Patent number: 11976405Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus includes a main body provided with a front cover having a laundry inlet port and a door rotatably installed on the front cover to open and close the laundry inlet port. The door includes an outer frame disposed toward an outside of the main body, a front glass provided on a front surface of the outer frame, an inner frame disposed toward an inside of the main body and coupled to a rear surface of the outer frame, and a handle that is recessed radially inward from side surfaces of the outer frame and the inner frame to form a space for putting fingers. As the front cover has a curved shape, an installation area of the handle may be efficiently acquired even when an installation space of the handle is small.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Hosung Jang, Yohwan Kang, Donghwa Lee
