ABSTRACT:
A fluid additive dispenser is provided for a clothes dryer which has a reservoir for storing a quantity of liquid additive, a body of porous material acting as a wick and having a first surface exposed to the tumbling clothes load within the dryer and a second surface for receiving the fluid additive, a conduit connecting the reservoir with the second surface of the material and a valve interposed within the conduit which is selectably operable to deliver a predetermined quantity of liquid to the second surface of the porous material. The reservoir has a horizontal cross section greater than the horizontal cross section of the conduit and is positioned above the valve to provide a relatively constant fluid head to the valve to assist in the accurate metering of the fluid through the valve. The porous material is held in a holder which is mounted to a fixed rear bulkhead of the drum.
