[0130] The cap cover 170 is formed between the first hinge 152 and the second hinge 154. The cap cover 170 is disposed in the space defined by the base plate 170 and assembled. 110 and the press plate 140 .

[0131] The latch 160 is disposed opposite the first hinge 152 and the second hinge 154. The press plate 140 is attached to the other side of the press plate 140.

[0132] The latch 160 is connected to the press plate 140 and the base 140 by hook engagement when in close contact. The press plates 110 are then connected to each other. When the latch 140 is attached to the base plate 110, the hook connection is released. The switch 160 is configured to provide a one-touch hook connection.

[0133] The camouflage cover 180 is located opposite the cap cover 170 .

[0134] The camouflage cover 180 includes a first hinge 152, a second hinge 154 and a cap cover 17. The disguised cover 1 is configured to prevent the installation position of the cover 1 from being exposed to the user. 80 indicates possible positions for installing the first hinge 152, the second hinge 154 and the cap cover 170. To conceal.

[0135] The camouflage cover 180 is attached to either the base plate 110 or the press plate 140. The camouflage cover 180 is provided at the entrance where the press plate 140 is opened. can be.

[0136] In some embodiments, the camouflage cover 180 is attached to the base plate 110 .

[0137] Shapes of the attached first hinge 152, second hinge 154 and cap cover 170 The shape of the camouflage cover 180 is the same as that of the wrinkle removal module 100. The left and right sides are formed identically.

[0138] When the state of FIG. 5 is reversed to the state of FIG. 6, the first hi The hinge 152, the second hinge 154 and the cap cover 170 are attached to the right side of the press plate 140. and camouflage cover 180 on the left side to complete the reversal.

[0139] The wrinkle removal module 100 can be installed in a variety of opening and closing directions according to the needs of the user. This has the advantage that

[0140] The wrinkle removal module 100 opens and closes the press plate 140 depending on the opening and closing direction of the door 20. The direction can be set.

[0141] The garment processing device can be designed to accommodate the physical characteristics of the user, such as a disabled user or a left-handed user. The opening and closing directions of the filter 20 or the wrinkle removal module 100 can be selected. [Explanation of symbols]
