ABSTRACT:
An improved clothes dryer includes a heated drying chamber, a drum mounted for rotation in the drying chamber to tumble articles of clothing, and a door which is opened to permit placement and removal of articles in the dryer and is closed during the drying process. The improvement is tumble-preventing means for positioning an article in the drying chamber for drying without tumbling. The tumble-preventing means includes a clothes bag for being trapped between the dryer door and the drying chamber for restraining in the drying chamber the article to be dried. The clothes bag positions the article at a height within the drying chamber sufficient to prevent rotation-causing contact between the article and the rotating drum. A locking clip is located outside of the dryer for being attached to the clothes bag. The locking clip prevents the clothes bag from being dislodged by rotation of the drum from its trapped condition between the dryer door and drying chamber during the drying process.
