ABSTRACT:
An improved washing machine lint strainer of the type to receive discharge from a hose is characterized by retractable strainer elements that are wiped clean of lint as they retract leaving the lint in one mass for easy removal without the necessity of manually picking out lint from small strainer holes. This strainer does not need to be discarded when it is totally full of lint and is thus reusable. Preferred embodiments consist of a set of two strainer components with parallel fingers forming spaces between each finger element. The 2 similar strainer components are placed on top of each other and touching with the spaces between the finger oriented to form a matrix of holes through both strainers that pass liquid and strain lint. The strainers are wiped free of lint as they are retracted to open the strainer box and the lint then falls off the strainer fingers and is thus left behind for easy disposal.
