Washing machine

Abstract

A washing machine, which can prevent the damage to washings and also can improve the cleaning force. The washing machine includes: a washing tank for receiving washings, a water pumping path for pumping water stored in the washing tank from an inlet and spraying the water drawn through a flow path into the washing tank from outlets, a blocking member for blocking the upper end of the flow path, and an impeller for delivering the water stored in the washing tank into the inlet through rotation. The outlets are of a lengthwise slit shape. The impeller is arranged at a bottom of the washing tank in a manner of being separated from washings.
