Garment processing device

A laundry-treating apparatus comprising:

• a cabinet having an inlet defined therein;
• a door provided to open and close the inlet, wherein the door includes a first receiving space defined therein and exposed to an outside, and a second receiving space defined therein and separated from the first receiving space by a partitioning wall;
• a first linkage configured to reciprocate within the second receiving space, wherein the first linkage is configured to move to selectively connect the door to pivot about a first pivoting axis;
• a second linkage configured to reciprocate within the second receiving space, wherein when the first linkage moves to separate the door from the first pivoting axis, the second linkage is configured to connect the door to pivot about a second pivoting axis that differs from the first pivoting axis;
• a handle including:
• a first handle link having a first end pivotably coupled to the door in the first receiving space and a second end located in the second receiving space, wherein the first handle link passes through the partitioning wall;
• a second handle link fixed to the second end of the first handle link and located inside the second receiving space, wherein when a force is applied to move the first handle link, the second handle link moves the first linkage so that the door is separated from the first pivoting axis, and wherein when the first linkage moves to connect the door at the first pivoting axis, the second handle link moves toward the partitioning wall;
• and
• a damper provided between the second handle link and the partitioning wall, wherein the damper includes elastic that is fixed to one of the partitioning wall or the second handle link to prevent the second handle link from colliding with the partitioning wall.
