Abstract: The present invention relates to a wet planar heating element and a method manufacturing the same. The element including: a planar heating unit including an upper waterproof film layer, a lower waterproof film layer, a planar heating layer, and an electrode layer; an external waterproof film layer; and a non-woven fabric layer. According to the present invention, it is possible to minimize leakage current due to pores of a non-woven fabric substrate and a low dielectric constant of air in air pockets, thereby solving problems that an earth leakage circuit breaker operates. Accordingly, wet construction can be performed, power consumption can be reduced, and an electrical fire risk can be remarkably lowered. In addition, it is possible to improve flexibility of the planar heating element, whereby the use of the planar heating element can be expanded and the efficiency of the construction work can be increased.

Abstract: A pulsator, which is installed in a washing tub of a washing machine, includes a base, a post protruded upwardly from a upper surface of the base, a plurality of blades extended radially with respect to the post and outwardly the base, and protruded upwardly on the upper surface of the base, and a plurality of vanes formed on a upper portion of the post, extended radially and outwardly with respect to the upper portion of the post. The plurality of blades develop a heart-type water flow in the washing tub, and the a plurality of vanes develop a water flow at a central portion of the heart-type water flow, thereby the twisting and tangling of the laundry caused by the heart-type water flow can be minimized.

Abstract: A pulsator for a washing machine generates a vortex-type water current in a washing tub in order to wash washing articles. In the pulsator of a washing machine, a base plate is fixed to a shaft of the washing machine to be rotated according to a rotation of the shaft. A plurality of stirring blades are downwardly slanted from the center of the base plate to an outer periphery thereof in a sector form on a bottom surface of the base plate. The plurality of stirring blades define at least one concave collecting basing between adjacent stirring blades on the bottom surface of the base plate. The pulsator for a washing machine generates a vortex-type water current in a washing tub and evenly transmits a friction force generated by a washing water current to the washing articles in a state that a current of the washing water is not uniform inside the washing tub thereby minimizing the twist of washing articles and increasing washing efficiency.
