  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a household appliance capable of drying clothes in a gentle manner, while eliminating the above-cited drawbacks.
  • the household appliance in particular for washing and/or drying clothes, according to the present invention, comprises an outer casing 2 with a worktop 3 and a front panel 4 carrying operational input and setting controls 5, a drum rotatably supported inside the outer casing 2 and adapted to be loaded with the items to be washed and/or dried, an opening for loading and unloading the items into and from the drum, and a door 6 for closing said opening.
  • the household appliance comprises a drying surface 8 having a plurality of apertures 7, each one of which is fluidly connected with conveying means adapted to direct a flow of air through said apertures 7 for drying garments that are placed over the drying surface 8.
  • the worktop 3 comprises the drying surface 8, over which the garments to be dried are placed, and through the apertures or perforations 7 of which air is caused to flow so as to hit the garments placed thereon, thereby drying it.
  • These conveying means comprise at least an air passage 9 adapted to convey the air up to the worktop 3 underneath the drying surface 8, so that the air is then able to flow through the apertures 7 from the bottom upwards, as well as air circulating means 10 adapted to force a flow of air into and through the air passage 9.
  • heating means 11 are provided to heat up the air that flows into the air passage 9, so that it is appropriately heated-up air that eventually hits the garment to be dried.
  • the air passage 9 extends horizontally along the drying surface 8, so as to be able to supply air to each single aperture 7 at the same time.
  • An end portion 12 of the air passage 9 is blind, i.e. sealed, whereas the other end portion 13 thereof is open and fluidly communicating with the air circulating means 10 to receive the flow of drying air thereinto.
  • drying surface 8 and the air passage 9 can be formed in the worktop 3 integrally.
  • the air circulating means 10 may for instance be comprised of at least a blower arranged inside the outer casing 2 of the appliance and adapted to take in air from either the interior or the exterior of the household appliance to convey it into the air passage 9.
  • the blower is housed in a proper accommodation provided to this purpose inside the outer casing of the appliance.
  • the conveying means further comprise a communication duct 14 provided in the worktop and/or the outer casing to connect the air circulating means 10 with the air passage 9.
  • the heating means 11 may for instance be comprised of one or more electric heating elements arranged downstream from the air circulating means 10 and upstream of the air passage 9.
  • the heating means 11 are housed inside the communication duct 14, upstream of the open end portion 13 of the air passage 9.
  • the worktop 3 comprises an extendable/collapsible structure 15 adapted to define a drying cabinet for accommodating garments to be dried over said drying surface 8, said drying surface 8 forming the bottom of such drying cabinet, so as to blow air directly into the drying cabinet itself.
  • the extendable/collapsible structure 15 is comprised of a panel 16, which forms the ceiling, i.e. the top wall of the drying cabinet, and deformable side members 17 that form the side walls of the drying cabinet.
  • the deformable side members 17 connect the panel 16 with drying surface 8 so as to create the delimited inside compartment or cavity of the drying cabinet.
  • the drying surface 8 as integrally provided on the worktop 3 of the outer casing 2 of the household appliance, forms the bottom surface or floor of the drying cabinet.
  • the panel 16 When the structure 15 is not being used, the panel 16 is lowered to seat neatly close to the drying surface 8 of the worktop 3, while the deformable side members 17 are folded up between the panel 16 and the drying surface 8.
  • the panel 16 is then capable of being lifted from the drying surface 8, thereby causing also the deformable side members 17 to extend.
  • the panel 16 is adapted to reach - at a preestablished height - a limiting lift-up position at which the deformable side members 17 of the structure 15, owing to them being fully extended, become rigid, thereby providing a stable drying cabinet.
  • At least one of the deformable side members 17 is provided so as to enable the drying cabinet to be opened and closed and, therefore, the garments to be dried to be suitably arranged, e.g. hung, inside the same drying cabinet before closing it up for the drying process to take place thereinside.
  • deformable side member used to open/close the drying cabinet is made of a different material as compared with the other deformable side members, such as for example of plain cloth.
  • proper hangers with the clothes to be dried hung thereon may be hooked up to a plurality of receptacles provided at the panel 16 for engagement therewith.
  • the clothes to be dried may be laid flat upon proper rack-like or similar support members provided in the drying cabinet.
  • the panel 16 further defines a handgrip provision, by means of which the panel 16 can therefore be conveniently lifted.
  • the structure 15 is collapsible, i.e. can be caused to collapse by simply lowering the panel 16 onto the drying surface 8, so that the deformable side members 17 lose their rigidity and can be folded up into position between the panel 16 and the worktop of the household appliance.
