LAUNDRY MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011218 titled 'LAUNDRY MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a clothes dryer that includes a housing, a fan, and a sound blocker. The housing has an internal cavity and an orifice. The fan is designed to direct air through the internal cavity. The sound blocker is placed within the cavity and can slide between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the sound blocker covers the orifice to block fluid communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the cabinet, reducing noise emitted through the orifice. In the second position, the sound blocker is retracted away from the orifice, allowing fluid communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the cabinet.
- The clothes dryer has a housing with an internal cavity and an orifice.
- A fan is used to direct air through the internal cavity.
- A sound blocker is placed within the cavity and can slide between two positions.
- In the first position, the sound blocker obstructs fluid communication through the orifice and reduces noise.
- In the second position, the sound blocker is retracted, allowing fluid communication through the orifice.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Household clothes dryers
- Commercial clothes dryers
- Industrial clothes dryers
Problems solved by this technology:
- Reduces noise emitted through the orifice of the clothes dryer.
- Blocks fluid communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the cabinet when needed.
Benefits of this technology:
- Quieter operation of clothes dryers.
- Improved user experience by reducing noise.
- Enhanced efficiency by controlling fluid communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
a clothes dryer includes a housing, a fan, and a sound blocker. the housing defines an internal cavity and an orifice. the fan is configured to direct air through the internal cavity. the sound blocker is disposed within the cavity and is configured to linearly slide between a first position and a second position. in the first position, the sound blocker is disposed over the orifice to obstruct fluid communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the cabinet via the orifice, and to reduce noise emitted through the orifice. in the second position, the sound blocker is retracted away from the orifice to allow fluid communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the cabinet via the orifice.
