#1. Field

#This relates to a laundry treating apparatus.

#The embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like elements wherein:

#FIGS. 1 and 4 are perspective views of a laundry treating apparatus, FIG. 4 showing the apparatus of FIG. 1 in operation, according to embodiments as broadly described herein;

#FIGS. 2A and 2B are side sectional views of the laundry treating apparatus shown in FIG. 1;

#Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. It should be noted herein that construction of an apparatus, which will hereinafter be described, and a control method of the apparatus are given only for illustrative purposes and embodiments are not limited thereto. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

#A laundry treating apparatus may be capable of washing, drying, and deodorizing laundry and removing wrinkles from the laundry, but may still utilize a drum to receive laundry and a driving device to rotate the drum, with deodorization of laundry or removal of wrinkles from the laundry performed during rotation of the drum. If the laundry is placed in the drum while it is still wrinkled/not straightened, deodorization of laundry and/or removal of wrinkles from the laundry may be adversely affected. Furthermore, such a laundry treating apparatus does not include a device which may form a crease in a laundry item, requiring further treatment by, for example, an iron, after completion of washing or drying.

#As shown in FIG. 1, a laundry treating apparatus 100 as embodied and broadly described herein may include a cabinet 1, a laundry receiving device 3 provided in the cabinet 1, a supply device to supply at least one of air or moisture to the laundry receiving device 3, and a presser 9 provided in the laundry receiving device 3.
