  • Publication number: 20130025332
    Abstract: A drum-type washing machine includes a rotary drum in which an axis of rotation is horizontally arranged or is arranged so as to be inclined downward from the front surface side toward the back surface side, a water tank rotatably incorporating the rotary drum, and a motor for rotating the rotary drum, wherein the rotary drum has a plurality of wall surface baffles on an inner wall surface and has a plurality of bottom surface baffles on an inner bottom surface, and the wall surface baffles and the bottom surface baffles are alternately arranged on a circumference taking the axis of rotation as a center. Thus, a laundry in the drum is dispersed and a washing performance is improved.

  • Patent number: 7282683
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high frequency heating apparatus having a structure, which can be mounted/dismounted an air-exhausting grille without any tools. In this apparatus, an air-exhausting grille is arranged by that a fixing claw portion having a bent Z-shape, a fixing hooking portion having a concave notch, and a magnetic joint plate are arranged, whereas a main body located opposite to the air-exhausting grille is arranged by that a slit hole, a hooking flange, and a magnetic fixing plate are arranged. As a result, since the magnetic joint plate is absorbed with the magnetic fixing plate to be fixed with each other, the mounting/dismounting work capability of the air-exhausting grille can be improved without using the tool in a simple manner, and furthermore, a clean cooking appliance can be secured, while the cooking appliance can be readily cleaned.

  • Patent number: 6657172
    Abstract: A high frequency heating apparatus equipped with the oven hood comprises a heating chamber, a power supply apparatus for controlling high frequency output power by way of a semiconductor element, ventilation, and illumination for illuminating an object to be heated by another heat-cooking apparatus. Since the high frequency output power is controlled in such a manner that an optimum heating output power is applied in a linear manner for a proper time period, the heating output power can be controlled in the linear manner and the high frequency heating apparatus can be largely reduced in weight. As a result, the highest-speed heat-cooking operation by receiving the maximum high frequency output power can be realized, and the optimum cooking performance can be realized. Both the installation performance of the appliance to the mounting wall plane and the safety performance achieved by stably fixing the appliance can also be largely improved.
