| 20080295545 | Dynamic Vibration Absorber - A dynamic vibration absorber for a washing machine is provided. The dynamic vibration absorber for a washing machine includes: a mass body; at least one elastic body for supporting the mass body so that the mass body may vibrate; and a guider for limiting a motion of the mass body, wherein the dynamic vibration absorber is attached to the washing machine generating a vibration upon operating to reduce the vibration of the washing machine. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090044574 | Drum-type washing machine - A drum-type washing machine is disclosed, in which bearings are received in the bearing housing assembly. The bearing housing assembly may include a support portion coupled to a motor, and a coupling portion connected to a damper bracket. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090211310 | WASHING MACHINE - A washing machine in accordance with the present invention includes a mounting member disposed between a stator and a bearing housing. Thus, when a motor is rotated according to an operation of the washing machine, the transmission of vibration, which is generated by a repulsive force of the stator, to the bearing housing can be reduced efficiently. Accordingly, a tub coupled to the bearing housing can be prevented from vibrating due to the vibration of the stator, and noise due to the vibration of the tub can be reduced. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100024137 | WASHING MACHINE AND WASHING METHOD THEREFOR - A washing machine and washing method therefor are provided. In the washing method, in which a drum of a drum type washing machine is rotated in a first direction, the method includes applying a first directional torque to the drum so that laundry in the drum is rotated and lifted; braking the drum so that the laundry is dropped; and then again applying the first directional torque to the drum so that the dropped laundry is rotated and lifted again. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100043827 | Diswasher and controlling method of the same - Dishwashers and methods of control for operation of dishwashers are disclosed. The dishwasher can include one or more racks in a washing compartment for placing used dishes having foreign matter, such as food and drink, and unused dishes having relatively little or no foreign matter and varying washing loads. Operation of the dishwasher can include wash, water drain and supply, and rinse cycles. During the cycles, preheating of a steam generator, water draining and supplying, steam supplying, and water spraying can occur and partially or fully overlap. The dishwasher can reduce excessive washing of dishes having small washing loads and improve power and water consumption. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100043844 | Dishwasher - A dishwasher is disclosed, by which efficiency in washing tableware difficult to be washed through water spray can be raised. The present invention includes a cabinet, a washtub provided within the cabinet to wash tableware therein, and a steam supplier enabling either steam or superheated steam to be selectively supplied to the washtub. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100043847 | DISHWASHER - A water flow control device for an appliance includes a sump to collect water from a washtub, a supply passage to supply water from the sump to the washtub, a drain passage, coupled to the sump to discharge water; and a disposer to dispose contaminates in water from the sump. The disposer is in fluid communication with the drain passage but not the supply passage. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100050465 | OPERATING METHOD FOR DRUM TYPE LAUNDRY MACHINE - An operating method for a drum type laundry machine including a drum ( | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100058543 | WASHING MACHINE AND WASHING METHOD THEREFOR - A washing machine and washing method therefor are provided. The washing method may include applying a first directional torque to a drum so that laundry in the drum is rotated in a first direction and lifted to a maximum height greater than half a height of the drum, braking the drum so that the laundry is dropped, applying a second directional torque to the drum so that the dropped laundry is rotated in a second direction and lifted to a maximum height greater than half a height of the drum, and braking the drum so that the laundry is dropped. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100139010 | Washing Machine System And Washing Method - A system including an enclosure of a washing machine, a drum within the enclosure, a mixing unit, within the enclosure but separate from the drum and in fluid communication with the drum, a water supply unit coupled to the mixing unit, a reservoir having a conduit fluidly coupled to the mixing unit, and a container connecting assembly configured to fix a spout of a container to the reservoir. An apparatus including a reservoir, external to a washing machine, to receive a liquid wash aid, a container connecting assembly coupled to the reservoir and configured to fix a spout of a container containing liquid wash aid to the reservoir, a flexible conduit to pass liquid wash aid from the reservoir to the washing machine, and a wash aid control unit connected to the flexible conduit and adapted to meter a flow of liquid wash aid from the reservoir to the washing machine. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100205753 | WASHING MACHINE AND WASHING METHOD - A washing machine and associated washing method are provided. The washing machine may include a cabinet, a drum rotatably installed in the cabinet, and a spray nozzle provided inside the cabinet to spray washing fluid into the drum. A spraying direction of the spray nozzle may be varied based on a rotation direction of the drum to improve washing performance of the washing machine. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100242186 | WASHING MACHINE AND WASHING METHOD - A washing machine and an associated washing method are provided. The method may include supplying washing fluid into a drum containing laundry, repeatedly dropping the laundry while rotating the drum in a predetermined direction, and drawing the laundry towards or separating the laundry from the inner circumferential surface of the drum by repeatedly accelerating and decelerating the drum. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100252080 | DISHWASHER - A dishwasher is provided, in which a plurality of filters are modularized to extend their effective area and improve their efficiency. The dishwasher includes a tub formed at an inside of the cabinet, forming a washing space where the dishes are washed; and a sump assembly provided at a lower side of the tub and provided with a filter chamber to which a filter module is inserted. The filter module filters the washing water, and includes a plurality of drainage filters. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110041566 | DRUM-TYPE WASHING MACHINE - A drum-type washing machine is disclosed, in which bearings are received in the bearing housing assembly. The bearing housing assembly may include a support portion coupled to a motor, and a coupling portion connected to a damper bracket. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110062839 | LAUNDRY TREATING APPARATUS - The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet forming an external appearance of the laundry treating apparatus, the cabinet having a laundry entrance opening for introducing laundry therethrough, a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet for opening and closing the laundry entrance opening, a hook provided at the door, and a door switch provided at the cabinet such that the hook can be latched to the door switch to prevent the door from being opened.
