Abstract:
The present invention relates to a washing device. The washing device comprises: a case; a tub supported by the case, the tub having a laundry entrance hole for taking laundry in or out in a front portion thereof and an external-air inflow hole for introducing external air therethrough; an external-air inflow tube passing through the case and connected to the external-air inflow hole so as to guide the external air outside the case into the external-air inflow hole; a drum having a laundry entrance hole corresponding to the laundry entrance hole of the tub, the drum being rotatably installed within the tub; a shaft connected to a rear portion of the drum; a bearing housing rotatably supporting the shaft; and a suspension assembly for decreasing the vibration of the drum and of a driving part comprising a motor for rotating the shaft. Thus, the washing device may be structured for increased washing capacity, and a pressurized environment within the tub may be improved so as to prevent the drum from being moved forward.
