- the protrusion 234 of the first portion 231 pushes the head 226 toward the pedestal 210 so that the bottom side of the head portion 225 can adhere closely to the topside of the pedestal 210 .
- the washing machine can be stably fixed to the pedestal 210 .
- a washing machine provided with the above-configured pedestal assembly 200 according to the present invention is operated as described below.
- a laundry is put in the drum 320 and the door 135 is closed. In doing so, a user can easily put the laundry in the drum via the door 135 without bending his or her body since the pedestal 210 is provided below the case 100 of the washing machine.
- the control panel 150 is then operated.
- the water supply system 340 supplies a predetermined amount of water and detergent to the drum 320 .
- the laundry is lifted by the tumbling rib 325 to fall. In doing so, the laundry is washed by the generated impact power and the chemical reaction of detergent.
- the drain system 350 discharges the used water of the drum 320 and tub 310 .
- the water supply system 340 supplies water to the drum 320 .
- the drum 320 is then rotated to rinse the laundry.
- the drain system 350 discharges the water of the drum 310 . In this case, at least one washing cycle is carried out.
- the drum 320 After completion of the rinsing cycle, the drum 320 is rotated at a high speed so that water is separated from the laundry by a centrifugal force. After the completion of the dewatering cycle, a user pulls the washed and dewatered laundry out of the washing machine via the door 135 . If a drying function is further provided to the washing machine, hot air is supplied to the drum 320 to completely dry the laundry after completion of the dewatering cycle. The user is then provided with completely dried laundry.
- the vibrations generated from the washing machine during the above-explained operation are transferred to the leg 220 attached to the lower part of the case 100 .
- the vertical vibration among the vibrations transferred to the leg 220 is absorbed in the pad 239 and the housing 227 , whereas the horizontal vibration is effectively attenuated by the bracket 239 having elasticity.
- the washing machine 210 is prevented from slipping on the pedestal 210 as the bracket 230 stably holds the corresponding leg 220 .
- the present invention has the following advantages or effects.
- the pedestal assembly raises the levels of the washing machine including the door, thereby facilitating a user to put/pull a laundry in/from the drum without bending his body.
- the leg of the washing machine is fitted in the slot of the bracket and the bracket is then fixed to the pedestal using the locking member.
- installation can be done conveniently and easily.
- the entire elements of the pedestal assembly can be reused.
- the pad and housing enabling to absorb the vibration are provided to the leg, thereby enabling effective absorption of the vibrations occurring in the washing machine.
- the bracket makes the head portion of the leg adhere closely to the pedestal and a plurality of the brackets prevent the washing machine from slipping in a horizontal direction. Therefore, the washing machine is stably fixed to the pedestal without slipping thereon.
- the concave recess and protrusion which are correspondingly provided to the pedestal and the bracket, respectively, prevent the bracket from being shaken or the coupling portion from being loosened. Furthermore, the concave recess and protrusion determine the loading position of the bracket, thereby enabling a quick load of the bracket thereon.
- the present invention is applicable to a washing machine having a door provided to its topside as well as a washing machine having a door provided to its front side. Furthermore, the present invention is applicable to such a home appliance as a dryer and the like as well as a washing machine.
