Method for feeding pieces of laundry to an insertion machine
A method that provides to partially automate the feeding of pieces of laundry to an insertion machine by steps which necessitate long distances to be traveled being performed manually. With large pieces of laundry such as, for example, tablecloths and bed sheets, for complete automation a large amount of space is required and the clamps holding corners of the pieces of laundry are required to travel long distances. To achieve this, it is provided to temporarily store the respective piece of laundry after it has been separated and before it is delivered to an insertion machine. It is furthermore provided that in a first corner of the piece of laundry is supplied or held ready by an automatic separator for an operator to manually locate the second corner of the piece of laundry. Partial automation can be achieved without the cycle time being adversely affected owing to manual handling processes.
Clothes care apparatus
Provided is a clothes care apparatus which includes: a main body including a care room accommodating clothes; a machine room positioned below the care room; and a steam generator positioned inside the machine room, and including a case and a water level sensor configured to sense a level of water stored in the case, wherein the water level sensor includes: a housing coupleable to and decoupleable from the case; a plurality of electrodes supported by the housing; and an electrode membrane including an electrode membrane body respectively surrounding each of the plurality of electrodes, and an electrode hole formed in the electrode membrane body to respectively expose the plurality of electrodes to an outside of the electrode membrane body, wherein the electrode hole is further spaced apart from one end of the electrode membrane body than from another end of the electrode membrane body.

Garment steaming device
A garment steaming device includes a housing having a reservoir for containing liquid therein, a head portion connected to the housing, and a steam generator contained within the head portion, the steam generator being in fluid communication with the reservoir for generating steam from the liquid contained in the reservoir. The steam generator includes a first layer and a second layer and at least one heating element sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The first layer and the second layer define a steam flowpath that is configured such that steam flows back and forth between the first layer and the second layer before exiting the steam generator.
CLOTHING TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
The present invention provides a clothing treatment apparatus (10) comprising: a heating unit (100) for heating a fluid; a movable spray unit (200) which is installed to be movable in left and right direction, and sprays the heated fluid; a flow path member (300) which is connected to the heating unit (100) and the movable spray unit (200) and supplies the heated fluid to the movable spray unit (200); and a driving unit (400) for moving the movable spray unit (200) in the left and right direction. The present invention also provides the clothing treatment apparatus (10) including the flow path member (300) bent at an angle of a specific range per unit member (310) or unfolded. The present invention also provides the clothing treatment apparatus (10) including a body portion spreading unit (1500) for spreading a body portion of clothing. The body portion spreading unit (1500) comprises: a body portion spreading arm (1510) of which at least a portion is arranged inside the body portion and which rotationally moves about an end portion as a rotary shaft; and a first driving unit (1520) for rotationally moving the body portion spreading arm (1510). Therefore, clothing treatment performance such as crease removal or the like can be improved, and the time taken to treat clothing can be reduced. The spray pressure of the movable spray unit (200) can be maintained constant, an installation space for the flow path member (300) can be minimized, and generation of condensed water in the flow path member (300) can be prevented.
