ABSTRACT:
A filter for a washing machine is disclosed. The filter includes a pocket type filter having a front panel attached with a mesh net to one side thereof for filtering fluff intermingled in the washing water, a rear panel for forming a predetermined space with the front panel by being coupled to the front panel by means of a hinge shaft to be opened/closed while being attached with a mesh net for filtering the fluff intermingled in the washing water to one side thereof, and a check valve fixed to the lower side of the rear panel for confining the flow of the washing water introduced into the space between the front panel and the rear panel, and a filter case attached to an inner lower portion of a dehydrating tub of the washing machine for forming a predetermined space with the dehydrating tub, having an attachment portion for being attached to the dehydrating tub and a filter receiving portion formed with an opening portion to be inserted with the pocket type filter from the preceding side thereof, whereby the front panel of the pocket type filter and the filter case form a frontal shape such as a continuous curved shape. According to the present invention as described above, since the pocket type filter and the filter case form a continuous curved shape when the pocket type filter is secured in the filter receiving portion of the filter case, the frontal shape prevents the laundry from damage during the washing or rinsing cycle.
