Abstract
A clothes dryer including a housing having a drying chamber, with a perforated clothes drying drum rotatably mounted in the drying chamber. The perforated clothes drying drum is rotated by a belt driven by a motor mounted in the housing, with the motor also driving a blower for drawing air through the perforated drum and drying chamber and for exhausting the air from the housing. The air drawn through the perforated drum and drying chamber is heated by a heater mounted in the housing upstream of the drying chamber. The belt which rotates the drum is directly driven by the motor, with the motor and the drive belt being located within the dryer housing. The belt drive is located in a belt drive chamber of the housing which is a negative pressure zone of the dryer.
