| 034235000 | With venting means | 11 |
| 20080216345 | Device for dehydrating food - The invention describes a device for dehydrating food such as fruits, vegetables, or meat products such as jerky. The device is adapted to permit opening form either screened side. An advantage to the present invention is the use of a cable that is resistant to stretching while avoiding the use of rods that bend in the center. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090260251 | Clothes dryer with louvre cover - A clothes dryer has horizontally extending louvres located in its rear cabinet wall that permit ambient air to enter the dryer cabinet during normal dryer operation. U-shaped cover brackets are positioned to horizontally extend and cover the louvres where the brackets each define a horizontally extending airflow channel having opposing open ends. Air entering the dryer flows through the louvres along the airflow channels and out through the open ends. The cover bracket helps to contain a fire within the dryer cabinet should one occur by restricting flow of ignited particles and other debris as a result of a fire from exiting through the louvre. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100031527 | Next generation dryer vent system - A dryer vent contains one to three components that connect the dryer from the dryers exhaust port to the wall connection port where the air flow is directed to the outside of the business or residence. The Next Generation Dryer Vent System is composed of two end units that have a universal fitting and they are connected by a flexible rectangular tube allowing for the dryer to be closer to the back wall in which current available products leak or fail. The universal fittings allow for a proper seal while maintaining flexibility the end units transfer the heat from one end to the other thru the tubing to the outside port exhaust. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100162588 | DEVICE FOR DRYING CLOTHES - A device for drying clothes includes a tunnel portion ( | 07-01-2010 |
| 20120073158 | Slim vent-expandable dryer exhaust vent system - System for installation of a complete, safe, compact, and efficient one piece dryer exhaust. Provides a removable end cap for access to internal areas of conduit for dryer lint build-up removal. This will allow the removal of built up lint which is a potential fire hazard, which current available products lack. Has a recessed collar/sleeve connector to the outside wall port. Allows dryer placement in tight confines: laundry closets, pantry areas, first floor apartments, anyplace where space for a dryer vent is limited. System may be used to route dryer exhaust conduit inside of dwelling walls. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120180334 | TWO LEVEL ELECTRIC RESISTANCE HEATER AND METHOD OF USE - An electrical resistance heater assembly includes a heater housing forming a channel having a longitudinal axis for a fluid such as air to pass through and a heater support plate forming first and second levels in the heater housing. A first mica board assembly supporting a ribbon heater is mounted to the heater support plate at the first level and a second mica board assembly supporting a ribbon heater is mounted to the heater support plate at the second level. The first level is positioned adjacent an inlet of the heater housing and the second level is positioned adjacent an outlet of the heater housing. The first level and a side of the heater housing form a passageway for air to enter the heater housing and be directed to the ribbons of the second level, thereby allowing air to bypass the heater ribbons of the first level. | 07-19-2012 |
| 20140317949 | Retractable Clothes Dryer Vent - A retractable clothes dryer vent includes a support, a duct coupling, a dryer vent hose, a dryer exhaust coupling, a first retraction guide assembly, and a second retraction guide assembly. The duct coupling is mounted in the support and has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an opening extending through the support. The dryer vent hose has a first end extending from the first end of the duct coupling and a second end opposite the first end. The dryer exhaust coupling extends from the second end of the dryer vent hose. The first retraction guide assembly has a first end mounted to the support and a second end anchored to the dryer exhaust coupling. The second retraction guide assembly has a first end mounted to the support and a second end anchored to the dryer exhaust coupling. | 10-30-2014 |
| 20150121715 | Dryer Vent Hose Assembly - The disclosed dryer vent is a spring-loaded, expandable/retractable dryer vent assembly. The assembly houses a flexible dryer vent aluminum hose with spiral wire. The flexible aluminum dryer vent hose has a plurality of spring rings therearound allowing springs to be attached therebetween. The ends of the flexible dryer vent hose are clamped with a clamp assembly that also has mounts for additional springs. The end clamp assembly clamps the flexible dryer vent hose at each end to annular duct pieces that mount to the dryer or the household wall. The dryer vent hose freely rotates and can be expanded, retracted, or twisted without kinking. | 05-07-2015 |
| 20150354127 | DRYER VENT - A vent apparatus comprises a mount with air flow opening for mounting to a wall, a housing covering the mount, and a door pivoted to fall by gravity to a closed position but being movable to an open position when air flows from the air outflow passageway. The housing forms a downwardly and outwardly open chute extending well below a bottom of the mount and door, thus discouraging birds from approaching the air flow opening. The door and mount include bottom flanges that overlap when the door is in the closed position, further discouraging bird entry. The mount, housing and door are all metal with stiffening bends that are relatively simple construction, making assembly tow cost and providing a reliable function. The housing does not include large horizontal surfaces, thus discouraging birds and animals from building a nest in or on the housing. | 12-10-2015 |
| 20160054058 | GRAIN DRYERS CONFIGURED SO THAT DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF DUCTS IN A GRAIN COLUMN ARE SELECTABLE FOR COOLING - A grain dryer has a grain column configured to receive grain to be dried and ducts extending from a first wall of the grain column to a second wall of the grain column. The grain dryer is configured so that different numbers of the ducts are selectable for handling cooling air used for cooling the grain. | 02-25-2016 |
| 20160143507 | REDUCED VAPOR DRY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISHWASHERS - An example vent assembly for a dishwasher having a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, and an exhaust vent, includes a condenser having an outlet, and an inlet in fluid communication with the treating chamber, an ambient air cooling duct in thermal communication with the condenser, and having an outlet in fluid communication with the exhaust vent, a venturi having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the condenser, and an outlet in communication with the cooling duct, and a fan for flowing ambient air through the cooling duct, past the venturi, and out the exhaust vent. | 05-26-2016 |
