Abstract
A laundry treating apparatus may include a tub, a drum, a driving system including a bearing housing and a driving motor for rotating a rotation shaft of the drum, supporting devices extending between a lower surface of the cabinet and the bearing housing, and a plurality of dampers installed between the supporting devices and the lower surface of the cabinet. The plurality of dampers may include first dampers extending inward from a front portion of the supporting devices toward the lower surface of the cabinet, and second dampers extending downward from the supporting devices toward the rear side of the cabinet. This arrangement may prevent vibration generated during rotation of the drum from being transferred to the tub, and thus an additional component for reducing vibration of the tub may not be required. Thus, the laundry treating apparatus may have a larger capacity within a fixed size of cabinet.
