  • Figures 27-28 are three-dimensional top and bottom views showing the base of the device of figs 25-26, respectively;
  • Figures 29-30 are exploded three-dimensional top and bottom views showing the cover of the device of figs . 25-26, respectively;
  • Figure 31 is a cross section view of figures 29-30 ;
  • Figures 32-33 are exploded three-dimensional top and bottom views showing a variation of the cover of the device of figs . 25-26 , respectively;
  • Figure 34 is a cross section view of figures 32-33 ;
  • Figure 35 is a three-dimensional view showing a detail of a support for rods on which clothes are hung up;
  • Figures 36 and 37 show a variation of the fourth embodiment of figures 25 and 26, respectively.
  • Figures 38 and 39 show a detail of figures 36-37 , respectively.
  • the device disclosed includes a cabinet for drying washing and other damp or wet materials with a shape preferably of a parallelepiped in which clothes to be dried are hung up as usual .
  • such cabinet is provided with means able to guarantee a forced ventilation through the clothes hung up inside it, thus reducing advantageously the time for drying clothes even under unfavourable climatic conditions .
  • the cabinet consists of preferably metal parts pre-painted in factory and manufactured in a modular structure that guarantees an easy transportation and assembling even by unskilled workers .
  • the device is 84 cm long, 30 cm wide, and 180 cm high; in the embodiments shown in figures 25 to 35 the device has a size of 80 cm x 40 cm x 180 cm. To make the moving easy, it is preferably equipped with swivelling wheels provided with limit stop even if its good operation and efficiency sets aside such wheels . It should be appreciated that the modular structure of the finding allows the production cost to be reduced to a minimum and washing drier cabinets of different size to be manufactured.
  • One embodiment of the invention is the so-called “basic” embodiment provided with a forced ventilation inside the cabinet .
  • a lower support base 1 ( 84 cm long, 30 cm wide, and 8 cm high) possibly provided with an inside basin 2 to collect condensate or water dripping from clothes hung out ;
  • an upper plate or "cover” 3 having the same size as lower base 1 and provided with holes for venting air; - two modular members for the left 4A and right 4B walls (30 cm wide and 165 cm high) and at least two covers for the bottom wall 5 ( 39 , 5 cm wide and 165 cm high) ;
  • At least three supporting brackets 8 are disposed inside the two side walls 4A-4B to support horizontal bars or rods 9 arranged so that washing can be hung to dry thereby.
  • Air circulation inside the cabinet is ensured by the presence of a plurality of slits 10 formed at the lower side of each two doors 6 and at least one opening arranged in the end member or upper plate 3 and inside which there is provided a fan 11 that causes a forced ventilation of air entering from lower slits 10 and coming out from such upper opening.
  • This first embodiment is mainly suggested where climate is mild all year round and sky is prevalently sunny with an average temperature greater than or equal to 20 0 C .
  • FIG. 7 to 10 and 17-18 A second embodiment shown in figures 7 to 10 and 17-18 is different from the "basic" embodiment by that there is provided preferably electrical heating means in addition to forced ventilation.
  • such heating means consists of an electrical resistance 13 placed at the lower base 1 of the cabinet so as to heat cold inlet air and to reduce the drying time .
  • basin 2 is provided with holes to help heat transfer .
  • This second embodiment is mainly suggested where climate is prevalently cold, rainy, snowy with average temperature lower than 2O 0 C . Its main feature is the electrical resistance 13 able to guarantee the heating of air inside the cabinet even with a low power consumption so that air can cross washing from the bottom to the top of the cabinet because of the suction of the fan disclosed above .
  • upper cover 3 is further provided with at least a timer 4 placed near main switch 12 to allow the user to control the drying time as well as power consumption by timing the operation of electrical resistance 13 and/or fan 11.
  • a third embodiment of the invention shown in figures 11 to 15 and 19-20 is essentially similar to the preceding embodiment but different from the latter by that the air heating takes place by means of a heat exchanger instead of the already described electrical resistance 13.
  • thermo exchange battery supplied with hot water from any boiler operating with gas , wood or any other fuel and capable of heating air inside the cabinet with a low power consumption.
  • a timer 14 placed near main switch 12 allows the user to control the drying time as well as heat and power consumption by timing the switching on/off of a suitable solenoid valve 15 controlling hot water flow into the heat exchanger and by timing the switching on/off of fan 11 accordingly.
  • This embodiment is particularly suggested in those situations where there is a constant production of hot water or other warm operating liquid .
  • the invention so far disclosed can advantageously be used also by large users such as communities , hostels , hotels, guesthouses, and great restaurants where there is the pressing need to dry washing within short .
  • the modular structure of the present invention allows washing dryer cabinets to be easily manufactured with suitable size for the most different needs even keeping the inventive concept at the base of the present invention unchanged.
  • the prototypes are made by steel plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm which is pre-painted in factory on both faces with scratch-resistant epoxy paint of pearl grey colour .
  • the invention can be easily used and moved on even surfaces by swivelling wheels 16 provided with stop .
  • the invention can be provided with one or more "germicidal" fluorescent low-consumption lamps
  • a fourth embodiment of the invention shown in figures 25 to 35 differentiates from the preceding embodiments by that air heating means 13 is also located in cover 3 together with all other electrical devices . It should be appreciated that in this case all electrical components and circuits are enclosed in the upper portion of the cabinet which is out of the children' s reach, thus increasing the safety against accident .
  • a further advantage of such embodiment is that the need of electrical connections from cover 3 to base 1 is avoided.
  • the cabinet consists of two modular members forming the side right 4B' and left 4A' walls (for example : 40 cm x 170 cm each) , two modular members 5' like the preceding ones for the bottom walls , and two doors 6 with the same size hinged at both external sides .
  • grids Gl and G2 of cover 3 can be disassembled for survey and maintenance
  • a variation of such cover 3 consists in that first grid Gl can be disassembled, and second grid G2 is one piece with the body of the cover ( figs . 32-34 ) .
  • FIG. 36-39 a variation of the fourth embodiment is shown in figures 36-39.
  • cover 3 is provided with a main switch 12 and three timers 14 , one for fan 11 and two for heater 13 , respectively, which allows the power of the heater to be choked in time .
  • Figure 39 shows in particular the electrical connections of switches and timers described above .
  • the present invention has been described and illustrated according to some preferred embodiments thereof, however, it is self-evident that those skilled in the art can make technically and/or functionally equivalent modifications and/or replacements without departing from the scope of the present industrial invention.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un compartiment de séchoir à linge comprenant un corps creux de préférence vertical pourvu d'un élément permettant à l'utilisateur de suspendre les vêtements qu'il souhaite faire sécher à l'intérieur de celui-ci, et d'un élément conçu pour assurer une ventilation forcée à l'intérieur dudit corps. Cette ventilation forcée produit un courant d'air qui traverse les vêtements suspendus à l'intérieur du corps creux grâce à des ouvertures et/ou des grilles prévues pour l'entrée et la sortie de l'air. Selon cette invention, outre la ventilation forcée, une unité de chauffage de l'air intérieur est de préférence positionnée à côté des ouvertures d'admission de l'air extérieur.
