Abstract

The present invention comprises: an inner tub for receiving laundry; a first pulsator rotatably disposed in the inner tub; a body which has a ring shape and is coupled to the first pulsator; and a second pulsator having a cover which is disposed on the body, wherein each of the body and the cover has multiple arc-shaped members arranged in order along a circle, thereby facilitating the service work by the second pulsator.

1 . A washing machine, comprising:
 an inner tub in which fabrics are accepted;   a first pulsator rotatably disposed in the inner tub;   a second pulsator comprising a body which has a ring shape and is coupled to the first pulsator and a cover disposed over the body,   wherein each of the body and the cover has a plurality of arc-shaped members sequentially disposed along a circle.   
     
     
         2 . The washing machine of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of arc-shaped members has a central angle of more than 90° and less than 180°. 
     
     
         3 . The washing machine of  claim 1 , further comprising a balancer disposed over the inner tub, wherein:
 an outer diameter of the first pulsator is smaller than an inner diameter of the balancer, and the outer diameter of the second pulsator is greater than the inner diameter of the balancer.   
     
     
         4 . The washing machine of  claim 1 , wherein a connection part coupled to a connector is formed in each of the plurality of arc-shaped members of the body. 
     
     
         5 . The washing machine of  claim 1 , wherein a fastening part fixed by a fastening member is formed in each of the plurality of arc-shaped members of the body. 
     
     
         6 . The washing machine of  claim 1 , wherein a fastening part fixed to the first pulsator by a fastening member is formed in each of the plurality of arc-shaped members of the body. 
     
     
         7 . A washing machine, comprising:
 an inner tub in which fabrics are accepted;   a balancer disposed over the inner tub;   a first pulsator comprising a main pulsator plate rotatably disposed in the inner tub and a main pulsator cover disposed over the main pulsator plate; and   a second pulsator comprising a body which has a ring shape in which a hollow portion facing at least part of the main pulsator plate has been formed and is coupled to the main pulsator plate and a cover disposed over the body,   wherein an outer diameter of the first pulsator is smaller than an inner diameter of the balancer,   an outer diameter of the second pulsator is greater than the inner diameter of the balancer, and   each of the body and the cover has a plurality of arc-shaped members sequentially disposed along a circle.   
     
     
         8 . The washing machine of  claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of arc-shaped members has a central angle of more than 90° and less than 180°. 
     
     
         9 . The washing machine of  claim 7 , wherein a connection part coupled to a connector is formed in each of the plurality of arc-shaped members of the body. 
     
     
         10 . The washing machine of  claim 7 , wherein a fastening part fixed by a fastening member is formed in each of the plurality of arc-shaped members of the body. 
     
     
         11 . The washing machine of  claim 7 , wherein a fastening part fixed to the first pulsator by a fastening member is formed in each of the plurality of arc-shaped members of the body.
