A LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE HAVING A VAPOR AND/OR MIST AND/OR AEROSOL GENERATOR
A laundry washing machine comprising: a cabinet, a washing tub housed inside the cabinet, a tubular mantle rotatably housed inside the cabinet, an electric additive treating device mounted in/on the tubular mantle and configured for treating a washing and/or rinsing additive loaded within the tubular mantle in such a way to generate within the tubular mantle a solution of washing and/or rinsing additive water.
LAUNDRY TREATING APPARATUS
A laundry treating apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a dryer including a first cabinet, and a drum rotatably mounted in the first cabinet; a refresher including a second cabinet disposed on one side of the first cabinet and having an inner space for receiving laundry; a first supply air duct for supplying air into the drum; a second supply air duct for supplying air into the inner space of the second cabinet; and a heating device for heating air flowing into the first supply air duct and the second supply air duct, and disposed in the first cabinet and disposed under the drum, thereby supplying hot air to the dryer and the refresher by using a single heating device.
REMOVABLE SCALE COLLECTOR AND INHIBITOR FILTER
The invention provides a device with a steam function, wherein the device includes a water supply opening, a scale inhibitor dosing element, a flow control device, a heating unit, a scale collector element, and a water processing unit. Further, the flow control device provides a fluid including water to flow from the water supply opening via the heating unit to the water processing unit; the scale inhibitor dosing element provides a scale inhibitor to the water at a location in the heating unit and/or upstream of the heating unit; the heating unit includes heating the water in a heating mode and for converting the water into steam in a steam formation mode; and the scale collector element is arranged downstream of the heating unit and upstream of a flow restriction, wherein the scale collector element includes collecting scale particles from the fluid flowing through the scale collector element.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL STEAM GENERATING SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING A STEAM CYCLE WITHIN A LAUNDRY APPLIANCE
A laundry appliance includes a blower that delivers process air through an airflow path. A rotating drum defines a processing chamber. The processing chamber is part of the airflow path. A steam generating system disposes steam into the processing chamber. A plurality of fluid nozzles direct the steam into the processing chamber according to an operating pattern. The plurality of fluid nozzles include a first nozzle that is positioned within an upper portion of the processing chamber and a second nozzle that is positioned in a lower portion of the processing chamber.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLEANING FABRIC
An apparatus for cleaning a fabric article includes an emitting header that emits fluid towards the fabric article and a suction header that suctions the fluid emitted by the emitting header. The suction header and the emitting header are parallel to each other and separated from each other by a space. The space is configured for positioning the fabric article in the space so that fluid emitted by the emitting header flows through the fabric article towards the suction header. A washing appliance for cleaning a fabric article includes a detergent compartment, a control system monitor, a pump, a water compartment, an emitting header that emits fluid towards the fabric article, a suction header that suctions the fluid emitted by the emitting header, a screen disposed between the emitting header and the suction header, and a servo motor in communication with at least one of the emitting header and the suction header.
Clothes treating apparatus
A clothes treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a steam generator configured to generate steam, and a solution storing container configured to store a solution. The clothes treating apparatus also includes a steam spraying portion that is coupled to the steam generator and that is configured to spray steam and a solution spraying portion that is coupled to the solution storing container and that is configured to spray the solution. The steam spraying portion is configured to spray steam to control air pressure at the outlet of the solution spraying portion.
Laundry machine having induction heater and control method thereof
Disclosed herein is a laundry machine. More particularly, a laundry machine for generating steam by an induction heater and a control method thereof are disclosed. According to an embodiment, the laundry machine may include a tub, a drum rotatably arranged in the tub to accommodate an object and provided with a through hole on an outer circumferential surface, an induction heater provided to the tub and configured to heat a heating surface of the drum opposing the induction heater on an outer surface of the drum, a motor driven to rotate the drum, a spray nozzle configured to spray water onto the heating surface of the drum opposing and heated by the induction heater to generate steam, and a processor configured to rotate the drum such that the steam is introduced into the drum through the through hole of the drum in a space between the tub and the drum.
LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE HAVING A USER INTERFACE AND METHODS OF OPERATING SAME
A laundry treating appliance includes a treating chamber provided for receiving laundry for treatment, a controller having a memory in which is stored a set of executable instructions including a set of cycles of operations. The laundry treating appliance also includes a user interface operably coupled with the controller and having a touchscreen configured to provide an input and output function for the controller.
Hand-held gas powered steamer for applying scent reducing and cover scent preparations to apparel and gear in the field
An apparatus and method for masking or reducing undesired scents emanating from hunting and military gear, the method including providing a hand-held, cordless steamer having a reservoir, a boiler, a gas combustion device and a gas cartridge, adding a liquid cover scent preparation or a liquid scent reducing preparation to the reservoir, pumping the cover scent preparation or the scent reducing preparation from the reservoir to the boiler, using the gas combustion device to ignite and combust a gas delivered from the source of gas thereby creating heat which is used to convert the liquid in the boiler into a steam, and applying the steam directly to a piece of hunting or military gear.
