Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1690973A1] Clothes drying machine comprising a horizontal-axis rotating drum, and a rack-like framework capable of being removably installed inside said drum, while remaining physically separated therefrom, and adapted to be secured in a stationary manner relative to the structure of said machine, wherein said rack-like framework is provided with a bottom wall and a rod aligned with said bottom wall and extending parallel to said axis, a handgrip being firmly joined to the free front end portion of said rod. Said rod is adapted to be pushed into and/or pulled out from appropriate housing and retaining means associated to said bottom wall. When pulled out, said rod is capable of being rotated in the vertical plane up to a position lying above said bottom wall of the rack-like framework, with a rotary motion about a substantially horizontal axis across said housing and retaining means. When turned backwards, said rod takes an upward inclined position relative to said bottom wall.
