HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE
A household appliance has a main body, a chamber with an opening, and a drawer door closing the chamber. A support mechanism is connected between the drawer door and the main body. A cable extends between the main body and the drawer door and a guidance mechanism guides the cable and moves with the drawer door. The guidance mechanism includes a bendable member that moves along a moving path including a bent portion. A limiting mechanism limits the bendable member to move within the moving path and a preset error range. A structure of a component surrounding the guidance mechanism in the household appliance is improved, so that a moving track of the guidance mechanism can be guided and limited when the guidance mechanism moves as the drawer door moves. This helps the guidance mechanism and the cable move through an expected track.
Compact suction station
The invention relates to a compact suction station, the structure of which allows it to be arranged in small compartments, such as the skirting board area of kitchen units, said station being protected by a dismountable outer casing in which, in the front part of the assembly, there is an extractable part corresponding to the container drawer, and in which, in the rear part, there is a suction intake for the dirty air from the pipes and the plurality of inlets, and the clean air extraction outlet, the interior of the station consisting of two compartments that communicate with each other, one of them being used for the insertion of the extractable drawer with the container bag and the other to house the motor, the extraction channel and various electronic components.
Laundry treatment apparatus and method of controlling the same
A laundry treatment apparatus that includes: a cabinet; a first cabinet door; a second cabinet door; a first washing apparatus; and a second washing apparatus including: a tub that is accessible through a second opening in a state in which the second cabinet door is opened, that is configured to store water, and that includes a tub opening at a top of the tub, a tub cover that is coupled to the tub and that covers the tub opening, and a drum that is configured to rotate about a shaft, the shaft extending in the second direction, wherein the tub cover includes an air channel unit that is configured to transfer air between an interior area of the tub and an exterior area of the tub in a state in which the second washing apparatus is operational is disclosed.
Refrigerator
In a refrigerator including a sliding door configured to open and close a storage chamber, a storage basket provided on a rear portion of the sliding door, and a support frame configured to support the sliding door and the storage basket, sidewalls of the storage basket may be formed so as to protrude outwardly except a lower portion in which the support frame is disposed between an inner case and the sidewalls, thereby increasing a storage space of the storage basket. In addition, a front protrusion, an auxiliary protrusion, and a rear protrusion are formed in an upper portion of the storage basket, and therefore a relative position of an auxiliary basket to the storage basket may be limited, and the auxiliary basket may be drawn into and out in conjunction with drawn-in and-out movements of the storage basket.
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE COMPRISING A LIQUID TANK
A household appliance (10) is disclosed which comprises a liquid tank (12), wherein the tank is adapted for translational movement between a use position in which the tank is positioned within a 5 housing (15) of the household appliance and a servicing position in which the tank is at least partially extracted from the housing, the household appliance further comprises biasing means (30) for biasing the tank towards the servicing position, and releasable latch means (36; 38; 58) for selectively arresting 10 the tank in the use position or releasing the tank for movement towards the servicing position. In accordance with the invention: the household appliance (10) further comprises a carriage (24) associated to the tank (12) and configured for translational 15 movement along guide means (28) provided in the housing (15); the biasing means (30) comprises a spring element configured to be loaded when the tank (12) is moved from the servicing position towards the use position; and the latch means comprises: 20a catch (36) provided at the carriage, a locking member (38; 58) located at the housing (15) which in the use position of the tank (12) engages the catch (36) to arrest the tank in the use position, andrelease means (40; 62) for disengaging the locking member 25 from the catch (36).
Quick-fastening element, guide rail and use
A quick-fastening element is provided for fastening a guide rail to two adjacent horizontally extending bars arranged in a vertically superposed and parallel relationship.
