Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer comprising a transportation safety member.
  • the laundry to be dried is loaded into a drum.
  • the drying process is realized by this drum being driven and rotated by a motor.
  • a sliding or roller bearing system is used for drums to be borne from their front side.
  • the roller system is preferred, at the moments of falling and impact that can occur during transportation, deformations occur depending on the impact on the drum areas wherein the rollers are contacted.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry dryer comprising a transportation safety member which prevents the drum from being damaged during transportation.
  • 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 body, a drum, more than one roller which provides the drum to be borne, and a frame whereon the rollers rotating by means of the drum are mounted.
  • the laundry dryer of the present invention comprises a transportation safety member having two positions. When the laundry dryer is to be transported, the transportation safety member is changed from the first position wherein it does not contact the drum to the second position wherein it separates the drum from the rollers by contacting the drum.
  • the transportation safety member pushes the drum upwards.
  • the drum is separated from the rollers whereon it is seated and the drum is secured against possible impacts it may be subjected to in cases such as storing and transporting the laundry dryer.
  • the transportation safety member comprises a shaft with a toothed part thereon, a resting member which is located at the shaft end facing the drum, and a head allowing the screwing process of the shaft to be performed by being rotated inside the guide.
  • the resting member has the same shape as the portion it touches the drum.
  • the transportation safety member can lift the drum without deforming it.
  • the transportation safety member has a resting member produced from elastomeric material.
  • the production cost of the resting member decreases.
  • the laundry dryer comprises a guide having a screw hole wherein the transportation safety member moves.
  • the transportation safety member moves inside the guide at intervals of a screw pitch, the force to be applied onto the drum is provided to be controllable.
  • the head of the transportation safety member bears against the stopper after the drum is separated from the rollers.
  • the transportation safety member is prevented from being moved by the user more than desired and also, the drum is prevented from moving upwards more than desired.
  • an opening which allows access to the transportation safety member through the base of the body, is arranged in the laundry dryer.
  • the guide is positioned near one of the front corners of the body base.
  • the guide is not placed right below the drum but near the front corner of the body base eccentrically with respect to the vertical axis passing through the center of the drum.
  • the laundry dryer comprises two guides arranged at the front corners of the body base and two transportation safety members inserted into those guides.
  • the force acting on by means of the transportation safety member is dispersed and the convex shape of the drum is preserved.
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises
  • the laundry dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a transportation safety member (6) which has a first position wherein it does not contact the drum (3) and a second position wherein it contacts the drum (3) by being moved and provides the contact of the drum (3) with the rollers (4) to be broken ( Figure 1 ).
  • the position of the transportation safety member (6) is changed so as to provide a certain distance (D) between the drum (3) and the rollers (4).
  • the user first positions the laundry dryer (1) so as to allow access to the transportation safety member (6) and then provides the movement of the transportation safety member (6) inside the laundry dryer (1) by moving the transportation safety member (6). After the transportation safety member (6) contacts the drum (3) and separates the drum (3) from the rollers (4) as much as a certain distance (D), the laundry dryer (1) becomes ready for the transportation process ( Figure 3 ).
  • the transportation safety member (6) When the laundry dryer (1) reaches the place to be transported, the transportation safety member (6) is changed from the second position to the first position. In this position, the drum (3) contacts the rollers (4). The laundry dryer (1) is positioned such that the transportation safety member (6) can be reached and then, by moving the transportation safety member (6), the drum (3) is provided to be seated onto the rollers (4) by means of the transportation safety member (6) ( Figure 2 ).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises the transportation safety member (6) which moves the drum (3) upwards while being brought from the first position to the second position.
  • the drum (3) is lifted upwards during transportation and by breaking the contact of the drum (3) with the rollers (4) damages that may occur if the laundry dryer (1) falls down are prevented.
  • the transportation safety member (6) comprises a screw-shaped shaft (7) extending from the body (2) towards the drum (3), a resting member (8) which is located at the shaft (7) end facing the drum (3) and contacts the drum (3) when the transportation safety member (6) is in the second position, and a head (9) which is located at the lower end of the shaft (7) and allows the shaft (7) to be rotated.
  • the pressure acting on the drum (3) by the resting member (8) is reduced and the drum (3) is prevented from being deformed due to the force applied onto the drum (3), and the distance between the transportation safety member (6) and the drum (3) is adjusted by means of the head (9) ( Figure 4 ).
  • the transportation safety member (6) comprises a resting member (8) having the same shape as the portion it contacts the drum (3).
  • the resting member (8) uniformly contacts the drum (3).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises the transportation safety member (6) which has a resting member (8) produced from elastomeric material.
  • the drum (3) is not damaged at the moment the resting member (8) contacts the drum (3), for example, in case that the drum (3) moves and falls down onto the resting member (8) during transportation.
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises a guide (10) which is located between the body (2) and the drum (3) and has a screw hole providing the shaft (7) of the transportation safety member (6) to be borne.
  • the screw-shaped shaft (7) can be moved inside the guide (10) in the desired distance ( Figure 4, Figure 5 ).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises a stopper (11) which is located on the guide (10) and prevents the shaft (7) from leaving the guide (10) after the shaft (7) moves towards the drum (3), and the transportation safety member (6) which has a head (9) having a diameter greater than that of the shaft (7) so as to allow the transportation safety member (6) to be stopped by bearing against the stopper (11).
  • the movement of the transportation safety member (6) inside the guide (10) is limited after the drum (3) is separated from the rollers (4) and the drum (3) is prevented from hitting the upper surface of the frame (5) ( Figure 4 ).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises an opening (12) which is arranged on the body (2) at the level of the guide (10) and allows the transportation safety member (6) to be placed into the guide (10).
  • the position of the transportation safety member (6) can be changed by reaching into the guide (10) through the opening (12).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises the guide (10) which is positioned near one of the front corners of the body base (T).
  • the transportation safety member (6) can be reached easily by bringing the laundry dryer (1) to a half-angled position.
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises two guides (10) located near the front corners of the body base (T) and two transportation safety members (6) mounted to the guides (10).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises two guides (10) located near the front corners of the body base (T) and two transportation safety members (6) mounted to the guides (10).
  • the laundry dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a transportation safety member (6) that can have two positions. By changing the transportation safety member (6) to the second position, the drum (3) is separated from the rollers (4) it is seated on. Thus, the safety of the laundry dryer (1) during transportation is provided.
