  • Patent number: 7415847
    Abstract: A washing machine has a washing water supplier which includes a storage tank storing washing water and a cooler decreasing a temperature of the washing water supplied from the storage tank and a washing tub. The washing water storage apparatus keeps the temperature of the washing water low by circulating the washing water of the storage tank through the cooler. The washing tub is connected to the washing water supplier to receive the washing water supplied from the storage tank and use the washing water to wash laundry. A washing machine can use ozone micro-bubbles. Ozone micro-bubbles are generated for easy disinfection and sterilization, without using any high-pressure rotation pump. After the ozone is generated in an ozone generation apparatus, the ozone forms a water-ozone mixture in an ozone mixing unit. The mixture is atomized into micro-bubbles in the rotation pump and returns to the washing tub.

  • Patent number: 7017786
    Abstract: An ironing device for treating creases in a front top part of trousers by pressing the trousers using movable iron plates, which are movable by pneumatic pistons. The trousers are fixed onto a body including a trouser fixing part formed below a front protrusion of an upper supporter. Front and rear supporting members are formed at both sides of the protrusion, for supporting arms of the iron plates. The arms include vertical and horizontal portions coupled to each other and where the pneumatic pistons are each coupled perpendicularly to an end of the vertical arms and to a bottom surface of the iron plates. The iron plate applies a pressing force to the trousers perpendicularly to the front surface of the trousers without being rotated or slid with respect to the trousers, so the ironing device forms clear creases in the trousers, with a simple structure and reduced power consumption.

  • Patent number: 6581810
    Abstract: A shoulder guard for a hanger is formed from two wings which are substantially symmetrical and which are substantially identical except for attachment details. The wings have a pair of folds which are at an angle to normal to centerlines of the wings, and which permit the wings to fold flat against each other. When the wings are unfolded, the shoulder guard forms an arch. Cutouts are provided for tying multiple hangers together and cuts are provided for slipping the shoulder guard over the hook of the hanger by forcing the hook past the cuts. Additional cutouts facilitate the shoulder guard retaining its form at the ends and also provide support for particular garments.
