PURPOSE:To prevent degrading in the performance of a vibration preventing mechanism by providing a suspending rod with a water blocking body at an upper part of the vibration preventing mechanism to prevent water from dropping on the vibration prevention mechanism in a dewatering/washing machine in which a washing receiving tank supported through the vibration preventing mechanism at lower parts of the suspending rods mounted at upper parts of a machine frame. CONSTITUTION:In a dewatering/washing machine, suspending rods 2 are mounted at upper four corners of a machine frame 1 and a washing receiving tank 3 is supported through a vibration preventing mechanism 1 mounted at the lower ends of the suspending rods 2. A washing/dewatering tank 5 having a rotary blade 6 on the bottom thereof is spherically slidably supported in the washing receiving tank 3 free to rotate. The vibration prevention mechanism 4 supports a hollow closed support device 9 on a bracket 10 provided in the washing receiving tank 3 and an inverted plate-shaped slide plate provided at the lower end part of the suspending rods 2 is fitted into the support device 9. In this case, an umbrella- like water blocking body 30 made of rubber is fitted into the suspending rods 2 at an upper part of the vibration prevention mechanism 4 and the lower end part 32 is fixed closely overlapping the top part of the support device 9, thereby ensuring water proofing property of the vibration prevention mechanism 4.
