Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a laundry dryer.
- It may be necessary to keep different type of articles to be dried effectively separated in the drum and to confine such articles in reduced spaces, with respect to the volume of the drum, in order to minimize mechanical stress caused by the movement of the drum. Further, there is the need for limiting the movement of articles during the drying operation and for preventing articles to be dried to come into contact with the drum.
- This may be the case, for example, with knitwear and woollens, which would shrink if, they exceedingly moved during drying. The same may apply to shoes or other items for drying that could be damaged by the movement in the drum.
- Also well known are the drawbacks of using rotary laundry dryers to dry footwear, i.e. the loud thumping and banging noises normally generated by placing relatively hard footwear in the rotating drum of a laundry dryer.
- The aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a laundry dryer having a drum in which it is possible to effectively keep separated, inside the drum, different kinds of articles to be dried.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a laundry dryer having a drum in which it is possible to confine delicate articles into separate compartments of reduce volumes, with respect to the volume of the drum, in order to limit the movement of the articles and to reliably avoid damages to such articles during the drying operation.
- It is a further object to provide a laundry drier having a drum in which it is possible, in the same load, to keep shoes separate from any more delicate articles of clothing therefore preventing their entanglement and damage.
- It is a further object to provide a laundry drier having a drum in which it is possible to encapsulate shoes to allow them to be effectively dried reducing loud thumping and banging noises.
- It is a further object to provide a laundry drier having a drum in which it is possible to prevent articles to be dried to come into contact with the drum during the drying operation.
- According to the present invention, this aim is reached in a laundry dryer having the characteristics as recited and defined in the appended claims.
- The invention, illustrated and described herein, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown because various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
- Anyway, features and advantages of the present invention may be more readily understood from the description that is given below by way of a nonlimiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a drum of a laundry drier, according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 is a front elevational view of a drum of a laundry drier, according to a further embodiment of the present invention;
- Figure 3 is an enlarged detailed view of a lifter, according to the present invention;
- Figure 4 is an enlarged detailed view of a lifter, according to the present invention.
- With reference to the figures, the laundry dryer, according to the present invention, comprises a rotatable drum, generally designated by the reference numerical 1, with at least a
lifter 2 for moving the laundry as the drum rotates. Thelifter 2 is adapted to house awinding mechanism 3 for apliable member 4 to be wound and unwound, thepliable member 4 is slidably changeable from a first position, in which thepliable member 4 is contained inside thelifter 2, to a second position, in which thepliable member 4 extends into thedrum 1 and is adapted to be associated with thedrum 1 so as to divide the latter into separate compartments. - The laundry dryer is provided, as known in the art, with a fan, a heater, and an air circuit, in order to direct a heated airflow into the drum, through perforations thereof. The airflow, flowing into the drum, comes into contact there with the laundry that is to be dried, so that moisture in the laundry is absorbed by the air by cooling and it is condensed and discharged. The air circuit can form a closed loop with the drum or an air circuit opened to the atmosphere.
- Referring now to the figures of the drawings in detail, the laundry dryer comprises a
drum 1 that can be rotated around a longitudinal axis and within which at least onelifter 2 is provided for moving the laundry as the drum rotates. Thelifter 2 extends longitudinally on the internal surface of thedrum 1, substantially along the entire longitudinal dimension of thedrum 1. Thelifter 2 can be fastened to thedrum 1 by means of screws, rivet or other equivalent clamping means, but in a further embodiment thelifter 2 can be formed integrally in one piece with thedrum 1. - The
lifter 2 comprises a V shaped shell with the apex facing onto the inner portion of thedrum 1. Thelifter 2 is adapted to form with the drum 1 acavity 5 defining a housing for thewinding mechanism 3. Thewinding mechanism 3 comprises a roll support orreel 6 arranged in thecavity 5 for thepliable member 4 to be wound and unwound. A first end edge of thepliable member 4 is associated with thereel 6, and the latter is biased by appropriate spring means so as to keep thepliable member 4 in the first position, in which thepliable member 4 is completely wound around thereel 6 inside the V shaped shell of thelifter 2 and so as to automatically rewind thepliable member 4 when the latter is unwound and extends into thedrum 1 in the second position. - The V shaped shell of the
lifter 2 comprises alongitudinal slot 7, which thepliable member 4 is adapted to pass through for being slidably changeable between the first and the second position. - A free end edge of the
pliable member 4 is associated with aclamping body 8 adapted to be arranged in correspondence to afirst seat 9, which is provided on the V shaped shell of thelifter 2, when thepliable member 4 is wound around thereel 6 and contained inside thelifter 2, in the first position. - The
pliable member 4 is adapted to be unwound from the first position to the second position by means of theclamping body 8, which can be easily handled by a user. - In a first embodiment of the present invention, the
clamping body 8 is adapted to be removably fastened directly to the internal surface of thedrum 1. Projections (not shown) can be provided on the clampingbody 8 in order to engage the perforations of thedrum 1. Clearly other type of fastening can be envisaged. - In a second preferred embodiment, the
clamping body 8 is adapted to be removably fastened to afurther lifter 2, according to the present invention, associated with thedrum 1. Advantageously the V shaped shell of thelifter 2 is provided externally with asecond seat 10 adapted to receive and locked in position theclamping body 8, as shown in figure 2 and 3. - The
pliable member 4, fastened to thedrum 1 or to thelifter 2, is adapted to divide thedrum 1 into separate compartments so as to keep articles to be dried effectively separated, and to confine articles in reduced spaces, thereby minimizing mechanical stress caused by the movement of thedrum 1. - When there is no longer need for separate compartments, the
clamping body 8 is adapted to be disengaged from thesecond seat 10 of thelifter 2, and thepliable member 4 is adapted to be automatically rewound around thereel 6, inside the V shaped shell of thelifter 2, by means of thewinding mechanism 3. - In a most preferred embodiment, the
drum 1 comprises threelifter 2, according to the present invention, in order to define a triangular enclosed chamber adapted to encapsulate items to be dried and to prevent the latter to come into contact with thedrum 1, as shown in figure 2. - The
pliable member 4 is preferably made of an air-permeable material, such as in the case of a web, net, or a mesh or it can be made of plastic material provided with openings. - Conclusively, it can therefore be stated that the laundry dryer, according to the present invention, allows to effectively keep separated, inside the drum, different kinds of articles to be dried, and to confine delicate articles into separate compartments of reduced volume so as to limit the movement of the articles and to reliably avoid damage to such articles during the drying operation.
- Further, it can be stated that the apparatus, according to the present invention, is simple in construction, light in weight, occupies minimum of the useful space of the dryer, is easy to use, simple to manufacture, reliable in operation, does not damage the drum, and allows efficient utilization of the drying drum's lifter as additional supports for objects being dried.
- Although the above description and drawings contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention.
