Patent number: 9567704Abstract: A tumble dryer (100) is provided having: a laundry drum (102) rotatably supported in a casing (110) and suitable to receive laundry to be dried. A lint filter assembly (1) can be housed in a housing (105) provided in the casing (110) so that, when the lint filter assembly (1) is placed in the housing (105), it intercepts a flow of air exiting the laundry drum (102). A humidity sensor system retrieves information about the actual humidity of the laundry in the drum (102) and has at least a pair of electrodes (20) positioned such that the laundry in the drum (102) can come into contact with the electrodes (20). A control unit (150) controls the operations of the tumble dryer; and an electric circuit (21, 22, 23) transmits a signal obtained from the electrodes (20) to the control unit (150).Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Electrolux Appliances AktiebolagInventors: Paolo Ros, Diego Dal Ben, Marco Santarossa

Patent number: 9273903Abstract: A laundry dryer has a casing (1) accommodating therein a drying air circuit and operational devices for carrying out a drying treatment on laundry. The dryer further includes a basement (8, 108) having a condensate draining path (21, 121) for conveying moisture condensed from drying air towards a reservoir (24, 124). At least one condensate retaining region (29A, 29B; 129A, 129B) is provided in the condensate draining path (21, 121) and/or on reservoir (24, 124) thereby forming a liquid trap for preventing drying air dispersing along path (21, 121) from entering reservoir (24, 124).Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2011Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Electrolux Home Products Corporation N.V.Inventors: Alessandro Vian, Marco Santarossa, Sergio Pillot
