  • Patent number: 9993757
    Abstract: A filter cartridge assembly is provided. The filter cartridge assembly includes a filter head having an inlet and an outlet, an inner moving up or down in the filter head by an elastic unit, and a locking/unlocking part to control the inner to be stopped in a state that the inner moves up and to move down in state that the inner is stopped such that a filter cartridge is detachably installed in the filter head through the up-down movement of the inner, wherein, in order to allow the inner, which moves up or down in the filter head, to linearly move up only to separate the filter cartridge and to prevent the filter cartridge from being arbitrarily separated when the inner moves down. The inner includes an inner main body, and a holder including a plurality of wing pieces, in which the holder formed on a lower end of the inner main body are provided with the wing pieces which are spaced apart from each other to operate inward and outward, respectively, when the inner moves up or down.

  • Patent number: 9885445
    Abstract: A locking-unlocking structure for guiding forward lifting of a lifting body lifted by repeating a pushing action is provided. The locking-unlocking structure includes an actuation guide unit provided at a center thereof therein with a stop groove to guide stop of a lifting body in a lifting state, having a lifting line and a falling line branching downward from the stop groove, and fixedly coupled to a fixing body, and an actuation unit comprising a lifting plate having a stop protrusion, which is mounted in the stop groove of the actuation guide unit or circulates along the lifting line and the falling line, and coupled to the lifting body movably left and right. The guide protrusion protrudes from the falling line of the actuation guide unit while being inclined downward along the falling line to block an entrance so that the stop protrusion of the lifting plate is prevented from entering the falling line when the lifting plate of the actuation unit is lifted.

  • Patent number: 9863575
    Abstract: A locking-unlocking structure for stopping a lifting body, which is vertically lifted and falls through repetition of a pushing action, in a lifting state and for releasing a stopping state of the lifting body is provided. The locking-unlocking structure includes a lifting body, which is exactly lifted immediately upward, or falls without being fluctuated left and right and, to control lifting and falling operations of the lifting body, an actuation unit is mounted in the lifting body movably left and right, and an actuation guide unit, which guides an operation of the actuation unit, is fixedly mounted in a fixing body, and the lifting body is provided therein with a rotation groove allowing the actuation unit to be movable left and right when the lifting body is lifted or falls, and a rotation shaft rotatably coupled to the rotation groove is provided at one side of a lifting plate.
