- Referring to FIG. 2, the drum type washing machine of the present invention includes a tub (not shown) mounted inside of a
cabinet 52 having an opened front part for making washing of laundry, and adrum 54 rotatably mounted on a central part of the tub. Thedrum 54 is disposed horizontally, or a rear side thereof is sloped downwardly, and thedrum 54 is driven by a motor (not shown). - There is a
cabinet cover 53 in the front part of thecabinet 52 having an opening h for depositing/taking the laundry into/out of thedrum 54. There is the open/closable door 60 mounted on thecabinet cover 53 for preventing the laundry from being thrown off thedrum 54. - There is a
detergent hold 56 in one side of a top part of thecabinet 52 for storing detergent to be introduced into an inside of the tub, and acontrol panel 57 on thecabinet 52 for operation of the washing machine. - Referring to FIG. 4, the
door 60 includes ahinge assembly 15 fitted to one point of a circumference of the opening in thecabinet 52, and aninner frame 62 and anouter frame 64 joined together having at least one thereof connected to thehinge assembly 15. - The
outer frame 64 includes ahandle 70 at a side of the opening h in thecabinet cover 53 so that the user can open/close thedoor 60. - Referring to FIG. 3, the clothes drier of the present invention includes a
cabinet 71, adrying drum 73, a driving device, aheater 75, a suction duct 77, adischarge duct 85, alint duct 78, and ablower 83. - The
drying drum 73 is rotatably mounted in abody 71, having a plurality oflifters 74 projected from an inside circumference surface thereof. - The driving device is fitted to provide a rotation force to the
drying drum 73, and includes amotor 80, adriving pulley 81 connected to themotor 80, and abelt 82 connected to thedriving pulley 81 and wound around an outer circumference of thedrying drum 73. - When the driving device is put into operation, the
driving pulley 81 and thebelt 82 rotate at the same time as themotor 80 rotates, according to which thedrying drum 73 is rotated. - The
heater 75 is inside of the suction duct 77 for drawing and heating external air to produce hot air. - The suction duct77 is connected to a rear opening in the
drying drum 73, for drawing external air through an end, and guiding the hot air produced by theheater 75 toward an inside of thedrying drum 73. - The
discharge duct 85 is in communication with an exterior, and thelint duct 78 is in communication with the front opening of thedrying drum 73 and thedischarge duct 85 respectively, for guiding moist air having dried the drying object in thedrying drum 73 toward thedischarge duct 85. There is afilter 84 at an inlet to thelint duct 78 for filtering foreign matters, such as dust or fluff from the air from thedrying drum 73. Theblower 83 in rear of thelint duct 78 generates a blowing power and discharges the moist air guided to thedischarge duct 85 to an exterior. - In the meantime, as described, the
door 60 is provided in the front part of thecabinet 71. - The door of the present invention for the drum type washing machine and clothes drier will be described in more detail, with reference to the attached drawings.
- Referring to FIG. 4, the door of the present invention includes a
hinge assembly 15 for opening/closing thedoor 60, and aninner frame 62 and anouter frame 64 joined together having at least one thereof connected to thehinge assembly 15. - The
inner frame 62 includes ahook 65 for opening/closing of thedoor 60, and ahole 62 h for inserting thehook 65 therein. Theouter frame 64 includes arecessed handle 70 for opening/closing thedoor 60. - The
inner frame 62 and theouter frame 64 are fastened withbolts 61, with atransparent door glass 63 fixed between theinner frame 62 and theouter frame 64. Accordingly, a circumference of thedoor glass 63 is fixed by theinner frame 62 and theouter frame 64. - The
handle 70 will be described in more detail. Referring to FIG. 5, thehandle 70 includes acavity 70 h recessed into a thickness of an inner circumferential surface of theouter frame 64 with a depth and a width enough to put a user's hand therein in opening/closing thedoor 60. - Therefore, an opening of the
handle 70 is positioned in the inner circumferential surface of theouter frame 64, and thecavity 70 h having the depth and the width is formed inside of the opening, which is an inside of theouter frame 64, such that thehandle 70 is not visible in a front view of thedoor 60. - According to this, it is required to change a shape of the
outer frame 64 at which thehandle 70 is formed, or put a mark thereon, for giving a notice of a position of thehandle 70 to the user. To do this, as shown in FIG. 6, the inner circumferential surface of theouter frame 64 is sloped so as to expose the opening of thehandle 70, or only a part of the inner circumferential surface of theouter frame 64 at which thehandle 70 is positioned is sloped. - In the case only the part of the inner circumferential surface of the
outer frame 64 is sloped, since the sloped part is the position of thehandle 70, the position of thehandle 70 can be known even if the opening of thehandle 70 is not exposed. - Alternatively, for giving notice of a position of the
handle 70, an outside surface of theouter frame 64 in which thehandle 70 is formed may be formed of transparent plastic so that the position of thehandle 70 is visible from outside of theouter frame 64. - Other than those methods, an exact position of the
handle 70 may be marked by various methods, such as painting a particular color on the outside surface of theouter frame 64 at which thehandle 70 is positioned, or marking ahandle 70 thereon, for easy finding of thehandle 70. - Since the
handle 70 has thecavity 70 h in theouter frame 64, thehandle 70 is formed in theouter frame 64 at the same time with fabrication of theouter frame 64. That is, thehandle 70 is fabricated, not separately from theouter frame 64, but as one unit with theouter frame 64. - However, referring to FIG. 7, the
handle 70 may be fabricated, by forming thecavity 70 h in conformity with thehandle 70 in the inner circumferential surface of theouter frame 64 in fabrication of theouter frame 64, and inserting ahandle 70 a fabricated separately into thecavity 70h formed in the inner circumferential surface of theouter frame 64. - Or, alternatively, the
handle 70 may be fabricated by forming a recess (not shown) having a depth and a width enough to put a hand and open/close the door, not in the inner circumferential surface, but in the surface of theouter frame 64 in fabrication of theouter frame 64, or by inserting ahandle 70 a fabricated separately into the recess formed in an outside surface. - Above method is favorable in view of fabrication because the
cavity 70 h is not formed in theouter frame 64, but a recess is formed in an outside of theouter frame 64. - In the case the
handle 70 a is thus fabricated separately, since thehandle 70 a is inserted in and fixed to thecavity 70 h or recess in theouter frame 64, thehandle 70 a is made detachable. - Moreover, referring to FIG. 8, for easier opening/closing of the
door 60, a surface of thehandle 70 may be formed rugged, or projections are formed on the surface of thehandle 70, for prevention of slipping of fingers, or afinger recess 70 c may be formed in an inside of thehandle 70 at which ends of the fingers are inserted and caught for easier opening/closing of thedoor 60. - The
handle 70 may be formed in an inside surface of theouter frame 64, when thedoor glass 63 serves as a bottom of thehandle 70. Accordingly, in this case, since thedoor glass 63 can be scratched due to contact with the fingers, as described, it is preferable that thehandle 70 a fabricated separately is employed, for avoiding direct contact of the fingers with thedoor glass 63. - Thus, the
handle 70 may be provided in different parts of theouter frame 64, and there may be a variety of variations of the form of thehandle 70. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
