Latest Patents

Baek’s latest patent work includes designs for clothes-treating and clothes-care apparatuses that combine laundry handling with air-drying systems.

The clothes-treating apparatus uses a tub with a reinforced rear section and a duct-mounting region. A drum inside the tub accommodates laundry and rotates on a shaft supported by a bearing housing. Its exhaust duct is mounted to the tub back, couples to the bearing housing, and uses a material stronger than the tub. A drying device removes moisture from air exhausted through the duct, heats the air, and returns it to the tub.

The clothes-care apparatus places a drying device above the tub. Its tub back includes rearward-projecting reinforcing ribs and an integrated tub duct that guides exhausted air to the drying device. The system removes moisture from the air and supplies heated air back to the tub.
