A laundry dryer including: a drum, a motor to rotate the drum, a casing supporting the drum and including a rear wall and a front wall, a basement having first, second, third and fourth quarters with the first and third quarters on one side of a plane perpendicular to the basement plane and parallel to the drum axis, and the second and fourth quarters on an opposite side of the plane, a process air conduit in fluid communication with the drum and including a basement process air conduit located in the basement, and a heat pump circuit including a compressor, and first and second heat exchangers. The first and second heat exchangers are in the basement process air conduit mainly within third and fourth quarters, and the motor and compressor are mainly in, respectively, in the first and second quarters.

Laundry dryer

A laundry dryer having a drum, a casing supporting the drum and including a basement defining a basement plane, a basement process air conduit located in the basement and extending within the basement for a given length and having a basement air conduit width, and a heat pump having a first heat exchanger where refrigerant is cooled off and the process air is heated up, and a second heat exchanger where refrigerant is heated up and the process air is cooled off. The first heat and second heat exchangers are in the basement process air conduit to perform heat exchange between said refrigerant flowing in said heat pump circuit and said process air. The width of the basement air conduit along a first portion of its extension in the basement is wider than 50% of the width of the basement.

A laundry machine () having cabinet () housing a chamber () for treating laundry having a rotation axis (RR), a porthole () for providing access to and tightly closing the chamber (), a hinge () to pivot the porthole () to the cabinet (), an electromechanical lock () having a first member () on the porthole () and a matching member () on the cabinet (), and a grip-only handle (). The porthole () has at least one frame (), and a glass () secured to the at least one frame (). The electromechanical lock () is configured to be released by applying a force beyond a threshold onto the porthole () away from the cabinet (). The grip-only handle () and the first member () of the electromechanical lock () may be arranged in such a way that, when the porthole () is closed, the center of mass of the grip-only handle () and the center of mass of the first member () of the electromechanical lock () are located, with respect to the rotation axis (RR), at different angular positions. The grip-only handle () may be configured to be alternatively positionable in one of at least two prefixed positions with respect to the frame assembly.

Laundry treatment machine

A laundry dryer has a casing () accommodating therein a drying air circuit and operational devices for carrying out a drying treatment on laundry. The dryer further includes a basement () having a condensate draining path () for conveying moisture condensed from drying air towards a reservoir (). At least one condensate retaining region (A,B;A,B) is provided in the condensate draining path () and/or on reservoir () thereby forming a liquid trap for preventing drying air dispersing along path () from entering reservoir ().

A door (&#x2033;) for a laundry washing and/or drying appliance () includes a door inner frame (&#x2033;), a door outer frame (&#x2033;), and a transparent porthole window () having a border portion () fitted between the inner frame and the outer frame. In the solution according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the border portion of the porthole window has at least one receiving region () having, at least on one side thereof facing the inner frame or the outer frame, a seat (); at least the inner frame or the outer frame has, in a portion () corresponding to the receiving region () of the porthole window, at least one rib () fitting into the seat () of the receiving region ().

Porthole window for laundry washing and/or drying appliance

A home laundry drier () having a casing (), a laundry drying tub () housed inside the casing (), and a hot-air generator () for circulating hot air into the drying tub () along a drying circuit (). The drier () has an air filter () fitted stably, but easily removably, inside a pocket () located along the drying circuit (). And the filter () has a first mesh () defining a mesh wall of the filter (), and the openings () of which are sized to filter fluff/fibers of a size greater than or equal to a first size threshold (S); and a second mesh () defining another mesh wall of the filter (), and the openings () of which are sized to filter fluff/fibers of a size greater than a minimum second size threshold (S) lower than the first size threshold (S).
