Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1832678A1] A household clothes drying machine comprises a drum (1), a delivery conduit (2) that conveys the drying air into said drum (1), and an outlet conduit (4) that removes the drying air from the interior of said drum (1). On the rear region of the drum (1) where a side of an elevator (30) is joined there is a proper opening (31), so that a portion of the drying air can flow from the outer region of the drum (1), and thorough said opening (31), from a lateral side of the elevator (30) into it. With respect of said opening (31), on the other side the elevator (30) is open into the inner volume of the drum, so the air crossing said elevator flows into the drum, where it mixes with the drying air therein blown in a conventional way. The air deviated into the lifter is taken from an outer cylindrical element (20) formed on one side by the rear circular base (21) of the drum, on the opposite side by an annular region of the inner surface of the back wall (22) of the drying machine, and laterally by a cylindrical strip (23) joining said circular base (21) with said inner surface of the back wall (22).
