Description

Device with integrated laundry treatment function and method for using said device

Technical Field

The invention relates to a device with integrated laundry treatment function and a method for using the device.

Background

Wardrobes into which laundry treatment functions are integrated and by means of which shirts that are hung in the wardrobe can be ironed out, for example automatically, are known from the prior art, for example from WO 2016 099 A1 and US 2015 0 159 315 A1. Another example of such a wardrobe is made by the company

Or alternatively

(sold as LG Styler).

Typically, the laundry treatment wardrobe may refresh, dry, scent, and/or iron the laundry disposed therein. The folds should be removed by drying the shirt held in tension by the hold-open system. In order to unfold the shirt, different methods are used depending on the appliance and the manufacturer, such as inflating a fabric or inflating an ironing stand inserted into the shirt with hot air. Furthermore, it is typically provided to flow a gas and/or air stream around the laundry in order to refresh and/or dry the laundry thereby.

However, it is disadvantageous in such devices with integrated washing functions that, in particular when a plurality of items of laundry are to be placed in the device, the device must generally be dimensioned relatively large. In order to ensure the free space required by the individual items of clothing to ensure an optimal flow of air and/or air around the items of clothing, the respective clothing-holding brackets can be positioned at a defined distance from one another. Correspondingly, the device must be dimensioned to be large.

Disclosure of Invention

Starting from this, the object of the invention is to provide a device with an integrated washing function which saves installation space and a corresponding method, by means of which the laundry can be treated as optimally as possible.

This object is achieved by a device according to the preferred embodiment and a method according to the preferred embodiment. Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the alternative solutions as well as from the description and the drawings.

According to a first aspect of the invention, a device with an integrated laundry treatment function is provided, in particular a laundry treatment furniture for domestic use, wherein in an operating state a first laundry item and/or a second laundry item is subjected to a treatment in the device, wherein the device has a first carrier for holding the first laundry item and at least one second carrier for holding the second laundry item, wherein the device is designed in such a way that a distance between the first carrier and the second carrier can be changed by means of an actuator device in order to expose at least one side of the first laundry item and/or a distance between the first carrier and a wall side of the device can be changed in order to expose at least one side of the first laundry item.

With respect to the prior art, the subject matter according to the invention is arranged such that at least one side of the first garment can be exposed and then subjected to an individual treatment. In particular, the device according to the invention allows for a staged treatment of the first and second laundry, wherein at least one side of the first laundry is exposed in turn such that, for example, a gas or air flow can be directed through said side of the first laundry. The first or second item of clothing is then preferably arranged by means of the first and second carrier in such a way that a free space is provided inside the first sub-area, which is advantageous for the treatment, while the second item of clothing which is not treated in the at least one second sub-area and is located there can be arranged directly next to one another. The entire required installation space inside the device can thus be limited, since no corresponding free space has to be provided between all first or second items of clothing.

Preferably, the first partial region comprises a free space, which forms a channel along which a gas or air flow can be guided. In this case, a gas or air stream can be introduced into the first partial region, in particular into the free space forming the channel, in a targeted manner by means of the treatment device. Thereby, the first laundry or the second laundry may be treated, e.g. refreshed, accordingly. Preferably, the treatment device has a line or a line system. Advantageously, the gas or air flow may preferably be temperature regulated or incorporate perfumes, aerosols and/or ozone in order to produce a determined effect on the first or second garment. Furthermore, the use of steam, other auxiliary substances such as ozone is common. The treatment device accordingly has a heating device and/or a cooling device and the device for mixing a gas or air flow with a fragrance or aerosol.

Preferably, the first and second supports are driven by a common actuator means to perform different movements in order to induce a desired orientation of the first and second garments. However, it is also possible to provide that the first and/or second support is/are each driven by a separate actuator device, for example a servomotor. It is advantageous here that the individual positions can be moved arbitrarily and do not necessarily have to be adjacent to one another. Examples of clothing items are trousers, shirts, coats and/or uniforms. However, a bag with loosely piled textile can also be understood as a garment here. It is furthermore preferably provided that the device is laundry treatment furniture, in particular a laundry treatment cabinet or a drawer cabinet. The device comprises, for example, a door or flap, by means of which the device can be opened and closed. The user thus gains access to the interior of the device in order to hang the first/second support there, for example on a rail, in particular without having to enter the device.

