  • Patent number: 11384474
    Abstract: A washing machine includes a pin member coupled to an upper side of a cabinet and extending upwardly toward the upper side of the cabinet. The pin member passes through a through hole of a top cover which is engaged by the pin member. When the top cover is moved to the upper side of the cabinet, the through hole is hooked up in a section where the pin member is inclined upward. Accordingly, it is possible to restrict the top cover from moving to the upper side of the cabinet by a predetermined distance or more. The washing machine includes a fixing bracket that is laterally coupled to the lower flange of the cabinet to which the pin member is coupled.
