Claim 0:
1. A clothes treatment apparatus comprising:
a cabinet defining an inlet;
a first chamber positioned inside the cabinet and configured to accommodate clothes through the inlet;
a second chamber positioned under the first chamber and 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 comprising:
a motor,
a vibrating body configured to support the motor and, based on rotation of the motor, vibrate by rotating alternately in a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction,
a motion converter configured to rotate together with the vibrating body and convert the vibration of the vibrating body to cause the hanger bar to reciprocate, and
at least one driver elastic member configured to, based on rotation of the vibrating body, apply elastic force,

wherein the hanger bar is configured to reciprocate with different amplitudes and periods depending on a rotation of the motor,
wherein the hanger bar is configured to reciprocate in a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode,
wherein the hanger bar is configured to, in the first mode, reciprocate at a first frequency and a first amplitude, the first frequency being smaller than a resonance frequency of the driver,
wherein the hanger bar is configured to, in the second mode, reciprocate at a second frequency and a second amplitude, the second frequency being greater than the resonance frequency,
wherein the hanger bar is configured to, in the third mode, reciprocate at a third frequency and a third amplitude, the third frequency being between the first and second frequencies, the third amplitude being determined based on the third frequency, and the third amplitude being greater than the first amplitude and the second amplitude, and
wherein the hanger bar is configured to reciprocate in the third mode for at least part of a total wrinkle removal time during which wrinkles are removed from the clothes being accommodated in the first chamber.
