20100201007 | HUMIDIFIER, FILTER UNIT AND ROTATION DRIVE STRUCTURE - A disc-shaped filter unit including a filter main body having a water absorbability and a holder having a non water absorbability is disposed in a vertical orientation, with a part of a circumferential portion thereof immersed in water reserved in a water tank, and is rotated by a rotation drive mechanism in a circumferential direction. The filter unit has an absorptive region and a non-absorptive region arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. Therefore, in accordance with rotation of the filter unit in the circumferential direction, a state where the absorptive region is immersed and the filter main body of the filter unit absorbs water through a water-conduction hole and a state where the non-absorptive region is immersed and water absorption of the filter main body is prevented by a watertight section having a non water absorbability are continuously alternated. | 08-12-2010 |
20110133098 | ION DIFFUSING APPARATUS AND ION GENERATING CARTRIDGE - Disclosed is an ion diffusing apparatus that can realize easy replacement of an ion generator and can maintain a stable ion supplying capability. Also disclosed is an ion generating cartridge. In the ion diffusing apparatus, the ion generator is so configured that the generator is detachable for easy maintenance, and can deliver the positive ions and negative ions to a position remote from the apparatus in a room while uniformly generating positive ions and negative ions. An ion diffusing apparatus ( | 06-09-2011 |
