CLOTHING TREATMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18003072 Titled 'CLOTHING TREATMENT DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a clothing treatment apparatus that includes a cabinet, a cylindrical drum, a motor, a rotating part, a connection part, a tension part, a bracket, a first elastic member, and a rotation preventing part. The drum is positioned inside the cabinet and is rotated by a motor. The rotating part connects to the drum and transmits the rotational force from the motor. The tension part adjusts the tension of the connection part. The bracket supports the tension part and is connected to the rotating part. The first elastic member rotates the rotating part and tension part in a specific direction when the drum rotates. The rotation preventing part limits the rotation of the rotating part and tension part in that direction.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a clothing treatment apparatus, comprising: a cabinet forming an exterior; a cylindrical drum positioned inside the cabinet and having front and rear surfaces which are open; a motor for generating a rotational force for rotating the drum; a rotating part rotating by means of the rotational force generated by the motor; a connection part connecting the rotating part and the drum to transmit the rotational force of the motor to the drum through the rotating part; a tension part positioned between the rotating part and the drum to adjust the tension of the connection part; a bracket connected to the rotating part to rotatably support the tension part; a first elastic member having one end connected to the cabinet and the other end connected to the rotating part or the bracket, and rotating the rotating part and the tension part in a first rotating direction when the drum rotates; and a rotation preventing part for preventing the rotating part and the tension part from rotating more than a predetermined rotation angle in the first rotating direction.
