Abstract: 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).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry treating machine (10) comprising at least one electric motor (22) and at least one inverter control device (24) for controlling the rotational speed of said electric motor (22), wherein the electric motor (22) is provided for driving a laundry drum (40), an air stream fan (20), a cooling air fan (34) and/or a heat pump compressor (18), and wherein the inverter control device (24) is controlled again by a control unit (52) of the laundry treating machine (10). The control unit (52) comprises or corresponds with a detection device for detecting the frequency of a main power supply connected to the laundry treating machine (10), wherein the control unit (52) and/or the inverter control device (24) control the electric motor (22) on the basis of one or more operating parameters depending on the detected frequency of the main power supply.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry treating appliance, such as a washing machine or a machine having laundry drying functions; a laundry treating appliance according to the invention comprises a cabinet assembly (1) including a front wall (3), a rear wall (4), side panels (31, 32) arranged between the front and rear walls (3, 4) and one or more beam elements (10) for structurally connecting the front and rear walls (3, 4), the cabinet assembly (1) accommodating operational components which are required for carrying out a treatment on laundry and a control unit device designed to control the operational components, the appliance having one of the beam elements (10) made of an electrical insulating material and formed as a box member (6) having an interior housing (50) for accommodating the control unit device therein.

Abstract: A laundry machine, in particular dryer, wash dryer or washing machine, includes: a body having a laundry loading opening; a drum, rotatably supported in the body; and a drum illumination device (10) for illuminating the interior of the drum. The drum illumination device (10) comprises a printed circuit board (PCB; 16) and at least one semiconductor or plasma light emitting element (19) arranged on the PCB (16), in particular at least one light emitting diode (LED).

Abstract: A tumble dryer includes: a laundry drum for loading/unloading the laundry; a humidity sensor system with at least one support for two or more electrodes, electrically insulated from one an-other and positioned in such a way that the electrodes are placed into or face the inside of the laundry drum, so as to contact the laundry loaded into the latter. The electrodes are electrically connected or connectable to a detection circuit and/or a control unit of the tumble dryer. Advantageously the support comprises at least two seats or channels for receiving the electrodes. Each seat or channel comprises at least one retaining element adapted for retaining a respective electrode the seat or channel.

Abstract: A laundry dryer includes a drying air circuit for circulating a drying air flow through laundry to be dried, a drying air moisture condensing unit and a condensate drawer tank (102) which is movable along a sliding path (A) relative to a housing (121). The condenser drawer tank (102) includes a condensate container (115) having a pouring opening (114) for collecting moisture condensed from the drying air flow. A guiding portion (128) is formed on an outer surface (127) of the condensate container (115) and extends parallel to the sliding path (A). The guiding portion (128) is arranged in proximity of a pouring opening (114) for driving at least a structural element (109, 112) of the laundry dryer to slide over the pouring opening (114) when the condensate drawer tank (102) moves along the sliding path (A).

Abstract: A circular sealing gasket can be interposed between a rear rim of a laundry dryer drum tubular body and a rear wall of the dryer casing. The laundry dryer may also comprise a substantially circular, basin-shaped lid or cover fixed to the rear wall, substantially coaxial to the tubular body, so as to form a cavity on the rear wall that communicates with a hot-air generator. A circular gasket-supporting collar may have a nominal diameter greater than that of the tubular body rear rim. The collar may be fixed to the periphery of the basin-shaped lid or cover and/or to the rear wall, coaxial to the tubular body. The circular sealing gasket can be force fitted into the gasket-supporting collar so as to come in abutment against a periphery of the basin-shaped lid or cover around the perimeter thereof.

Abstract: An upper cabinet of a rotary-drum laundry dryer outer casing can include a rear wall. The rear wall can include a sink-shaped bulge or recess. The bulge or recess can project outwards of the upper cabinet, be roughly centered to a rear rim of a dryer drum, and include a through opening. The upper cabinet can also include a substantially circular, basin-shaped lid or cover fixed to the inner face of the cabinet rear wall substantially coaxial to the drum. The lid or cover can be shaped so as to completely cover and close the outwards-projecting bulge or recess on the cabinet rear wall. This can form, on that rear wall, a cavity which communicates with the inside of drum and also with a hot-air generator via the through opening.
