Thus, in a state where the outer tank cover 19 is mounted on the edge of the upper end opening of the outer tank 5, the upper exhaust passage 27 is joined to and communicated with the lower exhaust passage 18.

上部排気通路２７の先端部分である覆い部品２８の前部には、図４に示すように、上面から前面にかけて開口２９を形成しており、この開口２９は上部排気通路２７の排出口たるもので、この部分に開口２９を塞ぐようにしてフィルタ３０を装着している。   As shown in FIG. 4, an opening 29 is formed from the upper surface to the front surface of the front part of the cover part 28, which is the tip portion of the upper exhaust passage 27, and this opening 29 is a discharge port of the upper exhaust passage 27. Thus, the filter 30 is mounted so as to close the opening 29 in this portion.

フィルタ３０は、洗濯物を乾燥させるときに散出するリントを捕獲するためのもので、全体に箱形、特には平面で、左右の両辺部がほゞ平行で、前後の両辺部が非平行な、ほゞ台形の歪な箱形を成し、それを図５にも示すように、上面側３１と下部側３２とで構成している。更に、そのうち、上面側３１は、格子状を成すフレーム３３に網３４を張着して成り、下部側３２は、上面から前面にかけて開口し、周側部のうちの左側面部と後側面部とにそれぞれ入気口３５，３６を有するケースから成っている。   The filter 30 is for capturing lint that scatters when the laundry is dried. The filter 30 is generally box-shaped, in particular, a flat surface, the left and right sides are generally parallel, and the front and back sides are non-parallel. In addition, a substantially trapezoidal distorted box shape is formed, which is composed of an upper surface side 31 and a lower side 32 as shown in FIG. Further, among them, the upper surface side 31 is formed by attaching a mesh 34 to a frame 33 having a lattice shape, and the lower side 32 is opened from the upper surface to the front surface, and the left side surface portion and the rear side surface portion of the peripheral side portions are arranged. Each of which has an inlet 35, 36.

更に、下部側３２の左右の両側面部の前部には、指懸け部３７を図７に示すくぼみ形状で形成しており、この指懸け部３７、特にこれの下部に軸孔３８を形成している。これに対して、上面側３１には、前部の左右両端部にヒンジ軸３９を形成しており、このヒンジ軸３９を上記軸孔３８に上下回動可能に嵌合し、かくして、上面側３１を下部側３２に枢支結合し、特にはその上下回動可能な構造により上下に開閉可能に枢支結合している。又、その結果、ヒンジ軸３９は指懸け部３７に存在している。   Further, a finger suspension portion 37 is formed in a hollow shape shown in FIG. 7 at the front portions of the left and right side portions of the lower side 32, and a shaft hole 38 is formed in the finger suspension portion 37, particularly in the lower portion thereof. ing. On the other hand, on the upper surface side 31, hinge shafts 39 are formed at the left and right ends of the front portion, and the hinge shaft 39 is fitted into the shaft hole 38 so as to be rotatable up and down. 31 is pivotally coupled to the lower side 32, and is pivotally coupled so that it can be opened and closed vertically, particularly by its vertically rotatable structure. As a result, the hinge shaft 39 exists in the finger suspension portion 37.

加えて、下部側３２の左右の両側面部中、指懸け部３７の後側近傍には、図８及び図９に示すように、爪部４０を、これの弾性変形のための周囲切欠部４１と共に形成しており、これに対応して、前記上部排気通路２７の前記開口２９による排出口部分、特に覆い部品２８の左右両内側面部には、爪部４０の係止を受ける係止受け部４２を図４に示すように形成している。   In addition, in the left and right side portions of the lower side 32, in the vicinity of the rear side of the finger suspension portion 37, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a claw portion 40 is provided with a peripheral cutout portion 41 for elastic deformation thereof. Corresponding to this, on the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27 by the opening 29, particularly on the left and right inner side surfaces of the covering component 28, a latch receiving portion for receiving the claw portion 40 is provided. 42 is formed as shown in FIG.

そのほか、上部排気通路２７の排出口部分、特にそれの底面部を構成する外槽カバー１９の後部上面には、前後に延びる左右２つの凹条４３を形成しており、これに対応して、フィルタ３０の下部側３２の外下面には、それに遊嵌される２つの凸条４４を形成している。   In addition, the left and right concave ridges 43 extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the upper surface of the rear portion of the outer tank cover 19 constituting the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27, in particular, the bottom surface portion thereof. Two protrusions 44 are formed on the outer lower surface of the lower side 32 of the filter 30 so as to be loosely fitted thereto.

