Abstract (en)
The drum (T) which can rotate about its own axis and which is developed for washing and/or drying devices according to the present invention comprises at least one lifter element (1) positioned on the inner surface (T1) of the drum (T); and at least one groove (2) provided on said drum (T), into which groove said lifter element (1) is fastened. Upon the rotational movement of the drum (T), the lifter element (1) is moved within this groove (2), along and between the two ends (2a) of the groove (2). Thus, any laundry in the drum (T) is agitated and shaken in a more efficient way while the drum is rotated (T), as well as the efficiency of the washing and/or drying operation of the washing and/or drying device is increased.
