20080216519 | FOREIGN MATERIALS FILTERING APPARATUS AND WASHING MACHINE HAVING THE SAME - In a foreign materials filtering apparatus and a washing machine having the same, a filter cover is installed at a washing water circulating duct disposed inside a washing tub, and a net filter is installed at an inner side of the filter cover. Accordingly, the net filter is prevented from directly contacting laundry, thereby preventing the not filter and the laundry from being damaged. Furthermore, since the net filter is covered by the filter cover, the entire appearance is enhanced. Additionally, when the net filter is mounted at the filter cover, the filter unit becomes modularized to be facilitate a detachable mounting. | 09-11-2008 |
20080216520 | FOREIGN MATERIALS FILTERING APPARATUS AND WASHING MACHINE HAVING THE SAME - Disclosed are a foreign materials filtering apparatus and a washing machine having the same. Since a filter cover unit and a filter unit are integrally modularized with each other, a user can separate or mount the filter unit from/to a washing water circulating duct by separating or mounting the filter cover unit from/to the washing water circulating duct. Accordingly, the foreign materials filtering apparatus can be easily detachably mounted at the washing water circulating duct. | 09-11-2008 |
20080216522 | FOREIGN MATERIALS FILTERING APPARATUS AND WASHING MACHINE HAVING THE SAME - In a foreign materials filtering apparatus and a washing machine having the same, owing to a detachable mounting structure between a handle and a front filter and between a rear filter and the front filter, foreign materials collected in a foreign materials filtering space can be easily cleaned. Accordingly, can be solved the conventional problem that a net filter has to be kept inside out at the time of a cleaning process, resulting in causing a user's hands to become dirty. Also, can be solved the conventional problem that there is a difficulty in removing foreign materials from the net filter due to a fibrous characteristic of the net filter. | 09-11-2008 |
20080216523 | FOREIGN MATERIALS FILTERING APPARATUS - In a foreign materials filtering apparatus for a washing machine, a filter unit is not exposed to inside of a washing tub thus not to directly come in contact with laundry. Accordingly, the filter unit and laundry are prevented from being damaged, and the entire appearance is enhanced. Additionally, the foreign materials filtering apparatus is modularized to facilitate a detachable mounting, thereby enhancing the user's convenience. | 09-11-2008 |
20080217243 | METHOD FOR CLEANING FOREIGN MATERIALS FILTERING APPARATUS - In a method for cleaning the foreign materials filtering, foreign materials collected in a foreign materials filtering space can be easily removed under a filter unit is separated from or is mounted at a filter cover unit. As a result, can be solved the conventional problems that a net filter has to be kept inside out at the time of a cleaning process to cause a user's hands to become dirty, and there is a difficulty in removing foreign materials from the net filter due to a fibrous characteristic of the net filter. Accordingly, a cleaning operation for the foreign materials filtering apparatus can be facilitated. | 09-11-2008 |
