Abstract
A clothes washing machine has a pulsator and a spurting apparatus for spurting washing water upwardly from the center of the pulsator, so as to disperse laundry gathered thereabove. The spurting apparatus has at least one guide duct and a spurt cap. The guide duct is fixed to an underside of the pulsator so as to rotate together with the pulsator. The washing water is introduced into a radially outer end of the guide duct and guided toward the center of the pulsator. The spurt cap disposed at the center of the pulsator guides the washing water upwardly.
