Abstract:
The present invention relates to a laundry treating apparatus that smoothly agitates laundry with as large space as possible for receiving laundry. The laundry treating apparatus includes: a rotatable drum that receives laundry, has open front and rear, and is formed to have a non-circular closed cross-section; a rotatable upper circular guide that is disposed with the rotational center higher than the rotational center of the drum and supports a portion having a uniform curvature at the upper portion of the drum; a rotatable lower circular guide that is disposed with the rotational center lower than the rotational center of the drum and supports a portion having a uniform curvature at the lower portion of the drum; and a driving mechanism rotating the drum by rotating the upper circular guide or the lower circular guide.