Preferably, all the first and/or second laundry items arranged in the device are subjected to the treatment in sequence within one cycle. The first and/or second support is in particular designed as a clothes hanger. In this case, it is preferably provided that the device is configured such that the position of the first holder and the second holder, in particular their relative spacing with respect to one another, is unambiguously determined at each point in time during a cycle. For example, the movement sequences required for this purpose are stored in a memory device of a control device, by means of which the individual actuator device or a plurality of actuator devices can be controlled. It is furthermore preferably provided that the first and/or second carrier is positioned such that a channel for guiding a gas or air flow is formed, the width of which, measured perpendicularly to the main plane of extension of the suspended first or second garment, has a width of at least 5cm, preferably at least 6.5cm or particularly preferably more than 7.5cm. The main extension plane is determined by the orientation of the first or second item of clothing extending in a flat manner in the suspended state.

According to a preferred embodiment, the device has a rail, along which the first carriage and the second carriage are movably arranged. In particular, the first carriage and each second carriage move at least once in a cycle. The first and second supports can be moved relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the rail by being mounted so as to be movable on the rail, so that a correspondingly desired spacing between the first and second supports can be achieved. The movement is in particular carried out automatically, preferably completely automatically, and is synchronized with the treatment cycle of the respective first or second laundry item, i.e. at least one side of the first laundry item is first exposed and then subjected to the treatment. Subsequently, the other side of the first item of clothing or the second item of clothing is selectively exposed by further moving the first and/or second carrier, so that a further treatment, in particular a further treatment of the other side of the first item of clothing or of the one side of the second item of clothing, can take place immediately after the new positioning. This may continue to such an extent that all the laundry arranged inside the device is exposed accordingly and then treated. Preferably, it can be provided that both the first support and the second support are moved in order to expose the respective element. It can even be provided here that the first carrier and/or the second carrier are moved toward the second partial region in such a way that they press the items of clothing arranged in the second partial region in order to provide the free space required for treating at least one side of the first item of clothing in the first free space.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the first and second supports can be driven or driven by the actuator device or by a common actuator device. If the actuator device is an individual actuator device, for example an individual motor, in particular a servomotor, repair or maintenance work can advantageously be simplified, since usually only a single element of the actuator device has to be removed. In this case, the individual actuator devices ensure a back-and-forth movement of the respective carrier. The actuator device preferably acts on a fastening element or a bracket, on which the first or second bracket can in turn be releasably mounted. It can be provided here that the ends of adjacent fastening elements or hangers or rails serve as dynamic stops. If a common actuator device is provided, the actuator device preferably comprises elements for coordinating the individual fixing elements on which the first or second support is in turn mounted. The elements used for coordination are in particular actuators, by means of which the respective position of the respective fastening element during a cycle is unambiguously determined. The movement of the transmission device advantageously enables a specific orientation of the individual fastening elements and thus of the first and/or second support to be determined. This is technically less complex than driving the individual fastening elements individually and is therefore particularly preferred. Preferably, the first and/or second support comprises an inflatable hanger, for example a different inflatable chamber. However, it can also be provided that the first support and/or the second support is/are designed as a spreader frame.

Preferably, the actuator device has a slotted guide for laterally displacing the first and/or second support in order to orient the first and/or second support. By means of the slotted guide, a simple means for coordinating the respective positions of the fastening elements can be provided. In this case, the respective fastening element preferably engages with its engagement region with the groove, and the runner moves with its groove at least temporarily during operation, and the engagement region of the fastening element is offset by the course of the runner following the course of the respective runner. In this case, it can be provided that the guide slot guide is exchangeable, i.e. if it is desired to change the temporal course and/or the lateral orientation of the individual fastening elements relative to one another, the respective course of the individual guide slots provided for the individual fastening elements can be exchanged.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the actuator device has a fastening element, i.e. a suspension device, wherein the fastening element has an interface region for coupling the first and/or second carrier to the fastening element and an engagement region for engaging with a groove or groove of the slotted guide. The interface region in particular allows the first and second brackets to be mounted releasably and/or replaceably on the fixing element. The interface is configured, for example, as a hook or an eyelet or the like, into which a hook, for example configured as a first and/or second support of the clothes hanger, can be hung. It may be provided here that the interface region is configured such that it prevents the first and/or second item of clothing or the first and/or second carrier from rotating during a movement in the longitudinal direction of the rail. For example, the hook of the first or second bracket is fixed between two plate-like elements. Furthermore, it is provided that the engagement region is designed as a pin element which engages with a correspondingly configured groove of the sliding groove.

