Abstract: Garment treatment apparatus include one or more cabinets in which garments carried by hangers are treated by, for example, spraying and heating. However, to restrict loss of heat or processing medium from the cabinet the entrance and exit from the cabinet should be as narrow but at the same time the cabinet should not be too long. Therefore, the garment supports are passed into and out from the cabinet with the support positioned so that a garment or the support has its narrowest dimension transverse with the direction of entry and exit. Thus if the garment is a jacket, one shoulder leads into the cabinet and the other trails. Once in the cabinet, however, means are provided to change the direction of movement of the support, e.g. through 90.degree., without rotating the support so that a garment on the support may be moved through at least part of the cabinet with its narrowest dimension changed with the longitudinal axis of that part of the cabinet.
