CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026598 titled 'CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The clothes treatment apparatus described in the patent application consists of a cabinet with two chambers: a treatment chamber for hanging clothes and a cycle chamber for housing machinery. The cycle chamber is positioned vertically below the treatment chamber. A partition plate separates the treatment chamber from the cycle chamber. The apparatus also includes a door to open and close the cabinet, a door liner inside the door to guide condensed water from the treatment chamber to the upper side of the partition plate, and a condensed water guide member at the partition plate to direct the condensed water from the door liner into the treatment chamber.

  • The apparatus is designed to treat clothes by providing a dedicated chamber for hanging clothes and a separate chamber for housing machinery.
  • The partition plate ensures that the treatment chamber and the cycle chamber are separated, preventing any interference between the clothes and the machinery.
  • The door liner and the condensed water guide member work together to guide condensed water generated in the treatment chamber to the upper side of the partition plate and then into the treatment chamber.
  • The apparatus is likely to have a user-friendly design, with the door providing easy access to the treatment chamber and the condensed water being effectively managed to prevent any damage to the clothes.

Potential Applications

  • This clothes treatment apparatus can be used in households, allowing users to conveniently treat their clothes without the need for separate machinery or equipment.
  • It can also be utilized in commercial settings such as laundromats or dry cleaning establishments, providing an efficient and compact solution for clothes treatment.

Problems Solved

  • The apparatus solves the problem of having separate machinery and treatment space for clothes by integrating both in a single cabinet.
  • It addresses the issue of condensed water generated during the treatment process by guiding it away from the clothes and into the treatment chamber, preventing any potential damage.

Benefits

  • The clothes treatment apparatus offers convenience and space-saving benefits by combining the treatment chamber and the machinery chamber in one cabinet.
  • It ensures the safety of clothes by effectively managing condensed water and preventing it from coming into contact with the clothes.
  • The apparatus provides a user-friendly experience with easy access to the treatment chamber through the door.
