Abstract

A clothing treatment apparatus capable of enabling an orientation of a bag body and an orientation of an ozone supply apparatus to keep a desired relationship is provided. A clothing deodorizing apparatus comprises a bag body for accommodating clothing; an ozone supply apparatus for supplying air into the bag body; an introduction pipe for guiding the air with the ozone exhausted from the ozone supply apparatus into the bag body; a cylindrical part formed on the bag body and fixed with one end part of the introduction pipe; and an inserting port part formed on the ozone supply apparatus and configured to detachably install the other end part of the introduction pipe in a specified orientation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A clothing treatment apparatus, comprising:
a bag body for accommodating clothes;
an ozone supply apparatus for supplying air with ozone into the bag body;
an introduction pipe for guiding the air with the ozone exhausted from the ozone supply apparatus into the bag body;
a fixing part formed on the bag body and fixed with one end part of the introduction pipe, the one end part of the introduction pipe is cylindrical, and the fixing part is cylindrical and encircles the one end part of the introduction pipe;
an installation part formed on the ozone supply apparatus and configured to detachably install the other end part of the introduction pipe in a specified orientation, wherein
a prevention unit for preventing the introduction pipe from rotating is arranged between the one end part of the introduction pipe and the fixing part along an in-plane direction perpendicular to an installation direction of the introduction pipe to the fixing part; and
the prevention unit comprises:
a bundling belt wound on the fixing part that encircles the one end part of the introduction pipe and configured to fasten the fixing part inwards; and
a protruding part formed on the one end part of the introduction pipe and clamped on a connecting part between a head and a belt part of the bundling belt.

2. The clothing treatment apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixing part comprises:
a belt penetrating part for the belt part to penetrate through; and
a shielding part for shielding the connecting part which is exposed to the fixing part instead of penetrating through the belt penetrating part.

3. The clothing treatment apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the clothing treatment apparatus further comprises:
a base for fixing the ozone supply apparatus;
a supporting post extending upwards from the base; and
a bag body retention part arranged on an upper end of the supporting post so as to retain an upper part of the bag body in such a manner that a front surface of the bag body and one surface of the ozone supply apparatus face the same direction, wherein
the introduction pipe is arranged on the ozone supply apparatus in such a manner that the front surface of the bag body and the one surface of the ozone supply apparatus face the same direction.
