Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006097364A1] The invention relates to a support structure for a clothe dryer (1) comprising modular units for receiving functional parts (11, 12) and an air duct components (13, 14, 15). The modular units (6, 7, 14) are incorporated into the support structure. The inventive support structure for stabilising the clothes dryer comprises a front part in the form of a combined body provided with an end shield (6), a front wall (4), a base module on the bottom side comprising a base body (7) and a process air lid (14), a rear module comprising the rear wall (5), a heating device (10) and a cover. The joining surfaces between the modular units (6, 7, 14) are located on a vertical plane. Connections are constructed in such a way that they are devoid of sealing elements which are currently used for joining surfaces. With respect to known embodiments, the inventive clothes dryer structural design is producible with a low material consumption and, in general, can be produced in a more rational manner.
