Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a laundry dryer.
  • US 3,738,129 discloses a drum for washing and dry-cleaning machines comprising a displaceable textile web partition in form of a strip of fabric, netting or the like loosely suspended in the drum, having a length greater than the diameter of the drum and having its opposite end portions secured to the drum at traversely spaced locations at opposite sides of the axis of rotation of the drum in order to partition the interior of the drum into a plurality of compartments each accessible via the entire cross-sectional area of the drum access opening.
  • 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.
  • the laundry dryer 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.
  • the lifter 2 is adapted to house a winding mechanism 3 for a pliable member 4 to be wound and unwound, the pliable member 4 is slidably changeable from a first position, in which the pliable member 4 is contained inside the lifter 2, to a second position, in which the pliable member 4 extends into the drum 1 and is adapted to be associated with the drum 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.
  • the laundry dryer comprises a drum 1 that can be rotated around a longitudinal axis and within which at least one lifter 2 is provided for moving the laundry as the drum rotates.
  • the lifter 2 extends longitudinally on the internal surface of the drum 1, substantially along the entire longitudinal dimension of the drum 1.
  • the lifter 2 can be fastened to the drum 1 by means of screws, rivet or other equivalent clamping means, but in a further embodiment the lifter 2 can be formed integrally in one piece with the drum 1.
  • the lifter 2 comprises a V shaped shell with the apex facing onto the inner portion of the drum 1.
  • the lifter 2 is adapted to form with the drum 1 a cavity 5 defining a housing for the winding mechanism 3.
  • the winding mechanism 3 comprises a roll support or reel 6 arranged in the cavity 5 for the pliable member 4 to be wound and unwound.
  • a first end edge of the pliable member 4 is associated with the reel 6, and the latter is biased by appropriate spring means so as to keep the pliable member 4 in the first position, in which the pliable member 4 is completely wound around the reel 6 inside the V shaped shell of the lifter 2 and so as to automatically rewind the pliable member 4 when the latter is unwound and extends into the drum 1 in the second position.
  • the V shaped shell of the lifter 2 comprises a longitudinal slot 7, which the pliable 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 a clamping body 8 adapted to be arranged in correspondence to a first seat 9, which is provided on the V shaped shell of the lifter 2, when the pliable member 4 is wound around the reel 6 and contained inside the lifter 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 the clamping body 8, which can be easily handled by a user.
  • the clamping body 8 is adapted to be removably fastened directly to the internal surface of the drum 1. Projections (not shown) can be provided on the clamping body 8 in order to engage the perforations of the drum 1. Clearly other type of fastening can be envisaged.
  • the clamping body 8 is adapted to be removably fastened to a further lifter 2, according to the present invention, associated with the drum 1.
  • a further lifter 2 is provided externally with a second seat 10 adapted to receive and locked in position the clamping body 8, as shown in figure 2 and 3.
  • the pliable member 4, fastened to the drum 1 or to the lifter 2, is adapted to divide the drum 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 the drum 1.
  • the clamping body 8 is adapted to be disengaged from the second seat 10 of the lifter 2, and the pliable member 4 is adapted to be automatically rewound around the reel 6, inside the V shaped shell of the lifter 2, by means of the winding mechanism 3.
  • the drum 1 comprises three lifter 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 the drum 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.
  • the laundry dryer 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.
  • the apparatus 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.