しかして、その構成で、フィルタ３０は、図４及び図１０に示すように、前方から上部排気通路２７の排出口部分に臨ませ、この位置から矢印Ｘで示すように後方へ進め、下部側３２の外下面（フィルタ３０の底面部）を上部排気通路２７の排出口部分における底面部である外槽カバー１９の後部上面に載せて、更に後方へと押し込めば、凸条４４が凹条４３に遊嵌してガイドされつつ、フィルタ３０は上部排気通路２７の排出口部分に開口２９を塞ぐように装着され、その装着位置では爪部４０が係止受け部４２に係止して抜け止めされる。   4 and 10, the filter 30 faces the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27 from the front as shown in FIGS. 4 and 10, and advances backward from this position as indicated by the arrow X, so that the lower side When the outer bottom surface of 32 (the bottom surface portion of the filter 30) is placed on the rear upper surface of the outer tub cover 19 which is the bottom surface portion of the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27 and pushed further backward, the ridges 44 become the dents 43. While being loosely fitted and guided, the filter 30 is mounted so as to block the opening 29 at the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27, and the claw portion 40 is locked to the locking receiving portion 42 at the mounting position to prevent the filter 30 from coming off. Is done.

そして、その状態では、図１１に示すように、指懸け部３７が、覆い部品２８の前部の左右両側部に形成した欠除部４５から前方に突出しており、そこで、この指懸け部３７のうちの左側の指懸け部３７に右手の親指の指先を懸け、右側の指懸け部３７に同右手の中指又は人差し指の指先を懸けて、それらの指先によりフィルタ３０を挟み持ち、両側から圧するようにすれば、指懸け部３７の近傍に存する爪部４０の部分が内側にたわんで爪部４０が係止受け部４２から外れる。そこで更に、フィルタ３０を挟み持ったまま、矢印Ｙで示すように前方に引出すと、フィルタ３０は図４に示すように取外される。かくして、フィルタ３０を、前方への引出し構造にて着脱可能に設けている。   In this state, as shown in FIG. 11, the finger suspension portion 37 protrudes forward from the notch portions 45 formed on the left and right side portions of the front portion of the covering component 28, and therefore, this finger suspension portion 37. Hang the tip of the thumb of the right hand on the left finger suspension 37 and the middle finger or the index finger of the right hand on the right finger suspension 37, hold the filter 30 by these fingertips, and press from both sides If it does in this way, the part of the nail | claw part 40 which exists in the vicinity of the finger suspension part 37 will bend inward, and the nail | claw part 40 will remove | deviate from the latching receiving part 42. FIG. Therefore, when the filter 30 is further pulled out as indicated by an arrow Y while holding the filter 30, the filter 30 is removed as shown in FIG. Thus, the filter 30 is detachably provided with a forward pulling structure.

次に、上記構成のものの作用を述べる。
乾燥時には、給風装置１１が作動されると共に、内槽７が回転される。従って、給風装置１１からは、図１に矢印Ｚで示すように、風（温風）が可撓ホース２６から通風口２４を通じて外槽５内に供給され、更に、回転バランサ１６の内方を通じて内槽７内に供給される。このとき、内槽７内では図示しない洗濯物が内槽７の回転によって撹拌されており、内槽７内に供給された温風は、その撹拌中の洗濯物に接触して、撹拌体８の有する図示しない孔、及び内槽７が底部に有する同じく図示しない孔を通じ、排気口１７から下部排気通路１８に達する。そして、その下部排気通路１８から上部排気通路２７を順に通り、更に、フィルタ３０の下部側の周側面部に存する入気口３５，３６からフィルタ３０内に入って、上面側３１の網３４を通り上方へ排出され、更に、外槽５と外箱２との間を通って、各部の適当な隙間や、外箱２の底部の開口２ａから機外に排出される。 Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
At the time of drying, the air supply device 11 is operated and the inner tank 7 is rotated. Therefore, as shown by an arrow Z in FIG. 1, wind (warm air) is supplied from the flexible hose 26 into the outer tub 5 through the ventilation port 24 and further from the inside of the rotary balancer 16. Is supplied into the inner tank 7. At this time, laundry (not shown) is stirred in the inner tub 7 by the rotation of the inner tub 7, and the warm air supplied into the inner tub 7 comes into contact with the laundry being stirred, and the stirring body 8. Through the hole (not shown) of the inner tank 7 and the hole (not shown) of the inner tank 7 at the bottom, the exhaust port 17 reaches the lower exhaust passage 18. Then, the air passes through the lower exhaust passage 18 and the upper exhaust passage 27 in order, and further enters the filter 30 from the inlets 35 and 36 existing on the peripheral side surface portion on the lower side of the filter 30, and passes through the mesh 34 on the upper surface side 31. It is discharged to the upper side of the street, further passes between the outer tub 5 and the outer box 2, and is discharged out of the machine from appropriate gaps in each part and the opening 2 a at the bottom of the outer box 2.

