Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A door of a clothing treatment apparatus, the door comprising:
 a door frame of a loop shape; and   a front glass arranged on a front surface of the door frame,   wherein the door frame comprises:
 a base frame of a loop shape, 
 an inner frame that is arranged between the base frame and the front glass, and provides an adhesive surface adhered to a rear surface of the front glass, 
 an adhesive layer arranged between the adhesive surface of the inner frame and the front glass, and 
 an outer frame that is arranged on an edge of an outer end portion of the inner frame and provides a non-adhesive surface facing the rear surface of the front glass, and 
   wherein the adhesive surface of the inner frame and the non-adhesive surface of the outer frame have different adhesive characteristics with respect to the adhesive layer.   
     
     
         2 . The door of  claim 1 , wherein the non-adhesive surface comprises metal. 
     
     
         3 . The door of  claim 2 , wherein the non-adhesive surface comprises chromium. 
     
     
         4 . The door of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive surface comprises a non-plated surface. 
     
     
         5 . The door of  claim 1 , wherein the inner frame and the outer frame are coupled to the base frame via at least one of a hook coupling manner or a screw coupling manner. 
     
     
         6 . The door of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is arranged on a boundary region of the inner frame. 
     
     
         7 . The door of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is a one-part adhesive layer not comprising a hardener. 
     
     
         8 . The door of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive surface of the inner frame includes:
 a first surface arranged with a first distance from the front glass; and   a second surface arranged with a second distance that is greater than the first distance from the front glass.   
     
     
         9 . The door of  claim 8 , wherein the second surface is arranged inside the first surface in a radial direction. 
     
     
         10 . The door of  claim 9 ,
 wherein the outer frame includes:
 a first region including the non-adhesive surface and coming into contact with the inner frame, and 
 a second region covering a boundary of the front glass and forming a side exterior of the door of the clothing treatment apparatus, and 
   wherein a distance between the first region and the front glass is greater than the first distance.   
     
     
         11 . The door of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a door glass connected to an inner end portion of the inner frame; and   a convex shape toward an inside of the clothing treatment apparatus.   
     
     
         12 . A clothing treatment apparatus comprising:
 a cabinet;   a drum rotatably arranged in the cabinet;   a motor arranged to provide a rotating force for rotating the drum; and   a door that is rotatably installed on the cabinet so that laundry is put in or withdrawn therethrough,   wherein the door comprises:
 a door frame of a loop shape, and 
 a front glass arranged on a front surface of the door frame, 
   wherein the door frame comprises:
 a base frame of a loop shape, 
 an inner frame that is arranged between the base frame and the front glass, and provides an adhesive surface adhered to a rear surface of the front glass, 
 an adhesive layer arranged between the adhesive surface of the inner frame and the front glass, and 
 an outer frame which is arranged on an edge of an outer end portion of the inner frame and provides a non-adhesive surface facing the rear surface of the front glass, and 
   wherein the adhesive surface of the inner frame and the non-adhesive surface of the outer frame have different adhesive characteristics with respect to the adhesive layer.   
     
     
         13 . The clothing treatment apparatus of  claim 12 ,
 wherein the non-adhesive surface comprises chromium, and   wherein the adhesive surface comprises a non-plated surface.
