Presently describe unblock and the lock operation of the locking member of filter 24 (correspondingly 24') for opening and close filter。Being described below the locking member of the first and second embodiments, locking member is respectively provided with breech lock or hook portion 70,70' and stopper slot or recess 72,72'。However, it is possible to provide other embodiment of locking member。

Fig. 6 and more detailed Fig. 7 illustrates the first embodiment of hook portion 70, and hook portion 70 is arranged on the upside of the first surface part 26a of the first shell 32。One end of hook portion 70 is connected to first surface part 26a and stretches out from first surface part 26a (laterally)。Additionally, locking member includes forming the stopper slot at the second surface part 26b place of the second shell 34 or recess 72, as such as seen in figure 3。The separate end of hook portion 70 or freely extending end portion have domatic surface 70a, domatic surface 70a in the closing motion of filter with acting on the slidingsurface receiving stopper slot 72。The proximal end of hook portion 70 includes lock part 70b, lock part 70b immediately following domatic end sections 70a and the dropping place portion 74 (Fig. 3) mating or be suitable to receive or engage stopper slot 72 with the dropping place portion 74 of stopper slot 72。In closing motion, dropping place portion 74 and the upper contact of domatic end sections 70a and depress elastic force or elastic hook portion 70, until dropping place portion 74 slides onto domatic end sections 70a and arrives lock part 70b。When dropping place portion 74 is received within the 70b of lock part, mechanical stop or mechanical engagement are returned and are therefore provided for dropping place portion 74 in elastic hook portion 70 rotation, and therefore provide the locking opening motion between antagonism the first shell 32 and the second shell 34。

Under the closure state of filter, i.e. when the first shell 32 and the second shell 34 are against each other, first surface part 26a and second surface part 26b is adjacent, in order to form closing line 46。For unlocking motion, user can be pressed against domatic end sections 70a with finger tip, thus domatic end sections 70a is used as the exercisable actuating element of user。The pressure of the upside of domatic end sections 70a it is applied to by user, hook portion 70 is bent downwardly and lock part 70b discharges dropping place portion 74 so that the second shell 34 can move away from the first shell 32 (in the present embodiment by the swinging motion around hinge 56)。

The Machine Design of the locking member 70,72 of the filter 24 of the first embodiment is arranged to convenient by two opened filters of hands of user, and some hinders user only to unlock locking member with a hands。Filter 24 ' and its locking member 70', 72' of second embodiment are described below, and the locking member of present embodiment is designed to facilitate a hands to unlock so that user is without the need for using the next opened filter 24' of two handss。For the first embodiment, Fig. 7 b is the copy pattern of Fig. 7, is wherein illustrated moment of torsion effect by curved arrow a, b and c, and arrow a, b and c represent the power applied when user attempts only to use a hands unblock locking member。In this case, filter 24 rests upon portion 22 from its filter and removes and hold by freely being taken by user hands with the crossbeam 50 of finger grip handle 30。Handle 30 is in its operating position II, i.e. cam 60 is against the sidewall 64 of recess 28。Now when user applies brake function or releasing force with the same hand keeping handle on the top side of the domatic part 70a of hook portion 70, the axis 58 around handle produces moment of torsion a (as illustrated in the counterclockwise direction)。In the clockwise direction, moment of torsion b acts on crossbeam 50 relative to axis 58。As in the present embodiment, handle 30 can rotate freely from operating position II towards rest position I, two the lever responses about axis 58 formed between the inclined surface 70a of crossbeam 50 and hook portion 70 act on the power on domatic part 70a and apply rotation momentum so that the first shell 32 and the second shell 34 stand such as the momentum about axis 58 corresponding to acting on moment of torsion momentum (torquemomentum) a in hook portion 70 shown in curved arrow c。Describe in another way: by this design of lever and moment of torsion momentum, handle 30 can rotate towards rest position around axis 58, and the actuating power applied by user more likely causes the rotation relative to handle 30 of the first shell 32 and the second shell 34, rather than cause hook portion 70 relative to the first shell 32 elastic deflection this be necessary for discharging dropping place portion 74 from stopper slot 72。Therefore in the present embodiment, prevent the accidental unlocking of filter 74 more likely and open。Thus, the fine hair collected in filter will not unintentionally fall out。

Generally speaking, the first embodiment provides a substantial advantage in that:

