Patent number: 9527638Abstract: A storage container includes an inflow hole and an outflow hole through which cold air flows, and deodorizing filters for removing odorous materials are mounted in the inflow hole and the outflow hole. Therefore, when foods containing odor-causing materials are put in the storage container to be stored in a storage compartment, the odor-causing materials are prevented from spreading inside the storage compartment, thereby fundamentally removing odors from the storage compartment. In addition, the cold air of the storage compartment continuously flows in and out of the storage container through the inflow hole and the outflow hole, and therefore foods stored in the storage container may be kept fresh.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Chae Hyun Yoo, Wan Ku Kang, Jong Ho Lee, Dae Yun Kim, Jea Won Lee, Jee Hoon Lee

Publication number: 20160338568Abstract: A washing operation and a drying operation are performed while a basket which is located inside a washing tub and accommodates dishes reciprocates in a vertical direction of a washing tub due to a driving device. The basket reciprocates in order to pass through an injection nozzle which injects washing water and an air nozzle which injects air to perform the washing operation while passing through the injection nozzle and to perform the drying operation while passing through the air nozzle. Through this, a small amount of dishes may be washed and dried in a short time and the dishes may be washed using a small amount of water and energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2016Publication date: November 24, 2016Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jee-Hoon LEE, Ji Won RYU, Jea Won LEE, Hyung Kwen HAM
