Laundry treatment apparatus

1 . A laundry treating apparatus comprising:

a cabinet having a laundry inlet defined in one surface thereof;

a chamber positioned inside the cabinet to accommodate laundry therein through the laundry inlet;

a door pivotably coupled to the cabinet to open and close the laundry inlet;

a door inner surface facing the chamber among both surfaces of the door;

a base plate coupled to the door inner surface;

a first shaft disposed parallel to a height direction of the door;

a second shaft disposed perpendicular to the height direction of the door;

a first pressurizing plate configured to provide a space configured to mount pants, the first pressurizing plate being pivotably coupled to the door inner surface or the base plate through the first shaft and configured to face the base plate;

a second pressurizing plate pivotably coupled to the door inner surface or the base plate through the second shaft and disposed to face the first pressurizing plate; and

a clip portion provided in the first pressurizing plate and configured to fix the pants to the first pressurizing plate,

wherein the first pressurizing plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first pressurizing plate being configured to press (i) a first portion of the pants between the base plate and the first surface of the first pressurizing plate and (ii) a second portion of the pants between the second surface of the first pressurizing plate and the second pressurizing plate.

2 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clip portion includes a first clip located at the first surface facing the base plate to fix a portion of the pants to the first surface.

3 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the clip portion further includes a second clip located at the second surface facing the second pressurizing plate to fix another part of the pants to the second surface.

4 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the second clip has an angled shape and defines a predetermined gap with the first pressurizing plate, and

wherein the second clip is configured to fix the pants by inserting a portion of one side surface of the pants into the predetermined gap.

5 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein a length of the second pressurizing plate is less than a length of the first pressurizing plate, and

wherein the second clip is configured to be exposed out of the first pressurizing plate when the second pressurizing plate is pivotably coupled to the first pressurizing plate.

6 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the first pressurizing plate further includes:

a mounting corner having a curved shape and connecting the first surface and the second surface to each other, wherein the mounting corner is configured to mount the pants, and

wherein the mounting corner has (i) a first curved surface that is connected to the first surface and that has a first curvature and (ii) a second curved surface that is connected to the second surface and that has a second curvature different from the first curvature.

7 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the mounting corner is connected to the first surface with the first curved surface and protrudes toward the second pressurizing plate.

8 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first surface includes a first groove recessed in a longitudinal direction of the door to prevent interference with a seam formed on the pants, and

wherein the second surface includes a second groove recessed in the longitudinal direction of the door to prevent the interference with the seam formed on the pants.

9 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is spaced apart from the door inner surface by a predetermined separation distance and is coupled to the door inner surface.

10 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the base plate includes a clip accommodating portion recessed or penetrated into a shape corresponding to a shape of the first clip when the first pressurizing plate pressurizes the base plate.

11 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a width of the second pressurizing plate is greater than widths of the first pressurizing plate and the base plate.

12 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising:

a blower configured to suction air in the chamber;

a heat pump configured to dehumidify and heat the suctioned air;

a first opening penetrating the first pressurizing plate in a thickness direction; and

a second opening penetrating the second pressurizing plate in the thickness direction at a position corresponding to a position of the first opening,

wherein the pants are exposed to dehumidified and heated air through the first opening and the second opening.

13 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second pressurizing plate includes protective side surfaces formed by being bent in a direction toward the door inner surface from both side surfaces of the second pressurizing plate, respectively.

14 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a cover surface located on a side away from the door inner surface among both surfaces of the second pressurizing plate further includes a handle for a user to hold the second pressurizing plate to pivot the second pressurizing plate.

15 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first opening penetrating the first pressurizing plate in a thickness direction;

a second opening penetrating the second pressurizing plate in the thickness direction at a position corresponding to a position of the first opening; and

a steamer configured to generate steam and to supply the generated steam to the chamber.

16 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first clip is disposed at a lower portion of the first surface.

17 . The laundry treating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the second clip is disposed at a lower portion of the second surface.
