Description

  • The present invention relates to a laundry dryer comprising a carrier wherein items to be washed are placed.
  • In laundry dryers, delicate items are damaged during the rotation of the drum in the drying process and items such as shoes may damage the laundry dryer during the drying process. For this purpose, carriers that can be mounted to/dismounted from inside the laundry dryer are known in the state of the art. However, in the state of the art while these carriers are mounted to the frame, the access of the user into the drum, especially under the carrier becomes difficult.
  • In the state of the art European Patent Application No. EP1690973 and Japanese Patent Application No. JP9220399 , a carrier is disclosed, that can be detachably mounted to the frame in the laundry dryers.
  • In the state of the art United States Patent Application No. US2007119071 , a carrier is disclosed, that can be detachably mounted to the lower portion of the frame in the laundry dryers. In the document, it is explained that in order to mount the carrier, first the filter has to be dismounted. In the state of the art German patent application No. 101 03 986 A1 , a drying rack that can be fixed in the drum of a laundry dryer is disclosed.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry dryer comprising a carrier that provides ease of utilization.
  • The laundry dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof comprises a drum, a frame having a loading port, a connection member mounted onto the frame and a carrier that does not rotate together with the drum, having a body wherein items produced from materials such as satin, silk, etc. that are desired not to be damaged during the rotation of the drum.
  • In the laundry dryer of the present invention, the connection member is positioned on the frame at the level of the upper half of the drum. When desired to be used, the carrier is hung over the connection member. The connection member is positioned above the rotational axis of the drum. When delicate clothes or shoes are not desired to be dried, the carrier is dismounted from the connection member and taken out of the laundry dryer. Thus, more items are provided to be dried.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, when the carrier is hung over the connection member, the user may reach the base of the drum.
  • According to the present invention, the connection member is mounted to the frame so as to allow the carrier hung over the connection member to sway back and forth when the carrier is pushed. Thus, the user reaches the portion of the drum remaining under the carrier body by moving the carrier.
  • According to the present invention, the carrier can be in two positions being hung over the connection member. In the first position, the base of the carrier touches the loading port during the rotation of the drum. In the second position, the user pushes the carrier, providing the carrier to move into the drum. The carrier may partially rotate with its center being the connection point.
  • In a derivative of this embodiment, when the user stops contacting the carrier while the carrier is the in the second position, the carrier returns to the first position with the effect of the gravitational force. This situation eliminates the need for the user to pull the carrier towards himself/herself in order to bring the carrier to the first position.
  • In another derivative of this embodiment, the laundry dryer comprises a stopper that enables the carrier to remain in the second position even if the user stops contacting the carrier while the carrier is in the second position.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the laundry dryer comprises an opening that provides to reach the base of the drum from under the carrier body. Thus, the user can reach the laundry located at the lower portion of the drum without contacting the carrier while the carrier is hung over the connection member.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier is produced by twisting and bending a wire. Thus, the carrier is easily shaped as desired.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier is of perforated structure. Thus, the surfaces of the items to be dried are provided to contact more hot air.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier comprises a U-shaped protrusion at its ends hung over the connection member, that is seated into the housing on the connection member and an extension disposed between the body and the protrusion, providing the carrier to extend from the loading port towards the drum.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, when the filter placed to the frame in order to retain particles such as lint, dust, etc. in the air in the drum is desired to be dislocated, the carrier does not prevent this action from being performed. The user can remove the filter by pushing the carrier to clean it, then mount it to its place.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the connection member is produced as integrated with the frame. Thus, production errors and waste of time are eliminated, that may occur during the assembly if these components are not produced in an integrated manner.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier comprises a foot that extends downwards from the body, providing the carrier to bear against the frame to be supported.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier comprises at least one handle that provides ease of utilization while the carrier is being mounted to the connection member and while it is carried by the user.
