  • Device for catching pieces of clothes falling behind a washing machine or dryer
    Patent number: 5518309
    Abstract: The device catches pieces of clothes susceptible to fall behind a domestic appliance, such as a washing machine and a dryer. The domestic appliance comprises an upper backguard and a rear face spaced apart from a wall standing behind the appliance. A basket-like clothes catching member is mounted behind the backguard substantially over the spacing between the rear face of the domestic appliance and the wall behind this appliance, whereby pieces of clothes susceptible to fall behind the appliance are caught by this basket-like member. The latter member is advantageously pivotally mounted on the backguard so that it can be pivoted to help to recover the caught pieces of clothes.
