sum 2 [1F 2 F/GJ IT 2/ Y1? INVENTORS TEE/FY01 140E ATTORNEYS '1 DELICATE Goons TRAY BACKGROUND or THE INVENTION This invention relates to devices for use in standard home clothes dryers. The devices are particularly adapted to support delicate goods which, because of their delicate nature, cannot be subjected to the normal tumbling action of the dryer. Thus, the articles are placed upon this device and remain stationary, though subjected to the heat of the dryer, while the main dryer drum continued to rotate in a normal manner.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a delicate goods tray of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the tray illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a rear view of a similar tray;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the male fitting attached to the tray;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the female receptacle attached to the axle of the drum;
A device for a similar purpose is described in' US SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION lnaccordance with the present invention, a delicate goods tray for the home dryer has been developed where special alignment in mounting the tray is not necessary. The tray is not placed in the dryer, except when delicate goods are to be dried. 4
However, with the present system, a female receptacle is, or can be, permanently mounted to the axle which supports the drum at the center rear. This receptacle is provided with portions to accommodate and maintain the alignment of the delicate goods tray.
The horizontal portion of the tray on which the delicate goods to be dried are placed, can take any form. Thus, it can be a wire rack, a wire mesh basket, or any other structure which will both support clothing to be dried and allow for passage of air through the clothing.
One end of the tray is formed with a male fitting, or a FIG. 6 is an enlarged, assembled view of the male fitting and female receptacle; and
FIG. 7 is a partial plan view of a tray, similar to the tray of FIG. 2, employing castors between the tray and drum to aid in holding the tray in a horizontal position.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, and particularly FIGS. 1 and 2, a wire tray 1 is illustrated having a horizontal portion 2 and upstanding side portions 3. The side portions are not essential, but do aid in retaining clothing placed on the horizontal portion, so that this clothing is not accidentally displaced from the tray and caused to fall onto the rotating drum. In addition, a front lip (not male fitting is attached to the tray. This fitting is formed the receptacle and to prevent rotation of the delicategoods tray. After insertion of the male fitting into the female receptacle, the basket is cantilever supported from the drum axle.
Thus, no unusual alignment problems are presented. The housewife need merely slide the male fitting into the female receptacle attached to the basket support axle and installation is completed. Removal is accomplished by disabling the locking means and is equally simple.
In one embodiment of my invention, that end of the tray to which the male fitting is attached or on which the fitting is formed, may also be provided with castors or rollers which will bear against the rear moving surface of the dryer drum. However, these rollers or castors are not a requirement.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a delicate goods tray for an automaticdryer which is easy to install and remove.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a tray for drying delicate goods which is supported from the rear of the drum.
illustrated) can be provided on the basket to serve the same purpose.
The horizontal portion 2 and vertical portions 3 are formed from wire support braces 4 to which are attached cross wires 5 on which the delicate goods to be dried are supported.
A male fitting 6 is attached to the end support 4, for example, by means of plate 7 connecting the two end supports. The male fitting 6 is attached to plate 7 as by means of a threaded member 8 which is inserted through opening 9 and held within threaded portion 10 of male fitting 6. It will be apparent that'the male fitting may be formed integrally with the end support, or otherwise attached.
The male fitting is also provided with a lug 20, spring urged outwardly by spring 21. Accidental removal of the lug is prevented through formation of shoulder 22 which abuts the edge of the male fitting. The lug 20 is held within opening 23 of female receptacle 24.
The male fitting is also provided with a guide pin 25 which acts to retain the fitting and, therefore, the attached basket, in a horizontal position, notwithstanding force applied to the basket. This alignment pin 25 can be eliminated, depending upon the force of spring 21. The fitting is also formed with a recessedportion 26 at the end opposite the threaded portion 10.
The female receptacle 24 is provided with an annular recess 30 to accommodate male fitting 6. Formed on the wall of the recess is opening 23 which accommodates spring loaded lug 20. Also formed on the surface of recess 30 is a slot-like opening 31 which accommodates the alignment pin 25 of the male fitting, when this alignment pin is present.
The female receptacle is joined to the axle 32 of the horizontally supported drum as by means of threaded member 33 inserted into recess 30 and through opening 34 formed at the rear of the recess. This threaded member replaces a member normally formed over the axle end. Recessed portion 26 of the male fitting accommodates the head of threaded member 33.
Because of the plate removed from the normal tub opening covering the end of the axle, there is a danger of a lint flow through the now formed opening and into the operating mechanism of the dryer. For this reason, sleeve 35 is formed about female receptacle 2 4 and is held in place by an extension 36 of the rear of the drum cylinder, the latter preventing tangling of clothes about the axle in addition to maintaining the sleeve 35 in place to prevent flow of lint through the opening.
In a second embodiment, illustrated particularly in H6. 7, a delicate goods tray 1 is again shown with a male fitting 6 and female receptacle 24, the latter attached to axle 32. Mounting is in the same manner as illustrated in the first embodiment, the difference being the castors 40 which are attached to the tray 1' and formed so as to ride along rear wall 41 of the dryer drum. Such castors can be employed if it is believed that a particularly heavy tray or load will be used, the castors acting to provide additional horizontal support for the tray.
In operation, the axle 32 is provided with a threaded opening by which the female receptacle 24 is attached.- This attachment is permanent and the receptacle is mounted in such a way that opening 23 and slot 31 are aligned for horizontal support of the delicate goods tray. The delicate goods tray is attached to the female receptacle through means of male fitting 6. This fitting is aligned in such a manner that the spring loaded lug will be inserted into opening 23 and alignment pin 25, if present, will move into slot 31. When the male fitting has been inserted sufficiently, the spring loaded lug 20, which is depressed upon initial movement, will snap into opening 23 so as to hold the male fitting and, thus, the delicate goods tray, in place. After drying a load of delicate goods, if it is desired to remove the tray, the lug 20 is depressed so as to allow withdrawal of male fitting 6 from female receptacle 24, which completes removal of the tray from the dryer.
It will be appreciated that the dryer in which the receptacle and tray of the present invention are placed is a standard, horizontal, automatic, home type dryer.
Thus, it includes a standard cabinet in which the drum is mounted and supported on lower rollers, or pedestals, and on a rear axle which provides support at the center of the drum. Such a dryer is illustrated, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,567,297. It will further be appreciated, of course, that the standard dryer can be easily converted so as to be useful in drying of delicate goods according to the present invention. The support axle need merely be tapped to allow for attachment of the receptacle. The tray would be supplied with the receptacle and would be employed in the same manner described according to this invention.
While the present invention has been described according to particular embodiments for purposes of illustration, the invention is not so limited.
