Abstract
A laundry treating apparatus is provided. The laundry treating apparatus may include a cabinet having a receiving space in which laundry is received, a supply device supplying at least one of air or moisture into the receiving space, and a presser provided in the receiving space, the presser including a support device to support the laundry and a compression device to compress the laundry supported by the support device to form a crease in the laundry.
Claims36
A laundry treating apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet having a receiving space to receive laundry;
- a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet to open and close an access opening of the receiving space;
- a supply device that supplies at least one of air or moisture into the receiving space;
- and
- a presser provided at an inner surface of the door, facing an interior of the receiving space in a closed position of the door, the presser including a support device configured to support the laundry in the receiving space and a compression device configured to compress the laundry between the compression device and the support device,
- wherein the support device is fixed to the inner surface of the door, and the compression device is rotatably coupled to the inner surface of the door so as to rotate relative to the support device and selectively extend across the support device.
A laundry treating apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet having a receiving space formed therein;
- a machinery compartment formed in the cabinet, below the receiving space and partitioned from the cabinet;
- a supply device provided in the machinery cabinet and configured to supply at least one of heated air or moisture into the receiving space;
- a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet so as to selectively open and close an access opening into the receiving space;
- and
- a presser provided on an interior wall defining the receiving space, wherein the presser includes:
- a support device provided on the interior wall and configured to support a laundry item thereon;
- and
- a compression device rotatably coupled to the interior wall, at a position corresponding to the support device, and configured to rotate relative to the support device so as to extend across the support device and compress the laundry item between the support device and the compression device,
- wherein the compression device includes:
- a body formed as a frame that is rotatably coupled to the interior wall, the frame of the body defining an opening;
- and
- a body through hole formed through the body.
A laundry treating apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet having a receiving space to receive laundry;
- a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet to open and close an access opening of the receiving space;
- a supply device that supplies at least one of air or moisture into the receiving space;
- and
- a laundry press provided at an inner surface of the door and facing an interior of the receiving space in a closed position of the door, the laundry press including a support and a compression device configured to compress the laundry against the support,
- wherein the support is mounted on the inner surface of the door, and the compression device is provided to rotate relative to the support, and
- wherein the support includes
- a first surface vertically extended along a length of the support and configured to press the laundry with the compression device,
- a second surface vertically extended along the length of the support and provided a prescribed distance laterally from the first surface and configured to press the laundry with the compression device, and
- a space provided between the first surface and the second surface, the space extending toward the inner surface of the door relative to the first and second surfaces and being configured to accommodate part of the laundry when the compression device presses the laundry with the first surface and the second surface.
A laundry treating apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet having a receiving space to receive laundry;
- a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet to open and close an access opening of the receiving space;
- a supply device that supplies at least one of air or moisture into the receiving space;
- and
- a laundry press provided at an inner surface of the door and facing an interior of the receiving space in a closed position of the door, the laundry press including a support and a compression device configured to compress the laundry against the support, and
- a space that extends vertically along a central region of the support, the space being configured such that a prescribed region of the laundry is not pressed by the compression device,
- wherein the support is mounted on the inner surface of the door, and the compression device is provided at the inner surface of the door so as to rotate relative to the support, and
- wherein the support is provided a prescribed distance from the inner surface of the door.