Preferably, the gate guide is part of a rotary and/or translational body. The guide slot arrangement is arranged, for example, on the outer side of the roller, i.e., the rotary body, so that, when the rotary body or the roller rotates, the slot of the guide slot arrangement is moved relative to the engagement region of the fastening element and thus a lateral offset in the longitudinal direction of the rail can be induced. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the gate guide is inserted into a plate which is moved in a lateral or oblique movement (for example perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail) relative to the rail in order to initiate a lateral movement of the mating region arranged in the respective groove in the longitudinal direction of the rail. The design as a rotary body has proven to be particularly space-saving and the rotary body can be driven to rotate particularly easily by an end-mounted electric motor.

According to a preferred embodiment, the guide chute has a section which comprises a periodic, for example sinusoidal, course for moving the first laundry item back and forth during the treatment. The first item of clothing can thus be deflected to and fro in the exposed space during the treatment by means of the chute guide, instead of being oriented permanently. It may also be provided that the slotted link guide is moved back and forth, i.e. the motor changes its rotational direction or drive direction, for example, or that the slotted link guide has a meandering or sinusoidal course at least in sections. In particular, a plurality of sinusoidal run sections of the slotted guide device are preferably provided, which are phase-shifted relative to one another and which enable the oscillating movements of adjacent carriers to be coordinated with one another. The air dynamics during the treatment are improved by the movement, as a result of which poor or untreated dead zones on the first item of clothing can be avoided as a result of the otherwise occurring formation of flow barriers.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the actuator device has a slider element which is mounted on a rail of the device so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the rail, and that the fastening element preferably passes through the slider element. The stability of the fastening element during a single movement can be increased by mounting it on a slider element which preferably matches a corresponding guide of the rail. In particular, it can be provided that the slider element is made of a rubber element and/or of plastic, whereby the fastening element can also be placed slightly obliquely in order to thereby possibly avoid buckling in the respective runner or runner guide.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device is configured such that the first support is during the treatment

Is arranged essentially midway between two adjacent second supports or between an adjacent second support and a wall side of the device, or

-substantially in the area adjoining the second adjacent bracket or in the area adjoining the wall side of the device. By forming two channels arranged intermediately between two adjacent second brackets or between an adjacent second bracket and a wall side extending substantially parallel along a main extension plane of the first garment or the first garment, a gas flow and/or an air flow may be guided through the channels. In this orientation, the individual first garments can be prepared in one single treatment step. Here, the side of the adjacent second garment facing the first garment is also subjected to a treatment. In embodiments where the first rack is directly adjacent to the second rack or the wall side, a channel is formed only between the first garment and the second garment or between the first garment and the wall side. In contrast to the arrangement in the middle, it is thus not possible to achieve a placement by means of which individual items of laundry can be treated as a whole during the treatment phase. Instead, the other side to be handled in a subsequent step is made accessible by moving the first carriage.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device comprises a treatment device which provides a gas or air flow, wherein the treatment device is configured such that it sets the orientation of the gas or air flow depending on the position of the exposed side of the first garment. The exposure zone is moved from one wall side of the device to the opposite wall side during the cycle as a result of the sequential treatment of the individual clothes arranged side by side. Accordingly, the treatment device takes this into account and only generates or initiates an air or gas flow in the region in which the currently exposed side of the first or second item of clothing is actually accessible. This can be achieved, for example, by moving the treatment device as well, and/or by the treatment device extending in the longitudinal direction over the length of the rail and exclusively opening an outlet on the treatment device in a targeted manner by means of the gate system and/or valve system depending on the current position of the exposed side of the first laundry item and/or the second laundry item.

Preferably, the first carrier is designed in such a way that a first section of the first garment is stretched during the treatment substep, while a second section of the first garment is not stretched. The same applies in a similar manner to the second holder. In an advantageous manner, it is thereby possible to avoid completely blowing the first item of clothing for treatment and a correspondingly large amount of installation space is required. Instead, only one section of the first item of clothing is stretched out, so that the device with the integrated laundry treatment function can be dimensioned correspondingly smaller.

