A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum, and a detergent feeder. The detergent feeder includes a storage unit, a supply casing, and a water supply unit, where the storage unit is inserted into the cabinet through the detergent opening and includes therein a storage space for storing detergent therein. The supply casing accommodates the storage unit therein. The water supply unit is configured to supply water to the storage unit and includes a water supply portion for supplying water to the storage unit, a shower portion for supplying water into the supply casing by avoiding the storage unit, and a shower flow channel extending from the water supply portion and connected to the shower portion to deliver water from the water supply portion to the shower portion.

Laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet having a detergent opening defined a front surface thereof, a tub located inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub, and a storage for storing detergent to be supplied to the tub therein. The storage is retracted into or extended out of the cabinet through the detergent opening. The storage includes a storage frame having a detergent storage space defined therein for storing the detergent therein, where a top surface of the storage frame is opened such that the detergent storage space is opened, a cover seat portion formed on the storage frame and formed along a perimeter of the detergent storage space, and a cover detachably coupled to the cover seat portion to shield at least a portion of an open top surface of the detergent storage space.

Proposed is a refrigerator having a shelf assembly in which the shelf assembly includes a shelf installed inside a cabinet defining a storage space of the refrigerator and allowing food and a container to be seated thereon, a shelf fixing bracket fixed to each of opposite sides of the shelf and supporting the shelf, a lift rail module installed to be vertically long inside the cabinet such that the shelf fixing bracket is vertically movable, and a lift module installed slidably on one side of the shelf and configured to selectively release the shelf fixing bracket held by the lift rail module according to a user's manipulation.

Shelf assembly of refrigerator

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum, and a detergent feeder. The detergent feeder includes a storage unit including therein a storage space for storing detergent therein, a detergent hose for flowing detergent delivered from the storage unit therethrough, and a water supply unit connected to the detergent hose to supply delivered detergent to the storage unit together with water. At least a portion of the detergent hose extends along an outer surface of the water supply unit, and a hose accommodating groove extending along a longitudinal direction of the detergent hose to accommodate the detergent hose therein is defined in the outer surface of the water supply unit.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum, a storage including a storage frame having a detergent storage space defined therein for storing detergent to be supplied to the tub therein, where the storage is retracted into or extended out of the cabinet through a detergent opening, and a fixing assembly disposed inside the cabinet to face the storage, where the fixing assembly includes a fastening elastic portion protruding toward the storage. The storage frame includes a frame outer wall for forming an outer wall of the storage frame and surrounding the detergent storage space, and a frame partition wall disposed in the storage frame to partition the detergent storage space. The frame partition wall includes a fastening protrusion protruding toward the fixing assembly, and the fastening elastic portion is pressurized and elastically deformed by the fastening protrusion during the retraction and the extension of the storage.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a tub, a drum, and a rotation shaft extending in a front-rear direction, and a detergent dispenser configured to be inserted into and withdrawn from the cabinet. The detergent dispenser includes a dispenser tray, a dispenser housing accommodating the dispenser tray, and a dispenser cover seated on the dispenser housing and configured to supply wash water to the dispenser tray or the dispenser housing. The dispenser cover has a front supply flow path configured to supply the wash water to a front portion of the dispenser housing, and the dispenser housing has a front flow path configured to diffuse the wash water supplied from the front supply flow path. The front flow path is defined at a front portion of a bottom surface of the dispenser housing and configured to guide the wash water to a discharge hole defined at the bottom surface.

A refrigerator may include a partition wall that isolate a first storage compartment from a second storage compartment. A third storage compartment is provided in the partition wall to be recessed downwards from an upper surface of the partition wall. An opening is formed on the upper surface to allow storage objects to be placed into the storage space. A door covers the opening of the third storage compartment and is configured to be moved in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the partition wall to selectively open or close the opening. An elastic-force assembly may apply a restoring force to the door when the door is moved to open the third storage compartment. A slide assembly that guides movement of the door may include a speed dampener that reduces a speed of the door when the door is moved to close the third storage compartment.
