CLOTHES TREATING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18137621 titled 'CLOTHES TREATING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The clothes treating apparatus described in the patent application includes a main body with an inlet port, a tub, and a door that opens and closes the inlet port. The door has multiple layers, including a plate, a pattern layer, a color layer, and a reflective layer. The reflective layer has an inclined portion that reflects light towards the plate.

  • The clothes treating apparatus has a door with multiple layers that enhance the transmission and reflection of light.
  • The pattern layer in the door includes an optical pattern that allows at least a portion of light to pass through.
  • The color layer in the door transmits at least a portion of light transmitted through the optical pattern.
  • The reflective layer in the door reflects light transmitted through the color layer towards the plate.
  • The inclined portion of the reflective layer is not parallel to the plate.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in clothes treating apparatus such as washing machines or dryers.
  • The enhanced transmission and reflection of light can improve the visibility inside the apparatus during operation.

Problems Solved:

  • The multiple layers in the door of the clothes treating apparatus solve the problem of poor visibility inside the apparatus.
  • The inclined portion of the reflective layer helps in directing light towards the plate, improving the overall visibility.

Benefits:

  • The enhanced visibility inside the clothes treating apparatus allows users to monitor the progress of the treatment process.
  • The multiple layers in the door improve the overall aesthetics of the apparatus.
  • The inclined portion of the reflective layer ensures efficient reflection of light towards the plate.


Original Abstract Submitted

A clothes treating apparatus includes a main body having an inlet port on a front surface of the main body, a tub, and a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and dose the inlet port. The door includes a door body, a plate that covers a side of the door body, a pattern layer between the plate and the door body and including an optical pattern that transmits at least a portion of light transmitted through the plate, a color layer arranged between the pattern layer and the door body and that transmits at least a portion of light transmitted through the optical pattern, and a reflective layer between the color layer and the door body and that reflects light transmitted through the color layer toward the plate, the reflective layer including an inclined portion extending in a direction that is not parallel to the plate.
