Abstract
A dryer having a cylindrical lint screen connected to and extending from the rear of a rotating clothes drum. The drum is defined by a circumferential wall having perforations or air exit ports. A casing surrounds the drum thereby defining an air recirculation passageway from the perforations radially through the screen. Airborne lint is deposited on the screen as air passes therethrough en route to either the drum air inlet or the exhaust outlet. The lint is incinerated as the screen rotates past the drying air heat source.
