AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present laundry treating apparatus has several technical effects: 1. The lifter in the drum is easily formed by injection molding, making it more efficient and cost-effective. 2. The installation of the lifter is not restricted, allowing for easier and more flexible installation. 3. Structural rigidity and aesthetic appearance of the drum are improved as the lifter is minimized. 4. Plural lifters can be easily installed without considering their orientation. 5. The insertion protrusion is positioned inward from the coupling tab, preventing structural weakness and ensuring high rigidity. 6. The fastening boss on the lifter frame ensures increased fastening force when combined with the fastening member.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a disadvantage in that undercutting occurs due to a part of the head vertically overlapping the lifter main body.
