Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved kind of clothes drying machine, preferably of the type intended for use in households, provided with more effective means to disperse solid or liquid substances in the items being dried in the drum of the machine.
  • Such embodiments are generally very effective in enabling the required purpose to be reached. However, they also involve rather complicated constructions, owing to the presence of some operating parts, such as pumps, atomizers, ultrasonic generators, vaporizers, and the like, so that they ultimately turn out as being excessively expensive in view of adding a function that is not really essential one in the use of a clothes drying machine.
  • a rotating drum 1 holding the clothes to be dried, to which a conduit (not shown) is associated for the circulation of the drying air.
  • the substances due to be diffused in the drum during a drying process are filled in advance in appropriate containing means that are provided inside said ribs, appropriate passages being also provided to enable said substances to be diffused from said containing means into the internal volume of the drum during the drying and/or treatment process.
  • the rib 2 is internally provided with an inner reservoir 3, to which access can be gained from the outside through a filling orifice 4 closable by means of such largely known means 5 as a screw cap, a snap-on cap or the like.
  • the above-mentioned reservoir is represented in the form of an elongated prismatic cavity that is entirely contained in the rib; in order to enable the substances contained in said reservoir to be transferred therefrom for diffusion outside the walls of the same rib, i.e. in the interior of the drum, the rib is provided with appropriate calibrated perforations 16 that are so arranged and sized as to ensure that both said filling orifice 4 and said perforations 16 are immediately debouching into the interior of the drum.
  • said internal reservoir 3 is provided as an integral construction with the respective rib.
  • the liquid substance so filled in the proper reservoir is able to be automatically ejected therefrom in a gradual manner for diffusion among the clothes being dried in the drum, since the drum is kept rotating continuously during the same process and, as a result, each time that the rib reaches up to its upper position, the same rib turns practically upside down, thereby enabling a small amount of the liquid substance contained therein to be immediately and spontaneously ejected therefrom, so as to achieve the desired effect.
  • a further advantage of the present invention can at this point be equally appreciated; in the case that just plain water is in fact filled in said reservoirs in the ribs of the drum, as soon as this water is ejected from the reservoir and enters the interior of the drum, it is practically caused to immediately evaporate by the high temperature of the drying air circulating through the drum, thereby bringing about the same conditions as described in the afore-cited European patent application No. 04 100490.4, or in EP 1 431 443, in which the substances to be added into the drum are either atomized (aerosol) or injected by means of appropriate pumping means and associated injectors. It can however be readily appreciated that this same effect is reached in a by far simpler and low-cost manner with an arrangement according to the present invention.
  • the substances to be desirably added into the drum during drying may also be in a gaseous state, as this may for example be the case when certain kinds of scents, moth-killing preparations or the like are used, the use of a reservoir of the kind described above would of course turn out as being quite unpractical as far as both filling and mode of operation are concerned.
  • the rib 2 is made up by two distinct and complementary portions.
  • the first portion 22 consists of a rib of a usual, known type in the shape of a prism, but in which there is provided in a removable manner a separate second portion 23 lying flush with a contiguous length of the inner edge 24 that faces the axis of the drum.
  • This second portion 23 is made in such a manner as to be selectively removable from said first portion 22 and, conversely, capable of being fitted in an appropriate and corresponding accommodation 28 provided in said first portion 22. In this way, when the second portion is fitted in the first portion of the rib, the latter takes the usual form of a complete rib as known from the prior art.
  • the rib itself takes again the form and shape of a fully conventional clothes lifting rib, as shown in Figure 4, and the drying and/or treatment cycle can be started.
  • said second portion 23 shall be obviously provided with proper apertures 26 enabling the interior of the receptacle accommodating the plate 25 to communicate with the interior of the drum, so as to ensure that the scents, fragrances or other exhalations issuing spontaneously from said plate 25 are able to freely and immediately diffuse into the drum so as to impregnate the clothes contained in said drum for drying.
  • the substances, which said plate 25 is imbued with, tend therefore to sublimate and/or evaporate, due also to the effect of the high temperature prevailing inside the drum, thereby creating an atmosphere within the drum that ultimately affects the clothes being dried, thereby impregnating them.
