Abstract: The laundry treating apparatus includes a door to open and close the introduction port about a first rotational or a second rotational axis which is different from first rotational axis. A first switching unit is provided in the door to allow rotation of door about the first rotational axis, and a second switching unit is provided in the door to allow rotation of the door about the second rotational axis. A lock fixes a position of at least one of the first switching unit or second switching unit when the door opens the introduction port. As can be appreciated, the mechanism used for the laundry apparatus may be applicable to other home appliances or non-home appliances where two different rotational axes may be needed to open and close a door.

Abstract translation: 衣物处理装置包括门，用于围绕与第一旋转轴线不同的第一旋转轴或第二旋转轴线打开和关闭导入口。 第一切换单元设置在门中以允许门围绕第一旋转轴线旋转，并且第二切换单元设置在门中以允许门围绕第二旋转轴线旋转。 当门打开引入口时，锁固定第一切换单元或第二切换单元中的至少一个的位置。 可以理解，用于洗衣设备的机构可以应用于其他家用电器或非家用电器，其中可能需要两个不同的旋转轴来打开和关闭门。
