Description
TITLE: COMBINATION TUMBLE AND CABINET DRYER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the United States, clothes dryers typically include a rotatable drum in which wet clothes are tumbled as hot air is passed through the drum to remove moisture from the clothes. Drying cabinets are also known in the art, though are more popular in Japan than in the United States. Drying cabinets provide hot air for drying clothes hanging in the cabinet. Drying cabinets can also be used for de-wrinkling clothes by providing steam into the cabinet to remove wrinkles.
It has also been known to position a cabinet dryer adjacent a tumble dryer and connect an air duct from the tumble dryer to the cabinet dryer so as to direct the hot air from the tumble dryer to the cabinet dryer. However, the cabinet dryer cannot be operated independently of the tumble dryer in such a set up.
Accordingly, a primary objective of the present invention is the provision of an improved combination tumble and cabinet dryer.
Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a combination tumble and cabinet dryer wherein the tumble and cabinet dryers can be operated independently of one another.
A further objective of the present invention is the provision of a clothes drying appliance having both a tumble dryer and a cabinet dryer housed within a cabinet so as to define a single portable unit.
Still another objective of the present invention is the provision of a clothes drying appliance with a tumble dryer and a cabinet dryer, with independent sources of hot air for each of the dryers.
Yet another objective of the present invention is the provision of a combination tumble and cabinet dryer wherein the cabinet dryer includes a shelf area and a hanging area.
Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a combination tumble and cabinet dryer wherein the cabinet dryer extends along one side of the tumble dryer.
These and other objectives will become apparent from the following description of the invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A combination tumble and cabinet dryer is provided wherein the tumble dryer and cabinet dryer are operable independently of one another. The tumble dryer is operatively mounted within a cabinet. A liner in the cabinet defines a cabinet dryer within the cabinet.
The cabinet dryer extends over and along one side of the tunZble dryer.
Separate first and second sources of heated air are provided for the tumble dryer and cabinet dryer, respectively. The cabinet dryer includes a shelf area with removable shelves and a hanging area for receiving clothes on hangers. A portion of the cabinet dryer extends substantially along the height of the cabinet wherein long clothes, such as dresses, can be hung for drying. Steam may also be provided to the cabinet dryer for de-wrinkling of clothes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Figure 1 shows a combination clothes drying machine 10 having a tumble dryer and a drying cabinet 14. The tumble dryer 12 and cabinet dryer 14 are housed within a cabinet or housing 15 so as to define a single appliance with dual functions.
The drying cabinet 14 is shown to be mounted on top of the tumble dryer 12, though it is understood that other configurations can be provided. The tumble dryer 12 includes a door 16 so as to provide access to the rotatable drum 18.
The drying cabinet 14 includes a pair of doors 20 which provide access to a drying compartment 22. As seen in Figure 2, the compartment 22 may include removable shelves 24, which preferably have a mesh support surface so that air can circulate therethrough, and a hanging bar 25 to hold clothes on hangers.
The compartment 22 is formed by a liner 26, best shown in Figure 4. The liner includes opposite side walls 28, 30, a rear wall 32, a top wall 34, and a bottom wall 36.
The bottom wall 36 has a curved profile so as to extend around the drum 18 of the tumble dryer 12. The compartment 22 includes an elongated portion 38 adapted to receive long hanging items for drying, such as a dress. Thus, the cabinet dryer 14 includes a shelf area and a hanging area. It is understood that the shelves 24 can be removed so that clothes on hangers can be supported by the hanging bar 25 substantially across the width of the cabinet dryer 14.
Figures 5-7 show the independent hot air systems for the tumble dryer 12 and cabinet dryer 14. More particularly, the hot air supply system for the tumble dryer 12 includes a blower 44 which draws air through a rear duct 46 for introduction into the drum 18 via an inlet grid 48. An air heater 50 is provided in the duct 46 for heating the air before introduction through the grid 48. The heated air is pulled through the tumbling clothes load to the blower 44. Then the air is forced out of the tumble dryer 12 via an exhaust duct 52.
The hot air supply system for the cabinet dryer 14 includes a blower 54 which forces air past a heater and steamer unit 56 in an inlet duct 58. The duct 58 leads to a plenum 60 extending behind the cabinet dryer and substantially across the width thereof.
The hot air is directed from the plenum 60 through a plurality of air nozzles 62 in the back wall of the cabinet dryer 14 to dry articles hanging on the bar 25 or sitting upon the shelves 24. The cabinet dryer 14 includes an air return grid 64 connected to a duct 66 which can alternatively recycle air back through the blower 54 or exhaust the air to the atmosphere. Details of the air plenum 60 and nozzles 62 are described in Canadian patent application No. 2,455,373.
The combination tumble and cabinet dryer appliance 10 includes controls to separately operate the independent hot air supply systems for either or both of the tumble 6405928.1 and cabinet dryers 12, 14. Accordingly, the tumble dryer 12 and the cabinet dryer 14 can be operated independently of one another, either simultaneously or one at a time.
The invention has been shown and described above with the preferred embodiments, and it is understood that many modifications, substitutions, and additions may be made which are within the intended spirit and scope of the invention.
From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention accomplishes at least all of its stated objectives.
The compartment 22 is formed by a liner 26, best shown in Figure 4. The liner includes opposite side walls 28, 30, a rear wall 32, a top wall 34, and a bottom wall 36.
The bottom wall 36 has a curved profile so as to extend around the drum 18 of the tumble dryer 12. The compartment 22 includes an elongated portion 38 adapted to receive long hanging items for drying, such as a dress. Thus, the cabinet dryer 14 includes a shelf area and a hanging area. It is understood that the shelves 24 can be removed so that clothes on hangers can be supported by the hanging bar 25 substantially across the width of the cabinet dryer 14.
Figures 5-7 show the independent hot air systems for the tumble dryer 12 and cabinet dryer 14. More particularly, the hot air supply system for the tumble dryer 12 includes a blower 44 which draws air through a rear duct 46 for introduction into the drum 18 via an inlet grid 48. An air heater 50 is provided in the duct 46 for heating the air before introduction through the grid 48. The heated air is pulled through the tumbling clothes load to the blower 44. Then the air is forced out of the tumble dryer 12 via an exhaust duct 52.
The hot air supply system for the cabinet dryer 14 includes a blower 54 which forces air past a heater and steamer unit 56 in an inlet duct 58. The duct 58 leads to a plenum 60 extending behind the cabinet dryer and substantially across the width thereof.
The hot air is directed from the plenum 60 through a plurality of air nozzles 62 in the back wall of the cabinet dryer 14 to dry articles hanging on the bar 25 or sitting upon the shelves 24. The cabinet dryer 14 includes an air return grid 64 connected to a duct 66 which can alternatively recycle air back through the blower 54 or exhaust the air to the atmosphere. Details of the air plenum 60 and nozzles 62 are described in Canadian patent application No. 2,455,373.
The combination tumble and cabinet dryer appliance 10 includes controls to separately operate the independent hot air supply systems for either or both of the tumble 6405928.1 and cabinet dryers 12, 14. Accordingly, the tumble dryer 12 and the cabinet dryer 14 can be operated independently of one another, either simultaneously or one at a time.
The invention has been shown and described above with the preferred embodiments, and it is understood that many modifications, substitutions, and additions may be made which are within the intended spirit and scope of the invention.
From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention accomplishes at least all of its stated objectives.
