  • Patent number: 4727896
    Abstract: An ultrasonic washing machine for tableware is provided with an ultrasonic generator and an air bubble supplying device in a tub. Air bubbles are sent out from holes of an air bubble supplying device to reflect ultrasound when ascending in water in the tub. Other air bubbles dissolve in the water, but arise on the tableware again by the cavitation effect of the ultrasound, which makes dirt or alien matters release from the tableware. The air in the water consumed by the cavitation of the ultrasound is fed into the water from outside from time to time. Therefore, cleaning of the tableware by air bubbles is carried out constantly and no detergent is needed in washing the tableware.

  • Patent number: 4727734
    Abstract: An ultrasonic washing machine as an air bubble supplying device and an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator works with textile products such as fabrics, yarns, ropes, etc. placed in a tub filled with water. Air bubbles produced by the cavitation effect of the ultrasound cling to the surface of the textile products and help remove stains, alien matter, etc. adhering to them. Part of the air, fed from the outside by an air bubble supplying device, constantly dissolves in the water, whereby the air consumed by the cavitation is supplemented; the rest of the air, not dissolved in the water, diffuses the ultrasound when ascending in the water as bubbles, which serves to greatly improve the washing effect.