  • the worktop 3 comprises a kind of collapsible clothes-horse 18 for the garments to be dried to be laid flat thereupon over the drying surface 8 at a certain distance from the latter.
  • clothes-horse 18 is comprised of a folding structure adapted to lay flat on the drying surface 8 when the clothes-horse 18 is not in use.
  • the clothes-horse 18 being described and discussed by way of example to illustrative purposes, comprises a pair of arcuate arms 19 that are rotatably associated to the worktop 3, in a lateral position thereupon, and a plurality of lines 20 having their ends linked with, i.e. engaging said arms 19.
  • the arms 19 are adapted to rotate from a first position, in which they are convergent and lying flat on the drying surface 8 along with the lines 20, to a second position, in which they are raised from the drying surface 8 and mutually divergent so as to stretch out and tighten the lines 20.
  • the arms 19 and the lines 20 lie completely flat on the drying surface 8, while protruding by just a few millimeters therefrom, so as to take up just a minimum of space.
  • the arms 19 and the lines 20 enable garments to be laid to dry at a short distance above the drying surface, while providing a greater surface area for placing large garments thereupon.
  • the drying surface 8 is slidable in an accommodation or housing 21 provided in the worktop 3 from a first position, in which the drying surface is contained, i.e. inserted within the accommodation 21 in the worktop 3, to a second position in which the drying surface 8 is extracted and extended horizontally out of the accommodation 21 in the worktop 3 for garments to be dried to be supported thereupon.
  • the drying surface 8 is in this case provided integrally on a drawer-like structure 22 adapted to slide within the accommodation 21 along appropriate runner means.
  • Such drawer-like structure 22 is internally hollow so as to integrally form the air passage 9 for conveying the flow of drying air under and along the drying surface 8
  • the drawer-like structure 22 In the first position thereof, the drawer-like structure 22 is fully inserted in the accommodation 21, so that it is fully placed inside the worktop, wherein solely a handgrip portion 23 provided on the front of the drawer-like structure 22 protrudes from the worktop 3 for enabling the same drawer-like structure 22 to be conveniently extracted when needed for use.
  • the drawer-like structure 22 is extracted, i.e. pulled out from the accommodation 21, so that the drying surface 8 comes to protrude horizontally from the worktop 3 on the front side thereof.
  • the garments to be dried are then laid upon the drying surface 8 and, upon switching on the air circulating means 10 and the heating means 11, hot air starts to flow through the apertures 7 in the drying surface 8 so as to hit the garments laid thereupon and dry them.
  • the accommodation 21 further defines a drying-medium conveying channel adapted to fluidly connect the air passage 9 of the drawer-like structure 22 with the air circulating means 10, when drawer-like structure 22 is extracted, i.e. pulled out from the accommodation 21, in said second position.
  • the worktop 3 may itself comprise a plurality of apertures 24 fluidly connected with the air circulating means 10 so as to define a second drying surface 25, so that both the slidable drying surface 8 of the drawer-like structure 22 and the drying surface 8 of the worktop can be used to dry either a plurality of garments at the same time or a single large-sized garment.
  • the worktop can however be provided in the form of a conventional worktop, without any aperture.
  • the drying surface 8 provided on the drawer-like structure 22 enables garments to be dried even when the surface of the worktop 3 is not directly accessible owing to encumbrances being present immediately above the same worktop 3.
  • the conveying means are provided outside the casing.
  • the air circulating means 10 and the communication duct 14 are associated to the upper backward portion of the casing in proximity to and below the worktop projecting from the casing.
  • drying arrangements may be provided on a washing machine, a tumble dryer or a so-called washer-dryer, wherein it will be readily appreciated that a perforated worktop as described above may even be applied to top-loading appliances.
  • a drying arrangement of the above described kind may be provided in the form of a self-standing, i.e. autonomous household appliance specially intended for drying delicate garments, which is designed to integrally comprise a perforated drying surface and air conveying means as described above.
  • the household appliance comprises control means to enable the air circulating means 10 and the heating means 11 to be switched on as required, as well as the different drying modes of the appliance to be properly selected.
  • control means to enable the air circulating means 10 and the heating means 11 to be switched on as required, as well as the different drying modes of the appliance to be properly selected.
  • different drying temperatures and different drying times may be required to most properly handle the various garments to be dried, depending, among other things, on the textile fibres which each single garment is made of.
  • Such control means are arranged on the front panel 4 of the washing and/or drying machine or on a specific console provided on the self-standing appliance.
  • control means are directly integrated on the drying surface 8 of the washing and/or drying machine or on the worktop of the self-standing appliance.
