  • Vent attachment for a hot air clothes dryer
    Patent number: 4498247
    Abstract: As a construction improvement to the commonly used device that typically is attached to the hose of a "hot air" clothes dryer to assist in indoor venting of the hot air, the within hose-attached device has a conical shape projecting into the path of the incoming hot air which, after being impinged upon, deflects the hot air along angular paths which significantly increases the volume of the hot air which is effectively discharged through the exit openings of the device, and to this extent the within device thus correspondingly diminishes the volume of hot air which otherwise back flows through the hose and adversely effects the operation of the clothes dryer.
