Benefits of technology

[0016]Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine that is capable of supplying circulation water along the inside of a drum in a longitudinal direction of the drum, thereby improving washing or rinsing efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Although the circulation water is supplied to the drum 30, therefore, the circulation water is supplied to only the front part of the drum 30, with the result that the circulation water is not uniformly supplied to the laundry to be washed.
Furthermore, the gasket 50 is provided with the jam preventing member 52, with the result that the assembly process of the gasket 50 is complicated and difficult, and, in addition, the time necessary to manufacture the gasket 50 increases.
