DEWATERING-CUM-WASHING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a filter mechanism capable of eliminating a function fault caused by the deposition of a detergent and lint. SOLUTION: The filter mechanism 39 detachably attached to the inner wall 38 of a washing-cum-dehydrating tub 32 includes a circulation opening 40c which is arranged in the sidewall of the washing-cum-dehydrating tub 32 so as to pass washing water in response to a water stream, to which a filter attachment member 40 integrated with a filter 41 for catching the lint is removably attached. A chevron shape projection 38f for guiding the washing water to the filter 41 in response to the internal water stream of the washing-cum-dehydrating tub 32 is arranged in the sidewall 37 of the washing-cum-dehydrating tub 32 with the filter attachment member 40 attached thereto. Then, an operation fault caused by the deposition of the detergent and the adhesion of the lint or the like, and turning fault caused by a thermal deformation in using warm water are eliminated. Consequently, lint catching performance is improved by allowing the washing water to reliably flow-in, and also the number of components and assembling man-hour are reduced.
