A noise leakage preventing device for a clothes treating apparatus is provided. The device may include a base located at a lower portion of a cabinet and forming a bottom surface of the clothes treating apparatus, and a noise blocking rim attached along a periphery of a lower surface of the base and located between the base and the ground. The noise blocking rim may prevent noise generated from the clothes treating apparatus from being transferred or emitted out the base.

A laundry treating apparatus is provided. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. Each of the first and second moving masses includes a single mass made of a metal material or a mass in which a plurality of thin metal plates are coupled to overlap each other, and the first moving mass has a mass greater than that of the second moving mass.

The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, a tub accommodating the drum, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a support plate coupled to the cabinet, a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet, and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. A support comes into line or point contact with a bottom surface of the first moving mass so that the first moving mass has reduced attenuation ratio in comparison to the second moving mass.

The dynamic absorber includes a support plate coupled to the cabinet, a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet, and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. To absorb the oscillation, a time point at which the second moving mass starts relative motion with respect to the support plate is different from that at which the first moving mass starts relative motion with respect to the support plate.

The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, a tub accommodating the drum, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a support plate coupled to the cabinet, a moving mass provided on the support plate, and a slider interposed between the moving mass and the support plate to apply a frictional force to attenuate a reciprocating motion of the moving mass.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance, such as a washing machine, having a cabinet defining an interior and defining an access opening. A lid can be movably mounted relative to the cabinet to selectively open or close the access opening. A tub can be located within the interior and the tub can contain a rotatably mounted drum, such as a horizontally rotatable drum, including a flexible fabric material.
