  • Patent number: 6507965
    Abstract: The present invention teaches a washing machine having improved cleaning efficiency by adding a generator of functional waster such as ozone water or electroylzed water to a full-automatic washing machine. The washing machine includes a water supplier for supplying washing water, a washing tub containing the washing water and a laundry, a functional water generator inside the washing tub, and an agitator for agitating the washing water and the laundry. When the washing water supplied to the washing tub reaches a predetermined level, the functional water generator generates ozone water or electrolyzed water, which is then mixed by the agitator. Thus, partial decolorization or damage of laundry can be prevented. Also, since ozone water or electrolyzed is maintained in the washing tub in a constant concentration, the laundry can be sterilized, disinfected, bleached and deodorized without being heated, which avoids damage to the laundry.