Preferably, the actuator device has a sensor for detecting the current position of the first support and/or the second support. The actuator device can thus be synchronized accordingly with the treatment cycle of the individual items of laundry by means of the information detected by the sensor. The actuator device is preferably a simple single-phase synchronous variable-speed motor having at least one reference sensor and a temporally controlled or monitored position of the rotary body, a stepping motor (BLDC motor) with a predetermined position and at least one defined reference. However, any similar drive device, which is different from the actuator device and has at least one sensor for detecting the position of the gear or the slide groove, can also be provided.

A further aspect of the invention is a method for treating a first garment and/or a second garment, comprising:

-arranging a first garment on a first rack,

the first carrier is arranged next to the second carrier in a device with integrated laundry treatment function, in particular in a device according to the invention,

-exposing at least one side of the first garment by means of an actuator-induced movement of the first or second support, and

-treating the exposed side of the first garment. All features and advantages described for the device can be transferred to the method and vice versa.

According to a preferred embodiment, the actuator device operates continuously. In particular, it is provided that, in continuous operation, all the fastening elements are moved continuously and simultaneously, in particular continuously (for a duration exceeding the treatment duration), in such a way that the rotating body is, for example, in uniform and continuous rotation. This can be achieved in a relatively simple manner by means of a single-phase synchronous motor. In this case, it is particularly preferably provided that the gear or the link guide is designed such that all the fastening elements are permanently, i.e. always in motion, and in particular preferably continuously change their speed. In particular, phase-shifted sinusoidal grooves can be considered as runners of the runner guide. Due to the continuous movement of the fastening element and thus of the first carrier and/or the second carrier, flow-blocking regions and dead zones can be avoided, since movement is also effected in the first or second item of clothing in the second partial region. Alternatively, it can be provided that the actuator device shifts the gate into a position in which a fixed distance between the first and/or second carrier or the wall side exists. The position is then maintained during processing. After the end of the treatment, the actuator device is again set in motion, which causes the first and/or second support to be displaced laterally in the longitudinal direction of the rail.

It is particularly preferably provided that the first item of clothing is treated differently than the second item of clothing. In particular, it is provided that the first and/or second laundry items are subjected to individually adapted treatments and corresponding parameters are set for this purpose. Examples of such parameters are time, temperature, manner of treatment, e.g. type and amount of additives and/or flow rate. In this case, it is advantageous if the chute provides a corresponding profile which ensures a corresponding waiting time for the first or second laundry items treated in the first partial region. Preferably, the motor can also be controlled in such a way that a desired waiting time is set. In this way, the treatment for the individual items of laundry can be set individually in an advantageous manner. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the position or orientation of the slotted guide is used to control the respective parameter to be set. That is, the parameters are determined, set or changed depending on the orientation of the chute guide. Preferably, the parameter selection is matched to the respective type of clothing item, for example the parameter set of the coat is different from the parameter set for the shirt.

Detailed Description

In fig. 1, a first garment 21 in the form of a shirt is shown. Here, the first garment 21 is arranged on a first support 31, for example a clothes hanger. The first laundry item 21 can be placed in the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function by means of the first carrier 31. For this purpose, the first carrier 31 has, for example, hook elements which can be suspended from corresponding rails 7 in the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function. The first laundry 31 may be treated while suspended in the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function. Preferably, for this purpose, the first item of clothing 31 is surrounded on both sides by a gas or air flow. Here, the gas or air flow may incorporate a fragrance or aerosol, by means of which the first laundry 21 may be refreshed in an advantageous manner. Alternatively and/or additionally, it is provided that the gas or air flow is temperature-regulated, i.e. cooled or heated, and then guided past the first laundry item 21 in the temperature-regulated state. For this purpose, the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function comprises a treatment device, such as a line system for guiding a gas or air flow, a heating and/or cooling device for tempering the gas or air flow, a reservoir with a fragrance and/or a nozzle-like outlet opening, through which the gas or air flow can be directed specifically at the first laundry item 21.

In the suspended state, the first garment 21 forms a substantially planar body which extends along the main extension plane HSE. The thickness B1 of the first garment 21, measured perpendicularly to the main extension plane HSE, may then be, for example, 20cm. Here, for optimally treating the first garment 21, it has proven advantageous to provide a free space for the gas or air flow on each side S of the first garment 21, the width B2 of which, measured perpendicular to the main plane of extension HSE, is at least 5cm. Thereby, a passage 9 for a gas or air flow is provided, which ensures that the first garment 21 is treated evenly or uniformly on both sides S.

