CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200260 titled 'CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS

The present disclosure pertains to a cabinet with an inlet on the front side, a first chamber for clothes, a second chamber separated from the first chamber, a hanger bar, and a driver system.

  • The cabinet has a unique driver system that includes a motor, a vibrating body, and a motion converter to create reciprocating motion in the hanger bar.
  • The vibrating body supports the motor and vibrates in different directions to move the hanger bar along a predetermined path.
  • The hanger bar's movement can vary in speed and distance based on the motor's rotation, providing flexibility in organizing clothes.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in closets, wardrobes, or storage units to optimize space and organization. - It may also find applications in retail stores or laundry facilities to efficiently manage clothing items.

Problems Solved: - Helps maximize storage space by providing a dynamic system for hanging clothes. - Offers a convenient solution for organizing and accessing clothes in a compact environment.

Benefits: - Efficient use of space in closets or storage areas. - Customizable movement of the hanger bar for tailored organization. - Simplifies the process of storing and retrieving clothes.

Commercial Applications: "Dynamic Hanger Bar System for Efficient Closet Organization" This technology could revolutionize the way clothes are stored and organized in homes, retail settings, and other storage facilities. Its innovative design offers a practical solution for maximizing space and improving accessibility to clothing items.

Questions about the Dynamic Hanger Bar System: 1. How does the vibrating body in the driver system contribute to the movement of the hanger bar? - The vibrating body supports the motor and generates vibrations that are converted into motion by the motion converter, resulting in the reciprocating movement of the hanger bar.

2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in commercial settings? - The cost would depend on factors such as the size of the cabinet, the materials used, and the complexity of the driver system. However, the long-term benefits of efficient organization and space utilization could outweigh the initial investment.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to a cabinet including an inlet on a front side thereof; a first chamber positioned inside the cabinet and defining a space for accommodating clothes through the inlet; a second chamber positioned under the first chamber and defining a space separated from the first chamber; a hanger bar positioned in the first chamber and configured to hold the clothes accommodated in the first chamber; and a driver including: a motor configured to generate torque; a vibrating body configured to support the motor and vibrate alternately in a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction by rotation of the motor; and a motion converter configured to rotate together with the vibrating body and convert the vibration of the vibrating body in connection with the hanger bar such that the hanger bar reciprocates along a predetermined movement direction, wherein the hanger bar is configured to reciprocate with different amplitudes and periods depending on a number of times that the motor rotates.
