ABSTRACT:
An improved washing machine lint trap, of the type connected to the discharge hose, is characterized by a tube-like structure having an expandable perforated side wall which, when an excess of lint accumulates, expands to enlarge the perforations through which wash water flows, thereby to allow extended use and prevent clogging. Preferred embodimens are made of an expandable tubular mesh, most preferably with diamond-shaped perforations. The mesh is preferably of a color which contrasts with lint to facilitate visual ascertainment of the extent of filling.
