Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2218815A1] A washing machine comprises a cabinet into which a tub (1) is mounted containing a rotatable drum (2), between the cabinet and the tub (1) being installed a deformable tubular device (10) made of fabric for allowing the load and unload of clothes through aligned apertures in the cabinet, in the tub (1) and in the drum (2) and for preventing water spillage outside the tub (1). The use of a bellow-shaped fabric instead of a traditional rubber bellow decreases the transmission of vibrations towards the cabinet.