これを続けて内槽７の内部に位置した洗濯物を乾燥させるものであり、その乾燥運転中、排出風に運ばれるリントはフィルタ３０の特に上面側３１における網３４の裏面に付着して捕獲される。なお、捕獲されたリントは、フィルタ３０を取外すことによって、該フィルタ３０から容易に除去することができる。   This is followed by drying the laundry located inside the inner tub 7, and during the drying operation, lint carried by the exhausted air adheres to and captures the back surface of the net 34 on the upper surface 31 of the filter 30. Is done. The captured lint can be easily removed from the filter 30 by removing the filter 30.

このように本構成のものによれば、給風装置１１により、内槽７の内部に供給した風が、外槽５の下部から周側部に設けた下部排気通路１８、及び外槽カバー１９に設けた上部排気通路２７を順に通って排出され、そして、その上部排気通路２７の排出口部分に設けたフィルタ３０を通って排出されるもので、従来の外槽カバーに設けられた内蓋が有するフィルタを通って排出されるものとは異なり、上記フィルタ３０の裏面に付着して捕獲されたリントが、乾燥運転を終了、停止した際や、フィルタ３０を取外す際にフィルタ３０から離れても、内槽７の内部に落ちることはない。又、フィルタ３０自体、箱形であり、捕獲したリントをその内部に貯めることができる。そして更に、フィルタ３０は前方への引出し構造にて着脱可能であり、従来の上下に着脱されるフィルタと違って、フィルタ３０を取外す際に網３４の裏面から離れたリントが内槽７の内部に落ちることを一層確実に避けることができる。かくして、本構成のものの場合、洗濯物へのリントの再付着の問題を生じないようにすることができる。   As described above, according to the present configuration, the air supplied to the inside of the inner tub 7 by the air supply device 11 is provided from the lower portion of the outer tub 5 to the peripheral side portion, and the outer tub cover 19. Are exhausted in order through the upper exhaust passage 27 provided in the upper exhaust passage 27, and are then exhausted through the filter 30 provided in the exhaust port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27. The inner lid provided in the conventional outer tank cover Unlike what is discharged through the filter, the lint attached to the back surface of the filter 30 is separated from the filter 30 when the drying operation is finished or stopped, or when the filter 30 is removed. However, it does not fall into the inner tank 7. Further, the filter 30 itself has a box shape, and the captured lint can be stored therein. Further, the filter 30 can be attached and detached by a forward pulling structure. Unlike the conventional vertically attached and detached filter, when the filter 30 is removed, the lint separated from the back surface of the mesh 34 is inside the inner tank 7. Can be more reliably avoided. Thus, in the case of this configuration, it is possible to prevent the problem of reattachment of lint to the laundry.

加えて、本構成のものの場合、フィルタ３０は、風を周側面部（入気口３５，３６）から入れて（網３４から）上方へ排出するようになっており、これによって、網３４の裏面から離れたリントが入気口３５，３６からも内槽７の内部に落ちることのないようにできて、その内槽７の内部へのリントの落ちを一層確実に避けることができるから、洗濯物へのリントの再付着の問題を一層生じないようにすることができる。   In addition, in the case of this configuration, the filter 30 enters the air from the peripheral side surface portions (air inlets 35, 36) and discharges it upward (from the mesh 34). Since lint away from the back surface can be prevented from falling into the inner tank 7 from the air inlets 35 and 36, the lint falling into the inner tank 7 can be more reliably avoided. The problem of lint reattachment to the laundry can be further reduced.

又、本構成のものの場合、フィルタ３０は、リントが裏面に付着する上面側３１を開閉可能に有している。これにより、捕獲したリントを除去する折りには、フィルタ３０を前述のように取外した上で、更に上面側３１を開き、この状態で、上面側３１の裏面に付着したリントを容易且つ充分に除去することができる。   In the case of this configuration, the filter 30 has an upper surface 31 on which lint adheres to the back surface so that it can be opened and closed. Thus, for removing the captured lint, the filter 30 is removed as described above, and the upper surface side 31 is further opened. In this state, the lint attached to the back surface of the upper surface side 31 can be easily and sufficiently removed. Can be removed.

