The laundry treating apparatus includes a door to open and close the introduction port about a first rotational or a second rotational axis which is different from first rotational axis A first switching unit is provided in the door to allow rotation of door about the first rotational axis, and a second switching unit is provided in the door to allow rotation of the door about the second rotational axis A lock fixes a position of at least one of the first switching unit or second switching unit when the door opens the introduction port As can be appreciated, the mechanism used for the laundry apparatus may be applicable to other home appliances or non-home appliances where two different rotational axes may be needed to open and close a door

Laundry treating apparatus

A drum type washing machine is provided. The washing machine may include a tub, a drum, a motor rotating the drum, bearing housings housing bearings to support a rotation shaft, a suspension connected to the bearing housings and a cabinet to mitigate vibration, a bracket coupled to the bearing housings, and a gasket installed between the bracket and the tub. Such an arrangement may allow volumes of the tub and the drum may be increased without increasing the volume of the cabinet.

Drum-type washing machine and bearing housing structure thereof

A heating apparatus of a washing machine and a washing method thereof. The heating apparatus includes a circulation channel installed outside a tub for connecting one side of the tub to the other side of the tub, and an orifice, water drop supply device for supplying water, an air blower for circulating the water, and a heater, which are sequentially installed in the circulation channel. The heating apparatus supplies steam or hot wind to the tub in a washing or rinsing operation, thereby improving the washing capacity of the washing machine, minimizing the time taken to perform the washing or rinsing operation and an energy consumption rate, and allows the washing machine to perform a drying operation using hot wind without any additional element, thereby diversifying its functions and minimizing production costs.

Heating apparatus of washing machine and washing method thereof

A drum washing machine is provided to automatically wash out dirt on the door of the washing machine upon an operation of the washing machine. The drum washing machine comprises a cabinet having a door unit; a tub disposed inside the cabinet, the tub being configured to store water; a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub; and a circulator for simultaneously or selectively spraying wash water into the drum and toward the door unit.

Water feed equipment is provided for an appliance operable with water comprising two valve-controlled water inlets operable at a time to direct a respective jet of water towards the entrance of a respective one of two collecting channels and operable in common to direct respective jets of water toward a point of intersection for formation of a jet toward the entrance of a third collecting channel, and a further valve-controlled water inlet operable by itself to direct a respective water jet toward the entrance of a fourth channel and operable in common with one of the first two jets to direct a jet toward a point of intersection with the jet from that one inlet for formation of a further resultant jet which is directed towards the entrance of a fifth collecting channel.

As a result of being made of concrete, or heavy spar, additional ballast weights can be dispensed with in the case of this detergent-container. It can be produced by simple means in the most suitable rotary design that the dimensions of the housing of the machine can be essentially determined by the dimensions of the detergent-container. The wall-thickness of the container can be adjusted to the desired balance of the suspended or elastically supported drum-aggregate, the container supplying the necessary stable weight of the machine, pref. in suh a way that the centre of gravity of the rotary system falls into the rotary axis of the drum. by comparison with steel containers and cast loading-weights, material costs are reduced and sound and heat insulation of the detergent-container improved.

Monitor for the liq. flow system in (dish) washing machines has a leak water collection chamber provided in the trough-shaped equipment base. A float is arranged in the collection chamber and actuates a switch circuit, when leak water is entering the equipment base, to close the inlet valve to the machine and/or emit a warning signal. An actuating lever is pref. placed on the float. A magnet is provided to actuate the switch circuit by the actuating lever lifted in the region of attraction of the magnet by the float. The effective monitoring system for leak water or overflow prevents damage to the rooms housing the machines.

A washing machine features a conical, water-tight drum a horizontal and hollow drum shaft, a detergent flushing tub and a washing soln circulation pump. The drum is double-wall double-walled, consisting of a cylindrical, perforated inner wall and a conical outer jacket, which envelopes the inner one. Between the two walls, there are washing soln spaces connected to each other. The outer drum jacket forms dome-like spaces sepd from each other so far as the washing soln flow is concerned. It forms the spaces with the help of its sole end plane and the front side of the inner drum wall. ADVANTAGE - The washing soln is merely supplied and conveyed into the outflow system at the end of the washing process -a permanent continuous circulation during the washing cycles is not possible.

Casing-fed drum-type washing machine having a tub (2) which receives its washing drum and which is connected via a concertina (4) to an appliance frame (8) forming the machine topside. In order to make the tub (2)/concertina (4)/appliance-frame (8) connection more elastic, the concertina (4) is held slidably or guided longitudinally movably on the appliance frame (8) on two mutually opposite sides (9) and is held rigidly on the other two sides (10) by means of a clamping fastening, and a compression space (11) for the concertina (4) is formed in the respective corner region of the appliance frame (8) in which the deflection of the concertina (4) merges from the sliding hold into the rigid hold.
