Used laundry items are delivered unsorted to laundries. It has previously been usual to initially sort the laundry items after delivery and treat the sorted laundry items, at least by washing, drying, mangling and folding. The preliminary sorting is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The invention proposes to treat unsorted at least those laundry items which must be mangled. Only before folding are the still unsorted laundry items identified and folded in targeted fashion accordingly. After folding, the identified laundry items are sorted according to their identified criteria, in that folded laundry items with the same criteria are stacked on a respective stack of similarly treated and folded laundry items. This reduces the complexity of sorting laundry items.

The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment apparatus including a cabinet having an entrance formed in one surface thereof, a first chamber, which is positioned in the cabinet and receives laundry therein through the entrance, a second chamber, which is positioned below the first chamber and defines a space isolated from the first chamber, a door having a mount space defined therein and rotatably coupled to the cabinet so as to open and close the entrance, a door inner plate facing the entrance, and a roller-type press unit, which is coupled to the door inner plate so as to press suspended pants and removes wrinkles from the pants, wherein power is supplied to the press unit through the interior space of the door.

A roller apparatus for treating at least one web passing through the apparatus, the apparatus comprising a pattern roller in the form of a first cylindrical body mounted for rotation around an elongate axis (A) of the first cylindrical body, and an anvil roller in the form of a second cylindrical body mounted for rotation around an elongate axis (B) of the second cylindrical body. The pattern and anvil rollers are located adjacent each other to define a nip between outer cylindrical surfaces of the first and second cylindrical bodies. The first and second cylindrical bodies are configured to rotate, in use, in opposite directions to each other so as to draw the at least one web through the nip defined between the outer cylindrical surfaces of the first and second cylindrical bodies. The outer cylindrical surface of the first cylindrical body defines a raised profile section having a predetermined shape that extends both widthwise and circumferentially of the first cylindrical body. The pattern roller incorporates an elongate cartridge heater extending widthwise along the elongate axis (A) of the first cylindrical body. The cartridge heater defines at least two outer zones located widthwise on opposite sides of a centrally located middle zone. The cartridge heater is configured to generate, in use, more heat in the outer zones than in the middle zone.
