Publication number: 20150374201Abstract: A dish washing machine includes the following elements: a main body; a washing tank; a tableware basket for holding target objects to be washed; a washing device for spraying washing water onto the target objects; an atomizer for atomizing the washing water; a door; a detergent automatic insertion device; and a controller for performing at least a pre-washing step, an atomizing step, and a washing step. After the pre-washing step, the controller causes the detergent automatic insertion device to supply detergent to the atomizer, and controls and performs the atomizing step and the washing step. Thus, after the pre-washing step, the step of atomizing a detergent solution can be performed. This enables the dish washing machine to reduce the amount of detergent to be used and to exert high washing performance through the step of atomizing the detergent solution at the same time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2014Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: NORIYOSHI MATOBA, MAMORU IKESHIMA, KAZUHISA ENOMOTO

Patent number: 7114274Abstract: An ironing apparatus includes an iron body having a heater, a base, a tank, a water receiving port and a power receiving port, and a stand having an iron rest, a water feeding port and a power feeding part. The base is heated by the heater, and it comprises a vaporizing chamber. The tank stores water to be supplied to the vaporizing chamber. When the iron body is placed on the iron rest, the water feeding port is connected with the water receiving port of the iron body, and the power feeding part is connected electrically to the power receiving part of the iron body. During this moment, connection of the water receiving port to the water feeding port is completed prior to the connection between the power receiving part and the power feeding part.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2004Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichiro Kobayashi, Mamoru Ikeshima

Publication number: 20050016034Abstract: An ironing apparatus includes an iron body having a heater, a base, a tank, a water receiving port and a power receiving part, and a stand having an iron rest, a water feeding port and a power feeding part. The base is heated by the heater, and it composes a vaporizing chamber. The tank stores water to be supplied to the vaporizing chamber. The water receiving port is communicated with the tank. The power receiving part is electrically connected with the heater. The iron rest holds the iron body. When the iron body is placed on the iron rest, the water feeding port is connected with the water receiving port of the iron body, and the power feeding part is connected electrically to the power receiving part of the iron body. During this moment, connection of the water receiving port to the water feeding port is completed prior to the connection between the power receiving part and the power feeding part.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2004Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Shinichiro Kobayashi, Mamoru Ikeshima

Patent number: 6513269Abstract: A steam sprayer is used in ironing textile products, including clothes. The steam sprayer is user-friendly and offers highly effective ironing. A vaporizing chamber generates steam by vaporizing water stored in a tank. A water-supplying unit supplies the vaporizing chamber with the water. A steam-ejecting section spouts the steam outside. The steams-ejecting section includes a ironing surface with high frictional resistance characteristics. When touching the ironing surface to clothes or other fabrics for ironing, a pulling force is caused by the frictional resistance, which is a preferable wrinkles-off effect. Thus, the steam sprayer offers a synergistic effect brought by spouting the steam and applying the pulling force to clothes, thereby neatly fixing the form of clothes.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichiro Kobayashi, Toshihide Nakamura, Mamoru Ikeshima, Masao Shimizu
