Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A laundry machine comprising:
a housing provided between a washing tub unit and a mounting surface, on which a cabinet containing the washing tub unit is installed; and dynamic vibration absorbers provided to the housing, and configured to offset vibration transmitted from the washing tub unit.
2 . The laundry machine according to claim 1 , wherein each of the dynamic vibration absorbers includes:
a mass body having a designated mass; and elastic members configured to elastically suspend the mass body.
3 . The laundry machine according to claim 1 , wherein:
the housing includes side panels forming respective outer walls; and the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided between the side panels.
4 . The laundry machine according to claim 3 , wherein the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided adjacent to an upper surface of the housing.
5 . The laundry machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a moving body received in the housing or drawn out of the housing.
