- the intermediate member is in the form of a rectangular prism with a truncated top and rounded short edges.
- the receptacle is a container wherein water is filled by the user.
- the dryer comprises at least one first opening at the top of the receptacle which enables water to be filled therein.
- the first opening is in the form of a slit extending substantially along the receptacle.
- the form of the receptacle matches that of the intermediate member, and there are quadrilateral protrusions on the base of the receptacle, which are arranged on the intermediate member and which align with the recesses and enter the recesses when the intermediate member is placed thereon.
- there is an indicator on the side wall of the receptacle which enables the monitoring of the level of the water filled into the receptacle. Said indicator is formed by making a part of the side wall transparent.
- a quadrilateral barrier on the receptacle, surrounding the first opening.
- a sealing member between the receptacle and the casing, bearing against the inner walls of said barrier so as to surround the first opening on the receptacle.
- the indicator on the receptacle is manufactured by the blow molding method with its own water level.
- the dryer comprises a casing in the form of a rectangular prism, with a truncated top and rounded short edges, which covers the intermediate member and the receptacle attached thereon as well as the sealing member and which has at least one second opening at the top thereof.
- a window on the casing that allows the indicator on the wall of the receptacle to be viewed.
- the edges of the top of the casing are inclined downward and the edges form the edge of the second opening.
- a groove the base of which is the second opening is formed at the top of the casing. Consequently, the second opening on the casing is located at a level below the apex of the casing.
- the casing is fixed on the intermediate member and the receptacle by means of locking members.
- the casing is locked to the intermediate member from the side walls thereof and is locked to the receptacle from the top.
- the first opening and the second opening overlap.
- the first opening is wider than the second opening.
- the water passing through the first opening is directed to the second opening by means of the sealing member and transferred into the drum.
- the baffle is fixed to the drum by means of fixing members.
- fixing members In a version of this embodiment of the present invention, screws are used as fixing members. In another version of this embodiment of the present invention, claws are used as fixing members.
- the baffle can be easily attached to and detached from the drum by the user.
- the water filled into the baffle by the user is enabled to slowly penetrate the laundry with the movement of the drum.
- the water transferred to the laundry via the baffle evaporates due to the hot air in the drum.
- the evaporating water ensures that the wrinkles on the clothes are removed.
- bad odors on unwashed laundry are removed.
- the water delivery into the drum is performed in a simple and efficient manner. Thanks to the new baffle design, with the rotation of the drum, it becomes possible to generate steam by sprinkling water on the laundry in a controlled manner, thus eliminating the odor of the laundry and minimizing wrinkles.
- the baffle of the present invention the water is enabled to more homogeneously penetrate the laundry.
- the worn clothes which have odors thereon are dried in a short time without the need to wash.
- the laundry is refreshed, the wrinkles are removed and ironing can be performed with less effort.
- the dryer of the present invention comprises a drum; a baffle (1) which is attached onto the drum; an intermediate member (4) which enables the baffle (1) to be fixed onto the drum; a receptacle (3) which is attached onto the intermediate member (4), which is filled with water and which has a first opening (8) thereon; and a casing (2) which is fixed onto the receptacle (3), which has at least one second opening (9) overlapping with the first opening (8), and which covers the intermediate member (4) and the receptacle (3) ( Figure 2 ).
- the intermediate member (4) is a platform which is fixed on the drum, which moves with the drum and which forms a protrusion towards the center of the drum. There is at least one, and in the preferred embodiment, two rectangular recesses (12) on the intermediate member (4). Thus, the receptacle (3), which is attached to the intermediate member (4), is centered on the intermediate member (4) and the movement thereof on the intermediate member (4) is prevented.
- the intermediate member (4) is in the form of a rectangular prism with a truncated top and rounded short edges ( Figure 3 ).
- the receptacle (3) is a container wherein water is filled by the user.
- the dryer (1) comprises at least one first opening (8) at the top of the receptacle (3) which enables water to be filled therein.
- the first opening (8) is in the form of a slit extending almost all along the receptacle (3).
- the form of the receptacle (3) matches that of the intermediate member (4), and there are quadrilateral protrusions (13) on the base of the receptacle (3), which are arranged on the intermediate member (4) and which align with the recesses (12) and enter the recesses (12) when the intermediate member (4) is placed thereon.
- the dryer comprises an indicator (10) on the side wall of the receptacle (3), which enables the monitoring of the level of the water filled into the receptacle (3).
- Said indicator (10) is formed by making a part of the side wall transparent. Thus, the user can easily monitor how much water is filled into the receptacle (3) or whether there is water in the receptacle (3).
- the dryer comprises a barrier (14) in the form of a quadrilateral frame, on the receptacle (3), surrounding the first opening (8).
- the dryer comprises a sealing member (5) between the receptacle (3) and the casing (2), bearing against the inner walls of said barrier (14) facing the first opening (8) so as to surround the first opening (8) on the receptacle (3).
- the indicator (10) on the receptacle (3) is manufactured by the blow molding method with its own water level.
- the dryer comprises a casing (2) in the form of a rectangular prism, with a truncated top and rounded short edges, which covers the intermediate member (4) and the receptacle (3) attached thereon as well as the sealing member (5) and which has at least one second opening (9) at the top thereof.
- the dryer further comprises a window (11) on the casing (2) that allows the indicator (10) on the wall of the receptacle (3) to be viewed.
- the window (11) and the indicator (10) overlap.
- the edges of the top of the casing (2) are inclined downward and the edges form the edge of the second opening (9).
- a groove the base of which is the second opening (9) is formed at the top of the casing (2). Consequently, the second opening (9) on the casing (2) is located at a level below the apex of the casing (2). In this way, the filling of water in the receptacle (3) is facilitated and the laundry sticking onto the baffle (1) during the movement of the drum is prevented from closing the second opening (9).
- the instantaneous discharge of water from the baffle (1) is prevented, and the water in the receptacle (3) is allowed to slowly and homogeneously penetrate the laundry and turn into steam with hot air.
- the casing (2) holds the intermediate member (4), the receptacle (3) and the sealing member (5) together ( Figure 1 ).
- the casing (2) is fixed on the intermediate member (4) and the receptacle (3) by means of locking members (7).
