Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A laundry machine is provided, in which a displacement of a drum may be relatively smaller in a left-and-right direction than in other directions. To this end, a suspension assembly may be configured such that a stiffness thereof for the displacement of the drum is greater in the left-and-right direction than in an up-and-down or front-and-rear direction. Thus, a laundry machine having an enlarged capacity is provided.
