Abstract: A drum-type washing machine is disclosed which includes a ventilation apparatus that provides an air passage for an inner space of a tub to communicate with an external atmosphere. The ventilation apparatus employs a bubble dissipation device that prevents bubbles generated in the tub from reaching a ventilating bellows and being discharged from a cabinet of the washing machine. The ventilation apparatus includes a ventilating duct formed at an upper part of the tub; a ventilating bellows, one end of which is coupled to an exterior surface of the cabinet and the other end of which is connected to the ventilating duct, to allow a passage of aim the tub to the external atmosphere; and a bubble dissipation device, vertically installed along the air passage of the ventilation apparatus, for preventing bubbles generated in the tub from being discharged from the cabinet.

Abstract: A drum-type washing machine includes a washing water supply apparatus providing a liquid passage from a water outlet of a detergent reservoir to an inner space of a tub. The washing water supply apparatus employs a bubble dissipation device for preventing bubbles generated in a tub from reaching an inlet bellows and entering a detergent reservoir. The washing water supply apparatus includes a water supply duct formed at an upper part of the tub; an inlet bellows, one end of which is coupled to the water outlet of the detergent reservoir and the other end of which is connected to the water supply duct, for supplying a liquid to the tub; and a bubble dissipation device, vertically installed along the liquid passage of the washing water supply apparatus, for preventing bubbles generated in the tub from entering the detergent reservoir.

Abstract: Disclosed is a washing machine and dryer having a condensation unit (700). A tub (200) is installed in a cabinet (100), and a drum is rotatably installed within the tub (200). A drying duct (610) has one end connected with an interior of the tub (200), and a condensation duct (710) connects the tub (200) with the drying duct (610). A cooling water supply unit (720) is provided in one side of the condensation duct (710) to supply cooling water supplied from an outside to the interior of the condensation duct (710). A cooling water dropping unit (750) collects the cooling water supplied to an interior of the condensation duct to drop the collected cooling water to the inner space of the condensation duct. A heater (620) heats air circulating the tub (200), the condensation duct (710), and the drying duct (610), and a circulation fan (800) circulates the air. A drain pump (500) discharges washing water in the tub (200) outside the cabinet (100).

Abstract: An improved water supply assembly for a washing machine is provided which prevents breakage of a water supply hose due to freezing. The water supply assembly includes a detergent box assembly provided in a cabinet so as to communicate with a tub of the washing machine, and a water supply valve assembly connected to the detergent box assembly by a hose so as to control a flow of water into the washing machine. By positioning the water supply valve assembly higher than the detergent box, the hose extending therebetween is oriented at a downward slant, thus causing any excess water remaining in the hose after the flow of water into the washing machine has been cut off to naturally drain into the detergent box assembly.

Abstract: A washing machine having a transient vibration sensor assembly is provided. The transient vibration sensor assembly senses transient vibration of a tub to prevent the washing machine from severe shaking and subsequent breakdown. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub suspended in the cabinet, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, a motor provided in the cabinet to rotate the drum, a sensor assembly in the cabinet to sense a transient vibration of the tub, and a controller to control the motor, and to stop the motor if the sensor assembly senses that the tub is in a transient vibration state.

Abstract: Washing machine including a washing tub having an inner tub rotatably mounted for holding and washing laundry, and an outer tub having the inner tub mounted therein, a driving device for rotating the inner tub, a body having a base plate, one pair of side panels at opposite side edges of the base plate, a rear panel at rear edges of the base plate and the side panels, and a top panel on top of the side panels and rear panel, and the washing tub and the driving device held therein, and a front panel rotatably engaged with, supported on, and detachably mounted on, a front part of the body, thereby permitting easy and fast assembly/disassembly of the cabinet.

Abstract: A washing machine is provided which has a structurally reinforced apparatus for accurately sensing a water level. The washing machine includes a housing, a tub installed in the housing, a drum rotatably installed in the tub, and a water level sensing apparatus for sensing a water level in the tub/drum so as to provide an appropriate water level for each washing step. The water level sensing apparatus includes an air chamber installed in communication with the tub. The air chamber stores a predetermined amount such that the water present in the system develops a pressure on the stored air. The water level sensing apparatus also includes a sensor installed at an end of a tube connected to the air chamber which determines a water level by sensing an air pressure in the tube, and a protecting member which prevents disassembly and breakage of the air chamber and the tube during operation of the washing machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detergent supplying apparatus in a washer which includes a cabinet (1), a drum (4) rotatably provided in the cabinet and a tub (3) fixed outside the drum (4).

Abstract: Provided is a femoral head surface replacement system including a femoral head aspherical cup having a round cavity inside and a distal end having an open lower end, and a stem installed on the femoral head aspherical cup and extending to a lower side end thereof. In the femoral head aspherical cup, a cavity is formed so that a femoral head is inserted therein, a conic insertion protrusion protrudes from an upper side of the cavity, and the distal end is formed of a plurality of protruding portions and groove portions. In the stem, an insertion hole is formed corresponding to the insertion protrusion of the femoral head aspherical cup so that the stem is fixed to the femoral head aspherical cup as the insertion protrusion is forcibly inserted into the insertion hole.

Abstract: Disclosed is a detergent storing assembly and washing machine using the same, by which a lid part and a detergent box constructing the detergent storing assembly are correctly assembled to each other. The present invention includes a tub having an open front side to hold water and detergent, a drum rotatably installed in the tub to hold laundry, a motor rotating the drum, a cabinet having the tub and the motor inside, and a detergent storing assembly at the cabinet to provide the detergent to detergent to the tub. And, the detergent storing assembly includes a detergent box having an open topside to store the detergent and to provide the detergent to the tub for washing, a lid part fixed to the topside of the detergent box to open/close, and an incorrect-assembling preventing means for leading the lid part to a correct position for a reciprocal assembling of the lid part and the detergent box.

Abstract: Disclosed is a washing machine for preventing leakage of bubbles. The washing machine includes: a housing (10); a tube (20) installed inside the housing (10), for storing washing water, the tub (20) including at least one opening (21, 22, 23) and at least one pipe (21b,22b, 23b) connected with the opening (21, 22, 23); a drum (30) installed inside the tub (20) and configured to wash laundry; and cutoff means (100, 200, 300, 400) for preventing bubbles generated in the drub (30) and the tub (20) from being leaked to an outside through the opening (21, 22, 23) and the pipe (21b, 22b, 23b).
