20090038652 | FILTER ASSEMBLY AND DISHWASHER HAVING THE SAME - Provided are a filter assembly for a dishwasher and a dishwasher having the same. In the filter assembly for the dishwasher and the dishwasher having the same, since a cylindrical filter unit is formed through a plate filter unit, the entire area of an inside of a filter frame can be implemented as a filtering area where foreign materials contained in water circulating toward dishes to be washed up are filtered off. Accordingly, the extended filtering area can increase an amount of water supplied onto the dishes, thus to enhance an efficiency of water circulation. Also, a possibility that a filter is blocked due to foreign materials covering all over the filtering area can remarkably be reduced. Since the cylindrical filter unit is formed through the plate filter unit, the entire size of the filter assembly can be decreased with maintaining the filtering area of the filter assembly. Hence, no great installation space for a compact dishwasher is required, thereby facilitating the installation of the dishwasher. | 02-12-2009 |
20090038653 | WATER VAPOR VENT STRUCTURE FOR DISHWASHER AND DISHWASHER HAVING THE SAME - Disclosed is a dishwasher having a water vapor vent structure, the water vapor vent structure comprising: an outer cover having one or more water vapor vents, and an inner cover detachably mounted to the outer cover, and having condensation channels for condensing water vapor. As water vapor is made to stay at the condensation channels for a long time, condensation efficiency is enhanced. Accordingly, air inside a kitchen where the dishwasher is installed, etc. is prevented from becoming humid, and agreeable indoor conditions is maintained. | 02-12-2009 |
20090038657 | DISHWASHER RACK AND COMPACT TYPE DISHWASHER HAVING THE SAME - Disclosed is the compact type dishwasher, including: a washing space for accommodating dishes therein, a lower rack disposed inside the washing space, an upper rack disposed above the lower rack, and having a dish collision preventer for preventing a collision with the dishes placed at the lower rack, and a sub-rack mounted at the dish collision preventer so as to utilize a space formed above the dish collision preventer, wherein the sub-rack includes a plurality of first support members and a plurality of second support members crossing the first support members, and at least one concavo-convex portion is formed at the first support members, thereby enhancing utilization of the space above the dish collision preventer of the upper rack as well as meeting a customer's need for minimizing the size of the dishwasher. | 02-12-2009 |
