There is disclosed apparatus for use in pressing liquids from cloth goods, which apparatus includes a support having a porous surface upon which a batch of goods may be received, a concave pressure vessel having a flexible membrane across its open end to form a pressure chamber therein, and means supporting the vessel with the membrane facing the surface and for movement toward and away from the surface, so that, when the vessel and membrane have been moved to and locked in a position over the batch, water under pressure may be supplied from pump means and through conduit means connecting with the vessel to press liquid from a batch of goods on the surface, and, following pressing of the first mentioned batch into a cake and as the vessel and membrane are raised to permit removal of the cake from the surface, suction may be applied to the pressure vessel to remove water therefrom and withdraw the membrane to a position in which it is adapted to fit over another batch of goods on the surface.

There is disclosed a tumble dryer wherein the space between a housing and a drum mounted within the housing for rotation about a generally horizontal axis is separated intermediate the ends of the drum into one portion on one side and another portion on the other side of the portion, and heated air is circulated from an inlet to the one space portion into the drum and out the drum into an outlet from the other space portion. There are also disclosed alternate embodiments of means for separating the space including a plastic ring having an inner diameter closely surrounding the drum and an outer portion carried by a wall of the housing and received within an annular recess of the wall.

A wholly automatic commercial laundry in which soiled laundry is automatically routed to available washing machines, is automatically unloaded, conveyed, and loaded into one of several dryers which is available, or is conveyed directly to a finishing station when drying is not required. A unique programmable selector permits selecting any of several preprogrammed washingcycles, and modifying these cycles in accordance with the laundry to be washed. The selector also provides the necessary information for routing of the batches of laundry from the washing machines to the dryers, for selecting one of several drying cycles, and for routing the laundry to a desired finishing station.

There is disclosed apparatus for use in extracting liquid from cloth or other water-absorbing goods wherein the goods are contained within a perforated drum rotatably mounted in an outer housing. Circumferentially spaced, essentially rigid, hollow preforms having parts therein extend lengthwise of the inner side of the drum, and bellows are connected to the inner side of the drum each to cover a preform. Fluid pressure is selectively supplied to the ribs to expand the bellows or withdrawn from the ribs to radially collapse the bellows onto the preforms.

There are disclosed alternate embodiments of a top transfer type continuous batch washing machine each comprising an inner housing made up of cylindrically shaped drums having inlets and outlets in their end walls connected to one another, and an outer housing having walls in its lower portion to form individual bath sections in which the lower portions of perforated outer walls of the drums are suspended. Scoops within the drums enable the drums to oscillate or rotate in one directional sense to permit the circulation of liquid through the goods and rotate in the opposite directional sense to transfer the goods through the outlet and into the inlet of the adjacent drum.

There is disclosed a tumble dryer wherein the drum in which the goods are to be tumbled has perforations formed in its cylindrical wall at opposite sides of an imperforate annular portion, and a means is proved for circulating heated air into the drum through the perforations on one side of the annular portion, and then axially through the drum and thus the goods, and then radially out of the drum through the perforations on the other side of the imperforate annular portion. Melted plastic articles which may be co-mingled in the batch of goods to be dried are collected on a heat sink which comprises strips including a metal body of high thermal capacity and heat conductivity removably secured to the inner surface of the annular imperforate portion of the drum.
