Abstract
A laundry dryer includes a dry drum in which laundry is loaded, a noise reduction member mounted on an outer circumference of the dry drum to absorb vibration/noise, a lift attached on an inner circumference of the dry drum to lift the laundry, a coupling member coupling the noise reduction member and/or the lift to the dry drum, and a belt disposed around the dry drum.
Claims27
A laundry dryer comprising:
- a dry drum in which laundry is loaded;
- at least one noise reduction member mounted on an outer circumference of the dry drum to absorb vibration/noise;
- a lift attached on an inner circumference of the dry drum to lift the laundry;
- a coupling member coupling the noise reduction member and/or the lift to the dry drum;
- and
- a belt disposed around the dry drum,
- wherein the dry drum is provided with a concave portion to prevent a head portion of the coupling member from interfering with the belt, and the noise reduction member is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of stainless steel plated with zinc or tin rubber and plastic.
