Collapsible clothes dryer
Abstract
Abstract A COLLAPSIBLE CLOTHES DRYER HAVING A VERTICALLY ORIENTED CENTRAL DUCT IN WHICH A PLURALITY OF CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCTS PROJECT LATERALLY OUTWARDLY THEREFROM. THE CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCTS ARE PIVOTALLY CONNECTED TO THE CENTRAL DUCT SO AS TO BE SHIFTABLE FROM THEIR LATERALLY PROJECTING POSITION TO A POSITION GENERALLY PARALLELING THE CENTRAL DUCT. EACH CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCT HAS ONE END IN COMMUNICATION WITH AN OPENING IN THE CENTRAL DUCT WHEN POSITIONEED IN ITS LATERALLY PROJECTING POSITION AND INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF OPENINGS WHICH EXTEND LONGITUDALLY ALONG THE CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCT. MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR INTRODUCING HEATED AIR INTO THE CENTRAL DUCT. THE HEATED AIR ENTERS THE CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCTS AND PASSES OUT THE OPENINGS THEREIN TO CAUSE DRYING OF THE CLOTHING CARRIED BY THE CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCTS. A FLEXIBLE HOOD IS POSITIONED OVER THE CLOTHES SUPPORTING DUCTS AND SERVES TO RETAIN THE HEAT FROM THE AIR WHICH PASSES OUT THE OPENINGS IN SUCH DUCTS.
