Abstract

Clothes drier comprising, within an outer casing (1), a rotating drum (6) adapted to be loaded with the clothes and any other possible items to be dried, means (11) for heating, means (10, 12) for forcing the air to flow through the drum (6), means (15) for exhausting the air from the drier upon said air having become saturated, inside the drum (6), with the moisture contained in the clothes being dried.
The present invention calls for filtering means (22), adapted to retain impurities carried by or anyway contained in the air taken in from the environment of the room where the appliance is installed, to be inserted along the flow-path (10) comprised between the air intake zone (21) of the appliance and the zone (13) at which said air enters the drum (6).
