Abstract
An improved gasket () for a drum-type washing machine comprises a front flange () and a rear flange (). Between the front flange () and the rear flange (), a first substantially U-shaped section () connects to the front flange () and a second section () connects said first section () and the rear flange (), wherein said second section () has a substantially flat contour at a lower position and increasingly curves outwardly from the axis from the lower position to a lateral position while decreasingly curves outwardly from the axis from the lateral position to an upper position opposite to said lower position. In such a configuration, said gasket () can absorb the greater vibration occurred in the lateral position in a normal washing operation process.
