    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus includes a tub configured to hold wash water, a drum rotatably supported in the tub and including a shaft disposed perpendicular with the ground, and a sub-drum detachably mounted to an inner circumferential surface of the drum and configured to wash laundry independently from the drum. An information tag is disposed in the sub-drum, the tag containing information about the laundry. A reading unit is configured to acquire the information about the laundry from the information tag. A control unit is configured to determine a washing course to be performed in the sub-drum based on the information acquired by the reading unit.

    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus includes: a tub providing a space for storing water; a drum disposed in the tub in a rotatable manner to provide a space for storing clothing; a detergent box which is disposed outside the tub to provide a space for storing a detergent, and receives supply of water only from the tub; a tub through-hole passing through an inner circumferential surface of the tub; and a connection part having one side communicating with the tub through-hole and the other side communicating with the detergent box so that at least a portion of water moving in the direction of the inner circumferential surface of the tub due to a centrifugal force generated when the drum rotates is introduced into the detergent box, mixed with the detergent, and then discharged back to the inner circumferential surface of the tub again.

    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus comprises a tub provided to hold wash water; a drum rotatably provided in the tub and comprising a shaft which is perpendicular to the ground; a sub-drum detachably mounted to the drum and configured to wash laundry after being inserted in an inner circumferential surface of the drum, independent from the drum; a water supply unit configured to supply wash water; and a detergent box provided in the sub-drum to store wash detergent therein and comprising a detergent discharging unit configured to discharge the wash water supplied from the water supply unit and the detergent into the sub-drum.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a laundry treating apparatus. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a tub for receiving washing-water therein; a first drum rotatably disposed within the tub; a second drum disposed in the first drum so as to be attachable or detachable to or from the first drum, wherein washing of a laundry by the second drum is performed separately from washing of a laundry by the first drum; and a guide rib projected from an upper portion of a inner circumferential face of the second drum toward a center of the second drum, wherein the guide rib is constructed to guide wash-water rising up via a rotational force of the second drum to flow toward a center of the second drum and then to fall down.

    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus includes a tub; a first drum disposed within the tub; a second drum disposed in the first drum and configured to couple to the first drum and to perform washing separately from the first drum; and a water discharge mechanism mounted on the second drum. The water discharge mechanism includes: a seat portion extending radially inwardly from a side wall of the second drum; a water receiving hole defined in the seat portion for receiving washing water from the second drum; and a water-discharging hole defined in the side wall for discharging washing water to an outside. The water discharge mechanism is configured to selectively flow washing-water into the discharge mechanism through the water receiving hole or discharge washing-water to the outside through the water-discharging hole, based on a magnitude of centrifugal force cause by rotation of the second drum.
