Laundry apparatus

2:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 1, wherein said fabric is a garment having a sleeve, said gaseous matter is air,
• wherein said first unit is an ironing unit for removing wrinkles on said garment by blowing steam towards said garment, and
• wherein said second unit is a dryer for drying said garment by blowing hot air towards said garment.

3:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 2, wherein said dryer comprises a heat exchanger and a fan,
• wherein said heat exchanger is heated by said steam from said steamer and heats said air passing through said heat exchanger,
• wherein said fan blows said hot air heated by said heat exchanger towards said garment.

4:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 3, wherein said heat exchanger contains an inlet for receiving said steam from said steamer and an outlet for redirecting water formed from said steam back to said steamer,
• wherein said fan propels said air into said heat exchanger and then towards said garment, thereby blowing said hot air towards said garment.

6:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 5, wherein:
• said second mechanism guides the trajectory of said robotic arm to attach said clip at said seam of said garment, and
• said robotic arm contains at least three degrees of freedom.

8:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 7, wherein said first mechanism includes a linear sliding platform to move said hanger to left and to right relative to a first position to stretch said sleeve of said garment.

9:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 7, wherein said ironing unit comprises a nozzle for directing said steam and a plurality of cleaning liquids towards said torso of said garment, wherein said nozzle has two axes of movement, thereby enabling said nozzle to move in a spherical plane.

10:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 9, wherein said ironing unit comprises a sleeve grabber for holding said sleeve of said garment and for directing said steam and said cleaning liquids into said sleeve of said garment.

11:

• The laundry apparatus of claim 10, wherein said laundry apparatus further comprises:
• a plurality of bearings coupled to said sleeve grabber and to enable a circular movement of said sleeve grabber around an axis of said sleeve grabber,
• wherein said sleeve grabber is rotatable along said axis when said hanger is moved to stretch said sleeve, wherein said circular movement causes untwisting of said sleeve of said garment.

13:

• The apparatus of claim 12, wherein said actuator causes said expandable component to expand to said expanded state by infusing a fluid into said expandable component.

14:

• The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said expandable component is a balloon, said fluid is air, and said actuator is an air pumping device for blowing air into said balloon.

15:

• The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said hanger has two shoulders including said shoulder, said apparatus comprising two balloons placed underneath said two shoulders respectively,
• wherein each balloon is connected to said air pumping device through a corresponding tube,
• wherein said pumping device is operable to selectively inflate or deflate each of said balloons.
