is situated on the body (2), a dismountable member (5) which is placed into the body (2) by being passed through the opening (4), whereon the particles in the air leaving the drum (3) are accumulated and a lid (6) which covers the opening (4) so as to close the front of the dismountable member (5). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A dryer (1) comprising—a body (2),—a drum (3) disposed inside the body (2), wherein the laundry to be dried is placed,—an opening (4) which is situated on the body (2),—a dismountable member (5) which is placed into the body (2) by being passed through the opening (4), whereon the particles in the air leaving the drum (3) are accumulated,—a lid (6) which covers the opening (4) so as to close the front of the dismountable member (5),characterized by a release mechanism (7) disposed on the body (2), which transforms the vertical force applied thereon into the horizontal force when actuated and thus provides the lid (6) to be opened. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The dryer (1) as in claim 1, further comprising at least one housing (8) located on the lid (6) and at least one lock (9) disposed on the body (2), which provides the lid (6) to be kept in the closed position by being placed into the housing (8) when the lid (6) is in the closed position and the release mechanism (7) having a pusher (10) which pushes the lock (9) by moving in the direction vertical to the body (2) when actuated by the user and provides the lock (9) to move in the horizontal direction and to come out of the housing (8). ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The dryer (1) as in claim 2, further comprising the pusher (10) comprising a button (11) suitable for being actuated by the user and at least one push arm (12) connected to the button (11), the end of which is inclined and which extends towards into the body (2) perpendicularly to the button (11). ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The dryer (1) as in claim 3, wherein the lock (9) comprising at least one pressing surface (13) onto which the inclined end of the push arm (12) is seated and which is inclined in the direction opposite to the end of the push arm (12) and at least one tenon (14) extending in the direction vertical to the push arm (12), which provides the lid (6) to be kept in the closed position by being placed into the housing (8) when the lid (6) is in the closed position and which comes out of the housing (8) by sliding in the horizontal direction and provides the lid (6) to become free as a result of the force applied on the pressing surface (13) by the push arm (12) when the user moves the push arm (12) towards into the body (2) by pressing the button (11). ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The dryer (1) as in claim 4, further comprising a bearing (15) fixed to the body (2) and wherein the lock (9) is placed so as to move in the horizontal direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The dryer (1) as in claim 5, wherein the release mechanism (7) comprising a spring (16) placed between the bearing (15) and the lock (9), compressed when the tenon (14) moves in the direction to come out of the housing (8) by the user actuating the pusher (10) and which enables the tenon (14) to resume the locking position by becoming free when the force applied on the pressing surface (13) is removed when the user releases the pusher (10). ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The dryer (1) as in claim 6, wherein the lock (9) comprising two slides (17) disposed on its two sides, which enable the lock (9) to be placed into the bearing (15) so as to move in the horizontal direction and the bearing (15) comprising two rails (18) into which the slides (17) are seated. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The dryer (1) as in claim 7, wherein the bearing (15) comprising a stopper (19) which limits the movement of the lock (9) in the horizontal direction and prevents the lock (9) from coming out of the bearing (15) with the pressure applied by the spring (16) when the lid (6) is open. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The dryer (1) as in claim 8, wherein the lock (9) comprising two tenons (14), two pressing surfaces (13) disposed between the tenons (14) and a support (20) in the form of a plate, extending between the two pressing surfaces (13), contacted by the spring (16) from behind and by the stopper (19) from the front and the pusher (10) comprising two push arms (12) disposed at the level of the pressing surfaces (13). ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The dryer (1) as in claim 9, wherein a casing (21) disposed on the body (2) and wherein the pusher (10) is placed so as to move perpendicularly to the body (2). ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The dryer (1) as in claim 10, wherein the pusher (10) comprising an extension (22) in asymmetrical form which allows the pusher (10) to be mounted into the casing (21) only such that the inclined end of the push arm (12) is seated onto the pressing surface (13). ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The dryer (1) as in claim 11, wherein the pusher (10) comprising detent means (23) that prevent the pusher (10) from coming out of the casing (21). ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The dryer (1) as in claim 12, further comprising a recess (24) disposed on the body (2), a protrusion (25) disposed on the lid (6) and which is placed into the recess (24) when the lid (6) is closed and a prestress means (26) disposed in the recess (24), compressed when the protrusion (25) is seated into the recess (24) and which provides the lid (6) to be opened quickly by transmitting the energy stored therein as a result of being compressed when the lid (6) becomes free as the tenon (14) comes out of the housing (8). ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The dryer (1) as in claim 13, wherein the opening (4) and the lid (6) disposed at the front lower side of the body (2), at the region of the kick plate, close to its base. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The dryer (1) as in claim 14, wherein the body (2) comprising a front wall (27) which covers the front surface of the body (2) to the level of the lid (6) and a panel (28) which covers the portion that remains below the front wall (27), near the lid (6) and whereon the casing (21) and the recess (24) are disposed. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The dryer (1) as in claim 15, wherein the dryer is a heat pump type dryer and wherein the dismountable member (5) that is a filter. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The dryer (1) as in claim 15, wherein the dryer is a conventional type dryer and wherein the dismountable member (5) that is a condenser. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The dryer (1) as in claim 15, wherein the dryer is a conventional type dryer and wherein the dismountable member (5) that is a condenser group that contains the condenser and the filter.
