A clothes dryer with a first bulkhead having an access opening and a first edge defining a front opening confronting the access opening. The clothes dryer has a composite seal located between the first bulkhead and the first edge which has a foam layer comprising memory foam and a low-friction layer having a coefficient of kinetic friction less than 0.3, with the low friction layer confronting the first edge.

Disclosed herein is a dryer having a cabinet, a drum provided inside the cabinet so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis, a rear support plate coupled to the rear of the drum to support the drum and the rear support plate having a hot air supplier configured to supply hot air toward an inner surface of the drum along a circumference of the drum, and a hot air duct configured to introduce air in a region adjacent to the rotation axis of the drum and to guide air to the hot air supplier through a heater disposed therein. With this structure, drying efficiency and stability can be improved.

An apparatus for use in the treatment of substrates with a solid particulate material, said apparatus comprising: (a) a housing having mounted therein a rotatably mounted drum (8) having an inner surface and an end wall; and (b) access means for introducing said substrates into said drum, wherein said drum comprises storage means (2) for storage of said solid particulate material and a plurality of flow paths to facilitate flow of said solid particulate material between said storage means and the interior of said drum (8), characterised in that: said drum (8) comprises a dispensing flow path (5) to facilitate flow of said solid particulate material from said storage means (2) to the interior of said drum (8), and a collecting flow path (6) to facilitate flow of said particulate material from the interior of said drum (8) to said storage means (2), wherein said dispensing flow path (5) and said collecting flow path (6) are different flow paths.

A laundry drying machine includes: a cabinet, a drum disposed inside the cabinet and configured to accommodate a target object, a driving unit configured to rotate the drum, and an electric field generator spaced apart from the drum and configured to generate an electric field inside the drum. The drum includes: a drum body having a cylindrical shape and accommodating the target object, a ground electrode that is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the drum body, and a support roller that is in contact with the outer circumferential surface and that is configured to, based on the drum body rotating, support the drum body in a direction of the ground electrode, and a shortest distance between a central axis of the support roller and the ground electrode is less than a sum of a diameter of the drum body and a radius of the support roller.

A frame of a laundry treatment apparatus includes a spring bearing beam, which includes a body with a strip-shape, a first connection structure is disposed on an upper side of the body, a second connection structure is disposed on a lower side of the body, and the body is fixedly connected with a reinforcing member arranged on the frame via the first connection structure and/or the second connection structure. Preferably, the first connection structure and the second connection structure are symmetrically disposed on the upper side and the lower side of the body. A left side and a right side of the spring bearing beam are used interchangeably, and in an actual assembly process, there is no need to differentiate between the left and the right positions of the spring bearing beam, and only a back side and a front side of the bearing beam need differentiation.