Fig. 2 shows a device 1 with an integrated laundry treatment function, in which a further second laundry item 22 is arranged next to the first laundry item 21. In particular, the device 1 is a piece of furniture designed for domestic use. The device 1 comprises a housing 3 and, in an upper section of the housing 3, a rail 7 to which a first support 31 and a plurality of second supports 32 can be releasably fastened. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the device 1 can be closed, for example, by means of a door, a flap or a roller blind. In this case, the first and second items of

clothing

21 and 22, respectively, which are arranged next to one another inside the housing 3 must be kept at a distance from one another, so that a channel 9 of sufficiently large dimensions for guiding the gas or air flow is formed between them. In this case, a construction space of approximately 130cm is required for the five shirts shown, in order to ensure optimum handling of the first and

second clothing items

21, 22. Finally, it must also be considered for this purpose to provide the necessary free space between the first garment 21 and the second garment 22, the free space between the second garment 22 and the free space between the first garment 21 or the second garment 22 and the housing 3.

Fig. 3 shows a device 1 according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention with integrated laundry treatment function in the upper half. It is provided here that the device 1 is configured or designed for automatically moving the first support 31 and/or the second support 32 along the longitudinal direction L of the rail 7 by means of one or more actuator devices 40. In particular, the movement or displacement in the longitudinal direction L of the rail 7 is designed or coordinated such that the first garment 21 is exposed. The first support 31 is thus oriented or positioned for treatment by the gas or air flow in such a way that the free space required for forming the desired channel 9 is formed on both sides S of the first garment 21. The first garment 21 is then treated after positioning of the first garment 21. In particular, it is provided that the treatment takes place only in the first partial region T1 within the device 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the air flow passes through both sides S of the first garment 21 and respectively one side S of the adjacent second garment 22. The treatment takes place in the first partial region T1, while the second laundry 22 in the second partial region T2 remains untreated at the same time. In this case, the distance between the second items of clothing 22 can be reduced or the distance between the second items of clothing 22 and one of the wall sides of the housing 3 can be reduced. Therefore, it is not necessary to space all laundry items at a desired distance in the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function.

Accordingly, the device 1 can be dimensioned small, in particular in a direction perpendicular to the main extension plane HSE of the first garment 21 or the second garment 22 to be hung or parallel to the longitudinal direction L of the rail 7.

Furthermore, it is provided that all first laundry items 21 or second laundry items 22 are subjected to a treatment in stages or in succession in the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function. This is exemplarily shown in the lower half of fig. 3. It is shown here how the first support 31 and the second support 32, from the illustration in the upper half, move in time. It can be seen that the first rack 31 and the second rack 32 are positioned so as to expose in sequence the first garment 31 and then the second garment in turn, respectively, in the device 1, so as to subject them individually to the respective treatments in the exposed state. One further advantage of the embodiment shown in fig. 3 is that each side S of the first and

second garments

21, 22 is subjected to two treatments.

In order to ensure that the respective treatment takes place at the respectively changed position in the device by means of the treatment device, it is preferably provided that the treatment device is moved, in particular moved, into the first partial region T1 of the first garment being treated at the present time. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the treatment device extends over the entire length of the first and

second garments

21, 22 arranged next to one another and blows a gas or air stream specifically only into the first partial region T1 by means of valves and/or closing flaps.

Fig. 4 shows a device 1 according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention with integrated laundry care function in the upper half. As in the embodiment of fig. 3, it is provided here that the first support 31 and the second support 32 are moved by means of one or more actuators. This embodiment differs from the embodiment from fig. 3 in that only one side S of the first garment 21 and only one side S of the second garment 22 facing the first garment 21 are exposed by the movement of the first and

second brackets

31, 32, respectively. Thereby, only one single narrow passage 9 for a gas or air flow is formed in the direction extending perpendicular to the main extension plane HSE. In the lower half of fig. 4, the first rack 31 and the second rack 32 are again shown in different positions within a cycle for treating all laundry in the device 1 with integrated laundry treatment function. It can be seen how the first partial region T1 provided for processing is moved within the cycle in succession by the corresponding positioning of the first support 31 and the second support and the individual channels 9 are each realized.

