Abstract:
1. A fabric treatment apparatus comprising: a treatment room which can receive and hold clothes; a cabinet which forms the exterior of the treatment room; a motor disposed in the cabinet and generating a rotational force; an eccentric unit which is rotated eccentrically by the rotational force generated by the motor; a contact unit which is coupled to the eccentric unit so as to be attachable or detachable from the eccentric unit; a clothes rack which is disposed in the treatment room and is coupled to the contact unit so as to move reciprocally in a linear path, and on which a number of hangers can be hung; a plurality of connectors provided at the ceiling of the treatment room to connect the clothes rack to the ceiling of the treatment room; and a heating unit which supplies at least one of hot air and steam into the treatment room, wherein the ceiling of the treatment room is spaced from the ceiling of the cabinet, wherein the motor includes, a main body disposed between the ceiling of the treatment room and the ceiling of the cabinet, and a rotation axial member penetrating the ceiling of the treatment room and coupled to the eccentric unit in the treatment room, wherein the contact unit includes a slot into which the eccentric unit is slidably coupled, wherein the eccentric unit includes a circular plate which is rotated by the rotational force generated by the motor and an eccentric pin which is disposed eccentrically with respect to the circular plate and is slidably coupled into the slot of the contact unit, wherein the plurality of connectors are formed of an elastic material so as to help the clothes rack reciprocally move in a linear path, and wherein when the clothes rack slides out toward a direction in which the treatment room opens, the eccentric pin slides out from the slot, wherein the direction is orthogonal to the linear path in which the clothes rack moves.
