- the base plate 200 may include the roller 210 to move the base plate 200 smoothly.
- roller 210 is installed at corners of the base plate 200 in plural, because the tray is moved, with being supported by the roller 210.
- the roller 210 includes a rotatable wheel 212 and a shaft 214 coupled to a center of the wheel 212. That is, the wheel 212 is coupled to the shaft 214 to be secured to the base plate 200. The wheel 212 rotates about the shaft in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
- the base plate 200 may include a projection (not shown) projected in a longitudinal direction of the both opposite sides of the base plate 200. It is preferable that the projection is formed at the portion where the roller 210 is installed. For example, the projection is positioned in a line connecting the wheels provided at the predetermined portion of the base plate 200.
- the projection may be projected downward from the base plate 200.
- a guide groove 191 may be formed at an upper surface of the guide member in a longitudinal direction and the roller 210 may move on the guide member 190, with being seated in the guide groove 191.

- the projection may be inserted in the guide groove 191.
- the projection may guide the motion of the base plate 200 in a state of being inserted in the guide groove 191.
- the length of the guide groove 191 may be similar to the length of the projection.
- the base plate 200 may be prevented from being separated by itself or by the vibration in order to maintain the state of the projection being securely inserted in the guide groove 191.
- a protrusion 196 is projected from the guide groove 191 and it is preferable that the protrusion 196 is provided at an entrance portion where the base plate 200 is inserted in the mechanism compartment 120. That is, the wheel 212 may pass the protrusion 196 before being inserted in the guide groove 191.
- the worker can determine whether the base plate 200 is inserted in the right position because of the protrusion 196, when assembling the base plate 200 to the mechanism compartment 120.
- the base plate 200 passes the protrusion 196 and it is lifted a predetermined height. After the base plate 200 having passed the protrusion 196, the base plate 200 is descended as much as the lifted height. Hence, the wheel 212 is guided by the guide groove 191 in a state of being inserted in the guide groove 191.
- the base plate 200 is lifted a predetermined height when passing the protrusion 196. At this time, the projection is projected vertically in a longitudinal direction. As a result, only after the projection having passed the projection 196 completely, the base plate 200 may be descended as much as the lifted height.
- the protrusion 196 may have a longitudinal section that is triangle or hemisphere shaped. Especially, an oblique of a portion directly in contact between the protrusion 196 and the wheel 212 when the base plate 200 is inserted is substantially duller than an oblique of the portion when the base plate 200 is taken out. More power is required when the base plate 200 is taken out from the mechanism compartment 200 than when the base plate 200 is inserted in the mechanism compartment 120, such that is prevented that the base plate 200 is separated by itself.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating key parts when the base plate is inserted in the guide member 190 secured to the mechanism compartment 120.
- a limiting member may be formed at the guide member or the cabinet having the opening formed therein to limit and determine the insertion depth of the base plate.
- the limiting member is secured to the guide member.
- the limiting member may be positioned at various portions only to limit the insertion depth of the base plate 200.
- the limiting member 192 is formed in the mechanism compartment 120 to prevent the base plate 200 from being inserted in the mechanism compartment 200 more than a predetermined depth. That is, the limiting member 192 is formed at a predetermined portion of the guide groove 191 and it limits the insertion depth of the base plate 200.
- the limiting member 192 may be provided at both side portion of the mechanism compartment 120 in plural.
- the limiting member 192 includes a bent portion 193 and an extended portion 194.
- the bent portion 193 is perpendicularly bent from the lower frame 180 and the extended portion 194 is extended from the bent portion 193.
- the limiting member 192 has an appearance approximately perpendicularly bent from the lower frame 180.
- the height and the insertion limit of the base plate 200 in the mechanism compartment 120 may be determined by the limiting member 192.
- the limiting member 192 is not limited to the appearance shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. If the insertion limit of the base plate 200 in the mechanism compartment 120 is determined or the height of the base plate 200 is fixed, the shape of the limiting member 192 may be changeable variously.
- An insertion groove 220 may be formed at a predetermined portion of the base plate 200 and the limiting member 192 is inserted in the insertion groove 220. Because of the insertion groove 220 in which the limiting member 192 is inserted, the position determination may be more securely done.
- the bent portion 193 is directly in contact with a vertical surface of the insertion groove 220 and the extended portion 194 is directly in contact with a horiz)ntal surface extended from the insertion groove 220.
- the connection between the limiting member 192 and the base plate 200 may be reinforced and the vibration of the base plate 200 may be prevented efficiently.
- the protrusion may be fiirther provided at the guide member 190 to prevent the separation of the base plate in a state of being stopped by the limiting member.
- the position of the base plate 200 is secured by the protrusion 196 to prevent the base plate 200 from moving in a hori-ontal direction, in other words, the oblique surface of the protrusion 196 is directly in contact with the wheel 212 installed at the lower surface of the base plate 200, only to prevent the minute motion of the base plate 200.
- the insertion direction of the base plate 200 is limited by the limiting member 192 and the discharge direction of the base plate 200 is limited by the protrusion 196.
- the projection may be fixedly secured with an end thereof being in contact with the protrusion 196. That is, in the state of being secured, the sliding motion of the base plate 200 may be prevented.
- the worker When assembling the clothes-treating apparatus, the worker assembles the ac- oommodating space 110, the mechanism compartment 120 and the partition partitioning off the accommodating space 110 and the mechanism compartment 120. Then, the worker mounts the components contained in the mechanism compartment 120 on the base plate 200. At this time, it is preferable that the air supply device and the moisture supply device are mounted on the base plate 200.
- Some of the wheels 212 installed at the predetermined portions of the base plate 200 may pass the protrusion 196 and the base plate 200 may be lifted to the predetermined height and descended as much as the lifted height.
- the predetermined portion of the wheel 212 is inserted in the guide groove 191.
- the projection may be fixedly secured with the end thereof being in contact with the protrusion 196. If the base plate 200 is inserted completely, the projection is in contact with the side surface, not the upper surface, of the protrusion 196 and the base plate 200 may be secured without its right-and-left direction sliding movement.
- the base plate 200 is separated for the maintenance of the components provided in the mechanism compartment 120, the above process may be performed.
- the base plate 200 is separated to repair or replace the components including the air supply device and the base plate 200 may be sliding into the mechanism compartment 120.
- a handle 230 may be farther provided for the convenience when the base plate 200 is taken out of the mechanism compartment 120. If the handle 230 is used, the base plate 200 may be separated from the mechanism compartment 120 smoothly.
- the steam spray part of the clothes-treating apparatus is installed in the mechanism compartment and as a result it is possible for a worker to assemble the steam spray part efficiently and then work performance may be enhanced.
