DETAILED ACTION
Reasons for Allowance
The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: Park (US 2012/020425 cited in IDS) in view of Choi (US 2014/0238086 cited in IDS) fails to teach or suggest the claimed invention.
Park figures 1 and 4-7 teach a laundry treating apparatus comprising:
a cabinet (7 outer cabinet) including:
a first side panel (71 side cabinet left) and a second side panel (71 side cabinet right) opposite to each other;
a top panel (75 top side cabinet);
a first rear panel (731 upper side rear panel) connecting the first side panel, the second side panel, and the top panel to each other and defining a rear surface of the cabinet; and
a second real panel (733 unit portion cabinet) connecting the first side panel and the second side panel to each other, wherein the second rear panel is positioned below the first rear panel,
a first base (assembly of 1, 11, 13, and 17) including:
a front panel (2 door) fixed to the first side panel, the second side panel, the top panel, and the bottom panel and defining a front surface of the cabinet; and
a laundry inlet extending through the front panel;
a first chamber (3 inner cabinet) fixed to the front panel and disposed inside the cabinet, wherein the first chamber has a laundry receiving space defined therein communicating with the laundry inlet;
a second base (assembly of 17, 13, 11, and 19) including:
a front frame (17 front frame) disposed between the front panel and the second rear panel;
a top frame (13 side frame) extending from the front frame toward the second rear panel and spaced apart from a bottom surface of the first chamber;
a first side frame (11 body frame right)spaced apart from the first side panel; and
a second side frame (11 body frame left) spaced apart from the second side panel;
a second chamber (6 supply unit portion) defined by the front frame, the top frame, the first side frame, the second side frame, the bottom panel, and the second rear panel;
a supply unit (61 air supply unit) received in the receiving body and disposed inside the second chamber to supply at least one of air or moisture to the first chamber.[0046-99]
Park is silent to a bottom panel connecting the first side panel and the second side panel to each other and defining a bottom surfaces of the cabinet.
It would be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to provide a bottom panel in the apparatus of Park to mount the 61 air supply unit to the apparatus.[0046]
Choi is directed towards a laundry treatment apparatus wherein figure 3 teaches the moving hanger MH includes a hanger bar 51 having receiving grooves 511, in each of which a hook H of a clothes hanger 200 is received, and a support bar 53 to support opposite ends of the hanger bar 51.[0059] Choi further teaches the power conversion unit 55 may include a shaft coupling part 551 coupled to the rotary shaft 567, a rotary arm 553 extending from the shaft coupling part 551 in a direction perpendicular to the rotary shaft 567, a slot insertion part 555 provided at one end of the rotary arm 553 such that the slot insertion part 555 is rotated about the rotary shaft 567, and a slot 557 provided at the hanger bar 51 such that the slot insertion part 555 is received in the slot 557.[0068]
Although, Park teaches an air gap forming portion for thermal insulation of the inner cabinet will be described. The air gap forming portion forms an air layer between the inner cabinet 3 and the outer cabinet 7 for thermal insulation of the inner cabinet 3 from an outside of the laundry treating apparatus. Park further teaches the use of a foamed mold for thermal insulation.[0096-98]
However, Park in view of Choi fails to teach or suggest a foam plastic inserted into a foam space, defined between the cabinet, the first base, the first chamber, the support frame and the support body. The aforementioned limitations reduce vibration and noise while improving insulation effectiveness.

Accordingly, reconsideration and withdrawal of this rejection are respectfully requested.
New Claims
Independent claim 2 recites a combination of elements in a laundry treating apparatus including a cabinet including: a first side panel and a second side panel opposite to each other; a top panel and a bottom panel connecting the first side panel and the second side panel to each other, the top panel and the bottom panel defining top and bottom sides of the cabinet, respectively; a rear panel connecting the first side panel and the second side panel to each other, the rear panel defining a rear side of the cabinet; and a through-hole penetrating through the top panel; a first base including: a front panel fixed to the first side panel, the second side panel, the top panel, and the bottom panel, the front panel defining a front side of the cabinet; and a laundry inlet extending through the front panel; a first chamber fixed to the front panel and disposed inside the cabinet, the first chamber including: a laundry receiving space defined therein communicating with the laundry inlet; and a bar through-hole penetrated through a top side of the first chamber; a support frame disposed on the top panel, the support frame covering the through-hole, the support frame including a support frame through-hole penetrating through the support frame; a support body connecting the bar through-hole and the support frame through- hole; a hanger support including: a support bar disposed in the laundry receiving space, the support bar being configured to support a hanger; and a connector inserted in the support body, the connector having a first end disposed on the support frame and a second end fixed to the support bar; and a foam plastic inserted into a foam space defined between the cabinet, the first base, the first chamber, the support frame and the support body. Support for these amendments
can be seen, for example, in annotated Figures 6 and 4 of the present application, which provide
a non-limiting example of the claimed invention.
panel
Applicant respectfully submits that this combination of elements as set forth in independent claim 2 is not disclosed or made obvious by the prior art of record.
For example, to the extent that the Examiner may consider Park and Moon relevant to the pending claims, Applicant notes that the claimed invention now requires that holes are formed to position a hanger inside the first chamber, and the support body forms a path through which the hanger is supported. In addition, the claimed invention requires that a foam plastic is inserted into a foam space defined between the cabinet, the first base, the first chamber, the support frame and the support body.
Applicant respectfully submits that both Park and Moon fail to teach or suggest the claimed foam plastic in combination with the other features of claim 2. In particular, both Park and Moon lack the claimed foam plastic. Instead, only an air gap for insulation is disclosed in Park and Moon. Consequently, any combination of Park and Moon necessarily fails to disclose the claimed foam plastic, nor can Park and Moon provide the advantages of using a foam plastic, which can replace a frame of Park, thereby reducing vibration and noise while improving insulation effectiveness.
In addition, Applicant submits that claims 3-12 depend, either directly or indirectly, from independent claim 2, and are therefore allowable based on their dependence from claim 2, which is believed to be allowable. In addition, claims 3-12 recite further limitations which are not disclosed or made obvious by the applied prior art references.
Consideration and allowance of claims 2-13 are respectfully requested.
