Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a laundry processing apparatus (100), including: a housing (200) in which an opening (215) for taking laundry in and out is formed; a door (300, 300A) configured to rotate between a closing position where the door (300, 300A) closes the opening (215) and an opening position where the door (300, 300A) opens the opening (215); and a handle (700) used for rotating the door (300, 300A) between the closing position and the opening position, wherein the handle (700) includes a first piece (710) pivotally supported by the door (300, 300A) and a second piece (720) protruding from the first piece (710) and exposed outside the housing (200) when the door (300, 300A) is at the closing position, the door (300, 300A) includes a restricting surface (329) facing the housing (200) when the door (300, 300A) is at the closing position and restricting an angular motion of the first piece (710), and the first piece (710) is positioned between the housing (200) and the restricting surface (329) when the door (300, 300A) is at the closing position, and the first piece (710) abuts the restricting surface (329) when the door (300, 300A) is rotated from the closing position to the opening position to restrict an angular motion of the handle (700).
