<p>Drying apparatus (50) is disclosed in which a drying drum (51) with external louvres (63) formed in its periphery and mesh panels (65) formed in its end plates (53) is rotatable in bearings (55) about a horizontal axis. Rotation of the drying drum (51) induces an air flow between the external louvres (63) and the mesh panels (65), the air passing through textiles such as clothes or the like placed within the drying drum (51) through an access aperture (57), and also provides a tumbling action acting upon the textiles within the drying drum (51). The drying drum (51) is driven by an electric motor (66) through a friction-drive wheel (70) engaging with the outer periphery of the drying drum (51). The drum support frame (56) may be free-standing or may clamp to a balustrade, railing or the like.</p> |