更に、本構成のものの場合、フィルタ３０は、両側面部に指懸け部３７を有すると共に、上面側３１を開閉可能に枢支したヒンジ軸３９をその指懸け部３７に有している。これにより、フィルタ３０を取外す折り、指懸け部３７に懸けた指による力でフィルタ３０の開きを防止し、更には前述のようにフィルタ３０を狭圧することで、ヒンジ軸３９の外れを防止しつつ、フィルタ３０の取外しができる。よって、その取外し途中に上面側３１が外れてリントを落とすというようなこともないようにでき、洗濯物へのリントの再付着の問題を更に生じないようにすることができる。   Further, in the case of this configuration, the filter 30 has finger hanging portions 37 on both side surface portions, and has a hinge shaft 39 pivotally supported so that the upper surface side 31 can be opened and closed in the finger hanging portion 37. As a result, folding of the filter 30 is prevented, and the opening of the filter 30 is prevented by the force applied by the finger suspended on the finger suspension part 37. Further, the filter 30 is narrowed as described above, thereby preventing the hinge shaft 39 from coming off. Meanwhile, the filter 30 can be removed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the upper surface 31 from being detached and dropping the lint in the middle of the removal, thereby further preventing the problem of the reattachment of the lint to the laundry.

そして、フィルタ３０は、装着位置で上部排気通路２７の排出口部分における係止受け部４２に係止する爪部４０を上記指懸け部３７の近傍に有している。これにより、フィルタ３０を取外す折り、指懸け部３７に懸けた指による力でフィルタ３０狭圧することで、前述のように、爪部４０の部分が内側にたわんで爪部４０が係止受け部４２から外れるから、フイルタ３０の取外しが合理的にして容易にできる。   The filter 30 has a claw portion 40 that is engaged with the engagement receiving portion 42 in the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27 at the mounting position in the vicinity of the finger suspension portion 37. As a result, the filter 30 is folded by removing the filter 30, and the filter 30 is narrowed by the force of the finger hung on the finger hanging portion 37, so that the portion of the claw portion 40 bends inward as described above, and the claw portion 40 becomes the locking receiving portion. Therefore, the filter 30 can be removed rationally and easily.

そのほか、フィルタ３０は、上部排気通路２７の排出口部分の底面部に設けられた凹条４３に沿う凸条４４を有している。これにより、リントを除去した後のフィルタ３０の取付けが、それらによるガイド作用で難なくできる。特に、本構成のものの場合、フィルタ３０は歪な形状を成すものであり、その取付けは困難になりがちであるが、それを上記凹条４３及び凸条４４によるガイド作用で難なくできるので、取扱い性が良く、装着姿勢も損ねることのないようにできる。   In addition, the filter 30 has a protrusion 44 that extends along the recess 43 provided on the bottom surface of the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27. Thereby, attachment of the filter 30 after removing lint can be done easily by the guide action by them. In particular, in the case of this configuration, the filter 30 has a distorted shape, and its attachment tends to be difficult, but it can be handled easily by the guide action by the concave stripes 43 and the convex stripes 44. It is good and can be worn without damaging the mounting posture.

以上に対して、図１２は本発明の第２実施例（第２の実施形態）を示すもので、第１実施例と同一の部分には同一の符号を付して説明を省略し、異なる部分についてのみ述べる。
このものの場合、フィルタ３０は、凸条４４の先端部を凹条４３の奥端部に接触させて、フィルタ３０の底面部を上部排気通路２７の排出口部分の底面部（外槽カバー１９の後部上面）から寸法Ｌだけ離間させている。 In contrast to this, FIG. 12 shows a second embodiment (second embodiment) of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. Only the part is described.
In this case, the filter 30 has the tip of the ridge 44 brought into contact with the back end of the groove 43, and the bottom of the filter 30 is connected to the bottom of the outlet portion of the upper exhaust passage 27 (the outer tank cover 19). The distance L is spaced from the rear upper surface).

これにより、フィルタ３０を着脱する際の凸条４４及び凹条４３によるガイド作用を得つつ、上部排気通路２７の排出口部分の底面部によるフィルタ３０の摺動抵抗を小さくでき、その分、フィルタ３０の着脱が第１実施例のものより容易にできる。
なお、凹条４３及び凸条４４については、凸条４４を上部排気通路２７の排出口部分の底面部に設け、凹条４３をフィルタ３０に設けるようにしても良い。 Accordingly, the sliding resistance of the filter 30 by the bottom surface portion of the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27 can be reduced while obtaining the guide action by the protrusions 44 and the recesses 43 when the filter 30 is attached and detached. 30 can be attached and detached more easily than that of the first embodiment.
As for the concave stripes 43 and the convex stripes 44, the convex stripes 44 may be provided on the bottom surface of the discharge port portion of the upper exhaust passage 27, and the concave stripes 43 may be provided on the filter 30.

又、内槽７の内部に供給する風は、常温の風だけであっても良い（温風でなくても良い）。すなわち、給風装置１１は風を熱するヒータ１５を具えていなくても良い。
そのほか、本発明は上記し且つ図面に示した実施例にのみ限定されるものではなく、要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で適宜変更して実施し得る。 Further, the air supplied to the inside of the inner tub 7 may be only normal temperature air (not necessarily hot air). That is, the air supply device 11 may not include the heater 15 that heats the wind.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