It is particularly obvious to the person skilled in the art that the orientation from fig. 3 and 4 can be set, for example, by means of a corresponding control unit which preferably also allows switching between the two orientation modes from fig. 3 and 4.

Fig. 5 shows an exemplary actuator device 40 for moving the first support 31 and the second support 32. In this case, actuator device 40 is arranged above rail 7. The rail 7 can be designed to support a fastening element 43, to which the first support 31 and/or the second support 32 can in turn be fastened. For this purpose, a slider element 45 is provided, on which the fastening element 43 is mounted and/or through which the fastening element 43 passes. In order to receive or couple first carrier 31 or second carrier 32 to a respective fastening element 43, fastening element 43 has an interface 41 on the side facing away from actuator device 40. Fastening element 43 has, for example, on its side facing away from actuator device 40, hooks and/or eyes, to which first bracket 31 and/or second bracket 32 can be fastened. Fastening element 43 has a pin-like end on the side facing actuator device 40. The slider element 45 is in turn mounted so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction L of the rail 7. For this purpose, the rail 7 has, for example, a corresponding slot or a slot. Furthermore, the actuator device 40 is configured as a rotary body 50 or roller which can be driven by a motor 49 to rotate about the axis of rotation R. The rotary body 50 has a groove or slot 47 on its outer circumference, which serves as a slotted guide for the pin-like end of the fastening element 43. The pin-like end forms the fastening element 43 or the engagement region 42 of the suspension device. When the rotation of the rotary body 50 is initiated, for example by means of a motor 49 mounted on the end face of the rotary body 50, the pin-shaped end and thus the fastening element 43 are displaced laterally in the respective gate path, i.e. in the longitudinal direction L of the rail 7. For this purpose, the groove or groove 47 running around in the circumferential direction on the rotary body 50 is designed such that its course has an axial component at least in sections.

Fig. 6 shows an exemplary profile for a slotted guide for actuator device 40 from fig. 5. The respective groove course relative to the angle of rotation of the rotary body 50 is shown here for five different grooves or grooves 47. The track is configured such that the first support 31 or the second support 32 is moved in succession to one side. In particular, the first support 31 or all the second supports 32 are shifted by the same distance to one side after a half turn, i.e. after a turn of 180 °. It is preferably provided that the slotted guide is configured such that the first holder 31 and the second holder 32 return into their initial position after a complete revolution of the rotating body 50. It is thus possible to use a motor 49 with only one direction of rotation. Alternatively, it can be provided that after a cycle in which all the items of laundry are subjected to one treatment each, the motor 49 changes its direction of rotation and the first rack 31 or the second rack 32 is again guided back into its initial position. It may also be provided that the sliding groove is not integrated in the rotary body 50 but in a plate that can be moved in a translatory manner. Furthermore, it can be provided that the course of the gate has at least in sections a meandering and/or oscillating course. Thereby, the first laundry 21 and/or the second laundry 22 can be driven in an oscillating, i.e. back and forth, movement in the longitudinal direction L of the rail 7, in particular at the point in time when the first laundry 21 or the second laundry 22 is treated accordingly. Accordingly, the oscillating course of the link is immediately followed by a lateral axially offset section and ends, for example, with a lateral axially offset section of an adjacent link, wherein the axially offset section ensures a lateral offset. Furthermore, it can be provided that the rotary body 50 rotates continuously or that this rotation is interrupted at least temporarily, in particular after the first support 31 or the second support 32 has been moved.

Fig. 7 shows a flowchart illustrating a method for treating a first garment 21 or a second garment 22 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Here, the method starts with a first laundry 21 and a second laundry 22 arrangement 100 in a device 1 with an integrated laundry treatment function. For this purpose, the first garment is preferably stretched over the first support 31 or the second garment 22 is stretched over the second support 32 during the preparation phase. The first rack 31 and/or the second rack 32 are then moved to expose 102 the first garment 21 or a side S of the first garment 21. The first garment 21 and/or a side S of the first garment 21 is then treated 103. After process 103 ends, first rack 31 and/or second rack 32 is caused to continue moving 104 to expose the other side of second garment 22 or first garment 21. After positioning the first rack 31 and/or the second rack 32 accordingly, a further process 105 is carried out on the second garment 22 or on the other side S of the second garment 22. After the continued treatment of all

laundry items
