Laundry appliance having an ultrasonic drying mechanism

A laundry appliance comprising:

• a cabinet having a fabric treating chamber operably positioned therein for processing fabric;
• transducers positioned proximate the fabric treating chamber that provide an ultrasonic resonance that is directed into the fabric treating chamber;
• and
• an air handling system that operates cooperatively with the transducers to remove at least humidified air from the fabric treating chamber;
• wherein
• the ultrasonic resonance is selectively adjustable between a plurality of operational frequencies that are directed into damp fabric being treated within the fabric treating chamber;
• and
• the ultrasonic resonance modifies water trapped within the damp fabric into the humidified air.

A laundry appliance comprising:

• a cabinet having a drum operably positioned therein for processing fabric, the drum having a rotational portion and a stationary portion;
• a plurality of transducers disposed proximate at least the stationary portion and that provides an ultrasonic resonance that is directed into a fabric treating chamber of the drum;
• and
• an air handling system that operates cooperatively with the plurality of transducers and the rotational portion of the drum to remove at least humidified air from the fabric treating chamber;
• wherein
• the ultrasonic resonance is adapted to be directed into damp fabric being treated within the fabric treating chamber;
• and
• the ultrasonic resonance modifies water trapped within the damp fabric into the humidified air.
