20090272153 | Washing Machine - A washing machine which is designed for preparing hot water, having a water tank connected to an external water supply, and having a control and communication unit for controlling a process for preparing hot water and for communicating with an external unit, wherein the external unit is designed for providing information regarding energy costs for operating the washing machine, and the control and communication unit is designed such that it is possible to activate the process for preparing hot water in the water tank as a function of the information provided by the external unit. | 11-05-2009 |
20090159584 | Cooking Appliance which is Mounted in an Elevated Manner - A cooking appliance which is mounted in an elevated manner, which comprises at least one muffle which defines a cooking chamber and which comprises a muffle opening which is on the base thereof, a base door which can be displaced and which is used to close the muffle opening, comprising at least one heating field on the upper side thereof and at least one operational state for the open state, wherein the heating field is at least partially connected. The cooking appliance which is mounted in an elevated manner comprises a displacing locking device, which prevents the open base door from being displaced when in the activated operational mode for the open state. | 06-25-2009 |
20080256986 | Friction Damper Device for a Washing Machine - A washing machine contains a friction damper device for a washing unit comprising a tub, a washing drum which is rotationally mounted in the tub and a drive for the washing drum. The washing unit is supported in an elastic manner by at least one damper counter to a lower frame part of the housing. In order to prevent the vibratory behavior of the oscillating unit from being influenced above the rotational speed of the resonance, the friction in the damper above the rotational speed of the resonance can be reduced. As a result, at least one friction covering which interacts directly on a piston rod of the damper is pretensed by an energy store counter to the piston rod and can be displaced away from the piston rod by activating an actuator. | 10-23-2008 |
