Abstract: A storage container and a clothes treating machine having the same are described. A discharge inclined portion is formed on a lower side of a storage container. The discharge inclined portion is inclined from one side to another side in a lengthwise direction. Therefore, a clothes treatment agent accommodated in the storage container can flow from the one side to the another side along the discharge inclined portion. Also, a check valve is partially accommodated in a space partially surrounded by the second bottom surface, so as to allow the clothes treatment agent collected in the space to be discharged. Accordingly, an amount of clothes treatment agents remaining inside the storage container can be minimized.

Abstract: A support member and a clothes treating machine having the same are described. A support member supports a dispenser assembly, in which a drawer is inserted, from a rear side. The support member is inserted through a rear surface of a housing. A support hollow portion is formed in one side of the support member facing the dispenser assembly. A rear protrusion of the dispenser assembly is inserted into the support hollow portion. With the configuration, a rear side of the dispenser assembly is supported by the support member. Therefore, the dispenser assembly can be stably supported. Also, a support rib portion extends from an outer circumference of the support member in a lengthwise direction. Accordingly, rigidity of the support member in the lengthwise direction can be reinforced. Therefore, the support rib portion can stably support the dispenser assembly.
