Abstract
A clothes treatment apparatus includes a cabinet that defines a treatment chamber, equipment configured to release at least one of hot air, steam, or cooled air into the treatment chamber, and a door that opens and closes the treatment chamber. A wrinkle removal module is pivotally mounted on a backside of the door. The wrinkle removal module applies a tension force to a first article of clothing in a first configuration and a compression force to a second article of clothing in a second configuration. The wrinkle removal module includes a base plate supported in a fixed position on the door, and a bi-fold panel assembly pivotally supported on the door. Panels of the bi-fold panel assembly include clips for clamping on portions of the first article of clothing to apply the tension force to the first article of clothing when the panels are pivoted relative to each other.
