Patent number: 10875786Abstract: A water purifier includes a water purifier body including a housing and a filter provided in the housing to filter raw water introduced from outside of the water purifier body. A water discharge module including a water discharge nozzle is disposed on a front surface of the water purifier body to supply the water passing through the filter to the outside of the water purifier body. The water discharge module includes a case from which the water discharge nozzle extends at a lower end of the case. A protection cap is detachably coupled to the lower end of the case to cover at least a portion of the water discharge nozzle extending outside of the case.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Munjae Jang, Seungdon Lee, Bonghee Won, Chetan Sorab, Kunal Shah, Rajesh Karedla

Patent number: 9134062Abstract: A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, first and second doors opening or closing the storage compartment, and a pillar configured to block cool air from leaking between the first and second doors. The refrigerator also includes a hinge that rotatably connects the pillar to the first door and a holder disposed on the storage compartment and configured to guide rotation of the pillar. The hinge includes a rotation shaft that enables the pillar to rotate with respect to the first door and a rotation restriction unit that is configured to contact the holder and, based on the contact with the holder, move the rotation shaft in a direction parallel to an extension direction of the rotation shaft. The rotation restriction unit selectively restricts the rotation of the pillar with respect to the first door.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Yongki Jung, Jinhong Park, Munjae Jang
