Patent number: 11898292Abstract: Disclosed herein is a drum type washing machine capable of obtaining a high-water saving effect. The drum type washing machine comprises at least one processor configured to control a drive device configured to rotate a drum, a water supplier configured to supply water to a tub, and a sprinkler configured to spray water stored in the tub toward laundry accommodated in the drum. The drum comprises a lifter and a plurality of rear through-holes. The at least one processor is configured to perform a water spray process while rotating the drum in a state in which an amount of wash water absorbable by the laundry is maintained in the tub, in a washing cycle. In the water spray process, a waiting process, in which driving a circulation pump 91 is stopped, is intermittently and repeatedly performed.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masahiro Uetsuhara, Tomoyuki Okuno, Katsuyuki Shimakage, Kiyonobu Yoshida, Yasushi Urai, Takehiro Nakanishi

Patent number: 6206909Abstract: A fuel tank stores fuel gas. A catalytic burning section is connected to the fuel tank for generating heat based on an oxidative reaction between the fuel supplied from the fuel tank and air. The fuel tank and the catalytic burning section are assembled as a catalytic heat generating apparatus. The catalytic heat generating apparatus is detachably installed in a housing of a heater section. The heater section has both ends provided with a pair of belt portions wound around a user's body.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1998Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Col Ltd.Inventors: Touru Hanada, Kiyonobu Yoshida, Kouji Nakai, Shigehiro Kimura, Hidetaka Yabuuchi, Takaaki Kusaka

Patent number: 5947109Abstract: A delivery warmer comprises a catalytic combustion heat generating device, a container accommodating cooked food, and a container casing accommodating the container. In the catalytic combustion heat generating device, a fuel tank stores liquefied fuel gas. A nozzle section gasifies and injects the liquefied fuel gas. A combustion section introduces gas mixture of the gasified fuel gas and air, and causes a catalytic reaction for burning the gas mixture. An igniter ignites the gas mixture and commences the catalytic reaction. Thus, heat generated from the catalytic combustion heat device is used to warm the container accommodated in the container casing. The cooked food is kept warm and tasty for a long time.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1998Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sinichiro Kobayasi, Haruo Ida, Kiyonobu Yoshida, Tomoaki Kitano, Takashi Okamoto, Tatsuo Yoshizu
