Abstract
A clothes dryer in accordance with the present invention includes a drum rotatably supported in a case having an interior space for drying clothes. Air for drying clothes is supplied to the suction duct that is connected to one side of the drum. An extension duct extending from the suction duct into the drum supplies the air from the suction duct into the drum. An exhaust duct is connected to the other side of the drum for exhausting the air that is used to dry clothes to the outside of the case. The clothes dryer uniformly dries clothes inputted into the drum as the dryer directly transmits heated air to the center portion of the drum, thereby improving clothes drying efficiency.
