  • the closure member can be a flap through the air flow or the Air pressure is opened.
  • provision can be made be that the flap is opened when a first pressure threshold is exceeded and is only closed when the pressure drops below a second pressure threshold is below the first pressure threshold, or that the flap when the Blower is closed.
  • the heat store can be arranged on the wall of the flow channel, to reduce the flow resistance of the heat accumulator.
  • the Have heat storage fins that give off heat to the air in the Protrude into the flow channel. If the heat accumulator on the wall of the Flow channel is arranged, the air can still be outside first on Heat storage passed, deflected and then passed inside so that the heat emitted from the outside of the heat accumulator comes from the air is recorded and thus used.
  • the heat accumulator needs in this way no costly thermal insulation, since the heat given off outside is not can escape unused.
  • heat storage In addition to the heat storage can be connected in series or Additional heating elements can be provided in parallel for additional Heating or post-heating of the hot air flow within one or more e.g. mutually parallel flow channels.
  • the one or more of the aforementioned Flow channels on the pressure side to one - the hollow shape of the one to be treated Replicated laundry - flexible inflatable bag connected to the operation of the Blower is inflated by the air flow and the laundry put on it tense and indirect or direct, i.e. by heat conduction or Heat flow through perforations is the thermal energy of the heated air flow gives to the laundry.
  • the heater is connected to a steam generator so that e.g. dry laundry is moistened in a preceding step.
  • the device it can be provided that it is monitored whether there is no operating action for a predetermined time is made. In such a case, an acoustic and / or optical signal and / or the heating device or the entire Device are switched off. This way it becomes an unnecessarily high one Avoided energy consumption if, for example, the operator forgot has to switch off the device, or take a longer break and the Heat storage is kept unnecessarily long at a high temperature level.

  • the device for drying and shown schematically in Figures 1-3 Smoothing essentially consists of a carrying and aligning device 1 for example a shirt 2 and from a heater 3, which Facilities in a manner not shown on one on the floor erect, vertical supports are arranged.
  • the carrying and aligning device 1 consists, for. B. from one of the basic form of to treat shirt 2 corresponding, known inflatable bag 4, the - as shown in the detail in FIG. 1 - has a perforation 5.
  • the shirt 2 is put on and after inflating the flexible and perforated inflatable bag 4 in a position suitable for treatment.
  • Adjustable on the carrier is attached a vertical, along the button bar of the shirt extending pressure bar 8, which during the laundry treatment against the button button is pressed.
  • a clamping device 9 shown only symbolically, with which the lower Shirt hem can be clamped tight.
  • the generally designated 3 Heating device is in fluid communication with a blower 10, on the pressure side of which a vertical flow channel 11 is connected. Blower 10 and flow channel 11 are surrounded by a housing 12, the may have noise-reducing agents. As illustrated in Fig. 2, this relates Blower 10 on the suction side, the outside air in the direction of the arrow by appropriate Ventilation openings in the upper part of the housing 12, which are then through a Air supply channel 13 reaches the suction side of the blower 10. By doing Flow channel 11 is arranged on the pressure side of the blower 10 only symbolically represented heat storage 14 and a downstream separate heating element 15.
  • the upper end of the heating device 3 forms a flap-like closure member 16 which e.g. about an axis 17 in the dashed line Position is foldable. It is also preferably located below the Heat storage 14 such or similar closure member.
  • This Closure member 16 closes z. B. due to its gravity or spring-loaded automatically when the fan 10 is switched off and opens again automatically when the blower 10 is switched on as a result of the emerging Overpressure in the heating chamber below the closure member 16. From Fig. 3 is to recognize that in the flow channel 11 noise insulation means 18 for Reduction of fan and flow noise while the Flow channel 11 forming wall surfaces 19 with means for heat but also Noise insulation are equipped.
  • the air flow according to arrow 20 arrives according to Fig. 1 in the sleeve sections of the inflatable bag 4 and in the area of Collar holder 6, while the channel sections 22a, b directly into the Open the collar holding device 6, as shown by arrows.
  • the heat accumulator is self-heated, i.e. H. he owns as an integral Part of a heating element, not shown, in the form of a tubular heater, a vapor-deposited or screen-printed resistance element or the like (Fig. 7).
  • the heat accumulator itself can be known per se Be designed such. B. consist of aluminum or ceramic.
  • two heat stores 14 are in relation to one another connected in parallel and are located in two storage chambers 23 within the Flow channel 11, the flow direction indicated by arrows on both sides can be closed by closure members 16 during the heating phase and for Giving up the heat energy to be opened, e.g. B. by the fan 10 outgoing air flow itself or to others, e.g. electromagnetic Way by means of a control device or program control device, not shown.
  • an electric heating element 15 to which no heat storage device is assigned is.
  • the storage chambers 23 are at least essentially bordered by plate-like or mat-like and / or thermal insulation means 18.
  • time-controlled closure members 16 can be from one predetermined time, e.g. after an initial drying process treated laundry until a certain residual moisture (ironing moisture) is reached by means of switched on fan 10 and switched on heating element 15 Opening the closure members 16 an additional thermal energy to the air flow within the flow channel 11 and thus a higher air temperature are fed to carry out the actual smoothing process.
  • a heat accumulator 10 is in turn a storage chamber 23 arranged upwards by a closure member 16th can be closed and opened.
  • a flow channel 24 runs parallel to this in which a heating element 15 is arranged.
