ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a clothes dryer, particularly to one easy to use, taking a small space for storing away owing to a small size after collapsed.
Drying washed wet clothes equipment is usually installed in a balcony outside a room of a house, an apartment, or a condominium, owning to the space limited. But if the weather is bad and rainy, washed wet clothes may not be able to hang outside a room, and have to be hung inside a room. Then the time needed for wet clothes to dry out may be prolonged to cause various inconveniences. In addition, if wet clothes are hung in a room comparatively for a long time, the moisture in the room may be thick and produce odor, bad to smell. Although clothes dryers have been made, they are always too large to be used in common houses or apartments. Besides, clothes dried in the dryers form a large mass mixing with one another, having many wrinkles.
