LINT TRAP FOR A CLOTHES DRYER

摘要

A lint trap is provided on the door of a clothes dryer where it is readily visible and accessible for cleaning. The lint trap is generally coextensive with the opening to the dryer basket and has a flange portion which, when the door is closed abuts the front baffle around the perimeter of the opening so that all air exiting from the basket must pass through the lint trap prior to coming into contact with any relatively cool surface. The flange supports a separable perforated filter guard and a fine mesh removable screen filter. The guard protects the screen and the lint deposited thereon from the clothes as they tumble within the dryer.
