An apparatus for ironing fabric-containing articles is provided. The apparatus includes a board having a top surface, and a tray movably coupled with the board. The tray comprises a base portion, and a top portion coupled with the base portion. The tray is configured to be movable from an open configuration to a closed configuration. In the open configuration, one end of the tray is extended away from the board. An iron can be placed onto the top portion of the tray. In the closed configuration, the tray is folded onto a portion of the board for storage.

The carrying element (3) of the present invention is formed in relation to the ironing surface (1) of the ironing board. The carrying element (3) is in the form of a reservoir that allows additional material storage. The reservoir consists of at least one plate guide (4). Plate guides (4) define the mounting guides that allow movable plates (5) to be attached and detached.

The present application relates to a clothing processing apparatus comprising: a cabinet provided with a first housing and a second housing which provide an accommodation space; an outlet passing through the upper surface of the cabinet and communicating with the second housing; a first support part that can rotate from one surface of the cabinet toward the upper surface of the cabinet, and provides a space in which clothing is supported; a processing part which can be withdrawn from the first housing and provided so as to supply at least one of heat or moisture to the clothing; a body which can be withdrawn from the second housing via the outlet; and a second support part which is provided in the body and located above the first support part, provides a space in which the clothing is supported, and has a smaller area than the first support part. The second support part includes: a first board which is fixed to the body so as to be capable of rotating from the body toward the upper surface of the first support part; and a second board which is rotatably fixed to the first board so as to be capable of rotating on a plane parallel to the upper surface of the first support part, and which provides a space in which the clothing is supported.

A drain pump and a clothes dryer having a drain pump are provided. The drain pump may include a pump motor; an impeller including a hub, an impeller shaft that extends from a center of the hub and is connected to a rotational shaft of the pump motor, and at least one blade that extends from an outer circumferential surface of the impeller shaft; a housing including an impeller hole, through which the impeller may pass, and a space in which the pump motor may be accommodated; and a pump case coupled to a bottom surface of the housing. The pump case may have a suction hole to suction in cleaning water. The suction hole may be defined at a position corresponding to the impeller, and the pump case may include a shaft shield that extends from an edge of the suction hole in a central direction of the suction hole or toward a central portion of the suction hole to cover a lower end of the impeller shaft.

The present application relates to a garment treatment device comprising a base, a support structure extending upwardly from the base, and an ironing board connected to the support structure. The ironing board is pivotable relative to the support structure and positionable into a first operative position in which the ironing board is horizontal, and a second operative position in which the ironing board is vertical. The ironing board comprises a first section and a second section hingedly coupled together and pivotable relative to each other between an operative position in which they extend co-planar to each other and a storage position in which they are pivoted away from a co-planar orientation. The first and second ironing board sections (4a,4b) and the hinge mechanism (18) are configured such that the first and second ironing board sections (4a,4b) pivot away from each other from said operative position towards said storage position. The garment treatment device thereby advantageously enables garment it treatment in a variety of orientations, such as flat ironing or vertical steaming, with the ironing board providing garment support in all operative positions. Also, the garment treatment device advantageously allows for a compact configuration in the storage position for efficiency of storage space.

An ironing board includes a board (1), an iron rest (13) and two legs (4, 5), at least one beam member (2, 3) rigidly connected to the lower surface of the board (1) and guiding one end of one (4) of the legs in a sliding manner, a portion (2a, 3a) of the at least one beam member (2, 3) protruding from the edge of the board (1) and the iron rest (13) being supported on the protruding portion (2a, 3a).

A garment steamer with an inclinable ironing board (100) comprises a base (10) and a support structure (50) that includes an upper part (51), a lower part (52) and an ironing board (60) attached to the upper part. The garment steamer further comprises an inclining structure (70) including an inclining linkage (80) that connects the upper and lower parts, wherein the upper part (51) is inclinable relative to the lower part (52) at an angle between horizontal and vertical. The inclining linkage (80) comprises first and second link arms (83,84) extending between and pivotably connecting with the upper and lower parts. The first link arm (83) is longer than the second link arm (84) such that upper part (51) assumes an inclined position relative to the lower part (52) when the upper and lower ends of the link arms (83,84) are pivoted about the upper and lower parts (51,52), respectively.
