ABSTRACT:
A lint remover 10 is provided for removing lint from an air exhaust of a clothes dryer D. An enclosure 20 includes an inflow tube 60 delivering water into the enclosure 20. The inflow tube 60 is coupled to a clothes washer W used water discharge. The enclosure 20 includes a suction passage 80 which is oriented to utilize gravity to suck water within the enclosure 20 out through the suction passage 80, through an outflow tube 90 and into a water drainage system WD. The suction passage 80 is configured to always provide a pool P with a surface S within the enclosure 20. An inlet duct 40 directs dryer D exhaust air from the dryer D into the enclosure 20. An inlet vane 32 directs this dryer D exhaust air against the surface S of the pool P, causing lint within the dryer D exhaust air to be deposited within the pool P. An outlet duct 50 draws the dryer D exhaust air out of the enclosure 20. The pool P is refreshed with replacement water within the enclosure 20 every time the washer W drains water. Thus, the dryer D is always provided with a relatively clean surface S of water for deposition of lint thereinto.