-handle being easy to user manual operation filter is provided,

-provide handle the rest position towards handle move from actuation function,

-stop user one-handed performance to be opened accidentally。

In embodiments, it is provided that the single advantage in these advantages, or each advantage in these advantages can be combined with an advantage in further advantage or more advantage。

Figure 11 to Figure 18 illustrates that the filter of drumdrier 2 to be inserted in rests upon the second embodiment 24' of the lint filter in portion 22。Unless otherwise stated, it is completely suitable for the second embodiment above in conjunction with the content described by the first embodiment and claim。Element and the element hereinafter referred to the accompanying drawing labelling of apostrophe that the element with same reference numerals or the accompanying drawing labelling above not having apostrophe refer to realize identical function and arrange unless be separately described herein below in an identical manner。Following is intended to describe difference。

Figure 12 to Figure 14, Figure 17 and Figure 18 illustrate the lint filter 24' not having filter webs 36,38,40 (as mentioned above), and Figure 15 illustrates the filter webs in the bearing wall and frame structure being arranged on the first shell 32' and the second shell 34'。Figure 12, Figure 13, Figure 17 and Figure 18 illustrate the filter 24' being in closure state, and wherein, Figure 12 and Figure 13 illustrates front perspective view, and Figure 17 and Figure 18 illustrates rear perspective view。In Figure 12, Figure 14, Figure 15 and Figure 17, handle 30' is in its operating position II, and in Figure 13 and Figure 18, handle 30' is in and packs up rest position I, and wherein, handle is received within recess 28'。

In the first embodiment, if handle is in operating position II (such as, Figure 12), the cam 60 (Figure 13) at side leg 52 place of handle 30' it is arranged in against the sidewall (compared with Fig. 7 of the first embodiment) of recess 28'。Handle 30 ' does not have base portion crossbeam 54, and on the contrary, hinge 56' is arranged in the lower end of side leg 52'。And, in this embodiment, the top surface 26' exposed is divided into first surface part 26a' and second surface part 26b' by closing line 46。Although recess 28 is formed entirely in the first shell 32 in the first embodiment, but the part around hinge 56' of recess 28' is only had to be formed in the first surface part 26a' of the first shell 32' in this second embodiment。Most of parts of recess 28' are formed and see in the bottom view of the recess 28' in the second surface part 26b' of the second shell 34' in the top perspective view in Figure 12 and in Figure 14。

As seen from Figure 14, the near-end being mechanically fixed line and hook or breech lock 70' of hook 70' is arranged close to the rotation axis 58 of handle 30' around hinge 56', or the sloping portion 70a' that the fixed base being positioned at the first shell 32' place of hook 70' is relative to hook 70' is displaced somewhat to after being positioned at axis 58。Referring now to Figure 16, the above-mentioned one-handed performance for opening locking member is described。

Figure 16 illustrates the base plane 62 of recess 28', handle rotation axis 58 in a simplified manner, and what handle rotation axis 58 was hook 70' at the first shell 32 ' place simultaneously connects base portion or close to the hook 70' connection base portion at the first shell 32' place。Make the cam 60 that handle 50 stops the rotation represent with arrow at the operating position place of handle, and prevent the tilt angle alpha of handlebar stem (the side leg 52' of handle) from becoming less than relative to the α shown in vertical line 66。The actuating point at the sloping portion 70a' place being positioned at hook 70' represents with a 70a', and represents another lever of the fixed base/rotation axis 58 being positioned at the first shell 32' place about hook 70'。When sloping portion 70a' is applied moment of torsion momentum i by user, due to the stop momentum that cam 60 applies, open angle β (open angle β is the maximum angle between rest position and the operating position of handle 50) will not increase further。Thus, what 70a' was applied by user opens momentum i, keeps crossbeam 50 with other finger simultaneously, causes the bending moment of torsion to hook 70 '。Thus, the downward elastic deflection of hook 70', and lock part 70b ' discharges the dropping place portion 74' of stopper slot or recess 72'。Thus, the locking between the first shell 32' and the second shell 34' is unlocked, and the second shell 34' can open relative to the first shell 32' rotation still kept at handle 50 by user。So, the handle of the second embodiment and the design of hook 70' and positioned opposite being easy to only just can opened filter 24' with a hands。
