Abstract (en)
A fluff filter monitoring device for a laundry drier, operable to indicate the presence or absence of the filter (16) in its seat, and the operative state of the filter with regard to its being clogged with fluff. The device comprises a flexible plastic strip member (27) fixedly mounted in a housing space for the filter (16) and provided with a planar gate portion (26) adapted to intercept the movement of a lug (23) projecting from a door (11) provided for closing an opening giving access to the rotating drum (10) of the machine. When the filter (16) is removed from its housing space (17), the flexible strip member (27) is displaced to a position in which its planar gate portion (26) intercepts the movement of the lug (23) so as to prevent the door (11) from being closed, while when the filter is in place in its housing space, the planar gate portion (26) does not interfere with the lug (23) so as to permit the door (11) to be closed and the machine to be put into operation. <IMAGE>
