    摘要: The present invention relates to a coupling system for fitting and attaching of a removable internal basket for a washing machine. The washing machine comprises a removable washing compartment configured to be mounted in the washing machine. The washing machine includes at least one convex protrusion or at least one concave groove across a portion of an inner side surface, and the removable washing compartment includes the other of at least one convex protrusion or at least one concave groove across a portion of an outer side surface. The balancing device includes a smooth surface portion across a portion of the inner side wall and the removable washing compartment includes a complimentary smooth surface portion across a portion of an outer side surface. When the removable washing compartment is mounted in the washing machine, the smooth surface portion on the inner side wall aligns with the smooth surface portion on the outer surface of the removable washing compartment and the at least one convex protrusion nests with the at least one concave groove such that the surface of the convex protrusion contacts the surface of the concave groove.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a laundry treating apparatus. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a tub for receiving washing-water therein; a first drum rotatably disposed within the tub; a second drum disposed in the first drum so as to be attachable or detachable to or from the first drum, wherein washing of a laundry by the second drum is performed separately from washing of a laundry by the first drum; and a guide rib projected from an upper portion of a inner circumferential face of the second drum toward a center of the second drum, wherein the guide rib is constructed to guide wash-water rising up via a rotational force of the second drum to flow toward a center of the second drum and then to fall down.
