Abstract (en)
A drum type washing machine including axially-extending lifters (20) arranged around an inner peripheral surface of a rotatable tub (3) which is upwardly inclined to allow easy laundry loading and unloading operations. The lifters each have a width gradually reducing as it extends from its rear end to its front end. Each lifter includes water spray holes at a top portion thereof. The water spray holes (23) are longitudinally arranged in rows at the top portion (21) of the lifter, and corresponding water spray holes in respective rows are laterally aligned. A width-enlarged portion (24) is provided at a front end of each lifter so that wash water is effectively sprayed through the water spray holes at the front end portion of the lifter arranged at a relatively high level. Opposite side surfaces of each lifter have a planar or curved surface structure. <IMAGE>
