Abstract (en)

[origin: US6094763A] PCT No. PCT/EP97/03017 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 27, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 27, 1999 PCT Filed Jun. 10, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/00598 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 8, 1998In the method for unloading items of laundry from a spin-dryer or washer-dryer (20) which has a perforated operating drum (21) and a drum housing (22) with an end-side unloading opening (26) which can be closed by means of a door (27), after the spin-drying process is finished, the operating drum (21) is set to a speed at which the centrifugal force acting on the items of laundry is still somewhat greater than the force of gravity. The door (27) of the drum housing (22) is opened. The pipe of a suction conveying system is connected to the unloading opening (26) of the drum housing (22). The suction conveying system is activated, and on the drum housing (22) the closure member (29) of an air inlet opening, which is arranged on the peripheral wall, is opened. The method can also be used analogously in tumble-dryers. The device for carrying out the method has the device parts mentioned.
