Washing/drying machine

Abstract

Disclosed is the washing/drying machine, including: a cabinet forming an outer aspect of a washing/drying machine, a cover forming at least a portion of a front surface of the cabinet, and a control panel disposed at the cover and having a variety of buttons, wherein the control panel is mounted at the control panel mounting portion formed at the cover while pressing the flange formed at an upper end of the cover, thereby simultaneously coupling the cover and the control panel in one operation, thus to simplify an assembly process and increase productivity.

1 . A washing/drying machine, comprising:
 a cabinet forming an outer aspect of a washing/drying machine;   a cover forming at least a portion of a front surface of the cabinet; and   a control panel disposed at the cover and having a variety of buttons,   wherein the control panel is mounted at a control panel mounting portion formed at an upper portion of the cover.   
   
   
       2 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 1 , wherein the control panel is fixed by a hook formed at the cover. 
   
   
       3 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 2 , wherein a panel flange formed at an upper portion of the control panel is fixed between the hook and an upper edge of the control panel mounting portion. 
   
   
       4 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a knob deco coupling means for coupling a knob deco to a knob hole of the control panel,   wherein the knob hole for mounting a rotary knob is formed at the control panel, and a knob deco disposed at a periphery of the rotary knob for indicating a manipulation of the rotary knob is formed at the knob hole.   
   
   
       5 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 4 , wherein the knob deco coupling means is implemented as a hook formed around the knob hole of the control panel so as to fix the knob deco. 
   
   
       6 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 1 , wherein a display window for installing a display is formed at the control panel, and the display having touch-sensitive buttons is mounted at the display window. 
   
   
       7 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 6 , wherein a window flange is formed at an edge of the display, a lower end of the window flange is inserted to the control panel, and an upper end thereof is coupled by the hook formed at the control panel. 
   
   
       8 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 1 , wherein the flange of the cover is formed at an edge of the control panel mounting portion. 
   
   
       9 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 8 , wherein a panel flange is formed at an edge of the control panel, and a plurality of coupling holes are formed at the panel flange. 
   
   
       10 . The washing/drying machine of  claim 9 , wherein the cover is formed of a stainless steel material, and implemented in one body.
