ABSTRACT:
A transition duct assembly for a dryer air handling system, connecting a lint duct assembly to a blower housing includes two duct pieces assembled together with locking tabs and a tongue and groove arrangement at the longitudinal seams of the two duct pieces, a sealing ring and spring clip at the transition duct assembly/blower housing interface, and a simple one screw attachment arrangement at the transition duct assembly/lint duct assembly interface. The transition duct assembly provides an air sealed assembly which is accessible to assemble and disassemble from behind the front panels of the appliance, prevents sound and vibration transmission through the transition duct assembly, and minimizes hand tool work to assemble or disassemble the transition duct and the air handling system.
