KITCHEN SINK SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE FEATURES
Provided are kitchen sink systems comprising one or more additional features for rinsing, cleaning, and/or drying. The one or more additional features can include a microbubble feature for rinsing produce, a rinsing feature for quickly and efficiently rinsing an item (e.g., dish or user's hands), a steam cleaning feature for cleaning an item (e.g., knife), and/or a retractable nozzle feature for efficiently drying and/or rinsing an item (e.g., drinking glass).
Sink jet sprayer system
The sink jet sprayer system is a cleaning device. The sink jet sprayer system is adapted for use with cookware, cutlery, and crockery. The sink jet sprayer system recirculates a cleaning solution through a fluidic circuit such that the sink jet sprayer system cleans the cookware, cutlery, and crockery. The sink jet sprayer system installs in the DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent System) of a domestic plumbing system. The sink jet sprayer system comprises a sink, a garbage disposal, a directional control valve, and a check valve. The sink, the garbage disposal, and the directional control valve forms the fluidic circuit through which the cleaning solution circulates. The check valve prevents the backflow of fluid from the DWV into directional control valve.
SOAKER SINKS AND FLUID DISTRIBUTION ASSEMBLIES
An example soaker sink may include a sink basin that receives wash items therein and defines an inlet opening. The soaker sink may further include a manifold that defines an inlet opening, an interior that receives a fluid flow input via the inlet opening, and a plurality of outlets. The outlets may permit discharge of fluid from the interior of the manifold to the sink basin and may include at least a first outlet and may further include a common outlet dimension. The soaker sink may further include a pump fluidically coupled with the inlet opening of the sink basin and the inlet opening of the manifold to recirculate fluid from the sink basin to the manifold. A flow restrictor may be removably coupled with the first outlet and may be configured to modify a flow rate of the fluid discharged via the first outlet.
DISHWASHER SYSTEM WITH A REUSE TANK
A method of operating a dishwasher having a wash tub and a reuse tank for storing liquid for subsequent reuse, wherein the condition of the water in the reuse tank may be monitored and/or acted upon to limit the likelihood of undesired effects associated with the growth of micro-organisms in the liquid.
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE HAVING ANTENNAS
A household appliance, such as a dishwasher, for treating an item according to at least one automatic cycle of operation includes multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving data with an external network. The multiple antennas can be coupled with a radio also located within the appliance.
CONTAINER CLEANERS AND METHODS OF USE
Disclosed herein are container cleaners having a container cleaner body extending between a first end and a second end, the first end including a fluid inlet and the second end including a fluid outlet. A fluid pathway formed within the container cleaner body in communication with the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A dispensing head is disposed at the second end of the container cleaner body including one or more nozzles in communication with the fluid outlet. A brush includes a plurality of bristles disposed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the container cleaner body. A detergent reservoir is in communication with the fluid pathway of the container cleaner body.
DISHWASHER DINING TABLE
A dishwasher table includes a housing with an interior volume for a washing assembly, and a panel located within a frame mounted to the housing. At least one side of the panel defines a utensil surface, with the panel interior volume defining a manifold in communication with a plurality of apertures formed in the utensil surface. A pivot assembly at least partially engages the panel with the housing and pivots the panel to present the utensil surface to the interior of the housing or to face the utensil surface away from the interior of the housing. A vacuum pump is connected to the manifold defined by the interior volume of the panel, and operation of the vacuum pump engages dinning utensils placed over one or more of the apertures formed in the utensil surface with the utensil surface.
Dishwasher
A dishwasher comprising: a first body; and a second body which includes a rack to hold an object to be washed, a spray nozzle to spray water onto the object, and a washing channel connectable to the spray nozzle, where the second body is coupleable to or coupleable from a top surface of the first body. The first body includes a washing pump to supply water, a supply channel to supply the water to the washing channel, a drain port to receive the water from the second body, and an upper housing which is coupleable to an opening formed at an upper surface of an external support such that so that while the upper housing is coupled to the opening the first body is positioned at a lower end of the upper surface of the external support.
Sink system and components
A sink system includes a sink basin and a disposal system. The disposal system includes a first inlet coupled to the sink basin, a second inlet fluidly coupled to a second fluid source, and a garbage disposal configured to receive a first flow of fluid from the sink basin via the first inlet and receive a second flow of fluid from a second fluid source via the second inlet. The sink basin delivers a flow of used water to the disposal system and the second fluid source delivers a flow of clean water to the disposal system.
Fluid flow structure and method of use for continuous motion washing machine
A fluid flow structure for a washing machine is located within a wash tank of the washing machine, which includes a fluid flow guide surface, and a support for the guide surface. The guide surface includes at least one region contoured inconsistently from the contour of at least one corresponding wall of the washing machine wash tank. The contour of the guide surface is generally curved so as to aide in reducing and/or preventing the pinning of items that often occurs in rectangular wash tanks of the prior art. The support for the guide surface creates a gap between the guide surface and at least one wall of the washing machine wash tank.
