadvantages. Even though metal or plastic, with a comparatively high hardness, has a resonance range outside of the typical rotation speed of the washing machine, it is liable that the leg pad of metal or plastic causes walking of washing machine in almost all ranges of the rotation speed, regardless of the rotation speed. Moreover, the leg pad of metal or plastic is liable to cause slipping of the washing machine because the metal or plastic has low frictional engagement with the floor.
  • the butyl rubber since the butyl rubber has a resonance range coincident with a low rotation speed range of the washing machine, it is required that the washing machine is better to pass this resonance range quickly. Also, the leg pad of butyl rubber is liable to cause walking of the washing machine in the low rotation speed range, even though the walking is comparatively rare at high rotation speeds.
  • the leg pad is preferably formed of a copolymer in which the hard blocks HB and the soft blocks SB make a net form. Because the use of the leg pad of the copolymer of the hard blocks HB and the soft blocks SB enables selection of a material that meets required mechanical properties, such as hardness, i.e., the hard blocks, and a material that meets required vibration attenuation characteristic, i.e. the soft blocks. According to this, the leg pad can be designed comparatively easily to meet the vibration attenuation characteristics while other conditions are also met.
  • a material that has a glass transition is used as the block copolymer, particularly, the soft block.
  • a material of which the glass transition temperature is close to a temperature at which the washing machine is used is better still. While thermal movement in chain forms of polymers in the net becomes violent at higher temperatures than the glass transition temperature, creating a rubbery state, the thermal movement is suppressed at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, and it then becomes glassy due to reduction of its own volume, and has poor vibration attenuation qualities.
  • the leg pad Since amorphous polymers, such as rubber, exhibit the glass transition, it is preferable that rubber is selected as the leg pad.
  • the butyl rubber used presently also exhibits the glass transition.
  • the leg pad is required to have other properties which the butyl rubber, in the form of a copolymer prepared by copolymerizing a small amount of isoprene with isobutylen, cannot meet.
  • the butyl rubber has a glass transition temperature in the range of -40°C ⁇ -60°C, which is substantially lower than the temperature of use of the washing machine.
  • the leg pad of the present invention comprises a block copolymer of hard blocks and soft blocks, wherein the hard blocks are selected with mechanical considerations in mind, and the soft blocks are selected with vibration attenuation in mind.
  • a material is selected as the soft block, of which the glass transition temperature is in the vicinity of the temperature of use of the washing machine.
  • a material is selected for the hard blocks in view of requirements of mechanical properties, such as hardness.
  • the hardness of the leg pad is high.
  • the Shore hardness is approx. 80.
  • the hardness is low, in general, approx. 30 in Shore A hardness.
  • the hard block can be polystyrene
  • the soft block can be polyisoprene, particularly, vinyl-polyisoprene.
  • the block copolymer may be used solely, at least one selected from olefin based thermo plastic resin, ethylene- ⁇ olefin copolymer, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer, ethylene-ethylacrylrate copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer, and styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer may be blended with the block copolymer.
  • olefin based thermo plastic resin ethylene- ⁇ olefin copolymer, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer, ethylene-ethylacrylrate copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer, and styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer may be blended with the block copolymer.
  • additives such as a cross-linker, filler, and/or softener may be introduced into a base material of the block copolymer, that is known to a person skilled in the field of art, of which detailed description will be omitted.
  • the leg pad of the block copolymer of hard block and soft block enables fabrication of a leg pad that satisfies the vibration attenuation characteristic and other required properties very well.
  • the material used in the test is Kuraray Hybrar.
  • the Hybrar a block copolymer of polystyrene and polyisoprene, has a glass transition temperature in the vicinity of room temperature of approx. -19°C ⁇ -8°C.
  • FIG. 7 it is verified that the leg pad of the Hybrar has very good damping properties in the vicinity of room temperature.
  • the material of the leg pad in the sample 1a and the sample 2a is Hybrar.
  • the material suitable for the leg pad is not limited to Hybrar, and any material that satisfies above conditions can be used.
  • the leg pad has, not only an excellent vibration attenuation characteristic, but also excellent formability and workability for the sake of the production costs of the washing machine.
  • Hybrar has a better anti-slip characteristic than butyl rubber, and particularly, maintains good friction even in a watery environment compared to other rubbers.
  • the Hybrar can be used as a thermoplastic resin that can be injection molded or extrusion molded, or a thermosetting resin that can be pressed, the Hybrar also has the advantage of good formability. However, if it is intended to use the Hybrar as the thermosetting resin, a separate cross-linker is required.
  • the leg 5 includes a cylindrical body 52, and a hexagonal head 54 at a bottom end of the body 52. It is preferable that the body 52 has an external thread for easy height adjustment. The head 54 is used for easy turning of the body 52 for adjustment of the height.
  • the leg pad 17 is fitted to a bottom end of the leg 5. Though the leg pad 17 may be fitted to the head 54 of the leg 5 directly, it is preferable that an enlarged base portion 56 may be further formed in a lower portion of the head 54 forming a fitting area for easy fitting.
