A clothes washing machine has a pulsator and a spurting apparatus for spurting washing water upwardly from the center of the pulsator, so as to disperse laundry gathered thereabove. The spurting apparatus has at least one guide duct and a spurt cap. The guide duct is fixed to an underside of the pulsator so as to rotate together with the pulsator. The washing water is introduced into a radially outer end of the guide duct and guided toward the center of the pulsator. The spurt cap disposed at the center of the pulsator guides the washing water upwardly.

Clothes washing machine having a water-ejecting pulsator

In a clothes washing machine, washing water is caused to spurt upwardly from the center of a pulsator, so as to disperse laundry gathered above the center of the pulsator. A washing water spurting apparatus includes guide ducts mounted on an underside of the pulsator. Each guide duct has an upper case, a lower case, and a first assembling mechanism for easily assembling and detaching the upper case and the lower case to and from each other. There is also a second assembling mechanism for assembling the guide duct to the underside of the pulsator so that the guide duct can rotate together with the pulsator.
