Abstract: The present invention relates to a steam generator and a washing machine therewith. The present invention provides a steam generator including a water chamber for holding water actually, the water chamber having a heater mounted thereto for heating the water, and a steam chamber for holding steam generated as the water is heated actually, wherein the water chamber has a vertical direction length (a vertical length) relatively greater than a horizontal direction length (a horizontal length).

Abstract: A clothes refreshing apparatus is disclosed. The clothes refreshing apparatus includes a cabinet forming an external appearance, a drum which is installed in the cabinet and provides a space in which clothes are loaded and refreshed, a front panel which forms a front surface of the cabinet and has a loading port through which the clothes are loaded into the drum, and a door which is installed to open and close the loading port, wherein the door is formed to have a vertical length equal to or larger than a vertical length of side surfaces of the front panel.

Abstract: A steam generator includes a water chamber for holding water, the water chamber having a heater mounted thereto for heating the water, a steam chamber for holding steam generated as the water is heated, a water supply line for supplying the water to the water chamber, and a steam discharge line for discharging steam from the steam chamber, wherein the water chamber has a vertical direction length relatively greater than a horizontal direction length and the steam chamber has a horizontal direction length relatively greater than the horizontal length of the water chamber. A dryer or washing machine may include the steam generator described herein.

Abstract: A dryer or a washing machine includes a cabinet which forms an exterior of the dryer or the washing machine. A drum is rotatably mounted in the cabinet and a steam generator is provided outside the drum to supply steam to the drum, where the steam generator includes a water chamber to hold water, the water chamber having a heater mounted thereto for heating the water. The steam chamber is provided above the water chamber to hold steam generated as the water is heated, where the steam chamber has a steam discharge opening for discharging the steam, where the steam discharge opening is provided with a separator for isolating a steam discharge area from other areas and where the water chamber has a vertical direction length relatively greater than a horizontal direction length.

Abstract: A drum type washing machine is disclosed. The drum type washing machine includes a tub mounted in a case, a drum rotatably mounted in the tub, and a tilt reduction unit for reducing the downward tilt degree of the tub and the drum when laundry to be cleaned is received into the drum. According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the downward tilt degree of the tub and the drum, and therefore, it is possible to increase the capacities of the tub and the drum without the modification of the case.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a washing machine having high reliability. The washing machine includes a housing, a tub provided in the housing for holding washing water, a drum rotatably mounted in the tub for washing laundry, a door having an outer frame and an inner frame secured to an inside of the outer frame, for opening/closing an opening in the housing such that the housing is in communication with the drum, a hinge arm joining the housing and the door, and rotatably coupled to the housing and the door respectively, and a holder provided between the outer frame and the inner frame for holding a portion of the hinge arm arranged in the door.

Abstract: A buffeting noise reducing system includes: a duct configured for air to pass therethrough, with an air intake at one end disposed inside the vehicle, and a blower assembly at the other end, including an air outlet, a blower fan for blowing air through the air outlet, and a blower motor for operating the blower fan. A control system may drive the blower motor when a noise generation condition is satisfied. The noise generation condition may be based on an opening state of at least one wind inflow port, such as a sunroof or window, and/or on the vehicle speed. A buffeting noise reducing method includes detecting an opening state of a wind inflow port and/or detecting a vehicle speed; judging whether a noise is generated or not, based on information detected in the detection step; and discharging air in a passenger compartment to outside if noise is generated.
