- 14. The drying rack according to claim 11, wherein said outer casing is of a wire netting.
- 15. The drying rack according to claim 11, wherein said outer casing has at least two parts connected to one another in an articulated manner.
- 16. The drying rack according to claim 11, wherein said outer casing has at least two parts pivotably connected to one another.
- 17. The drying rack according to claim 15, wherein said at least two parts completely enclose said surfaces in said operating state.
- 18. A laundry dryer, comprising:
a rotatable drum with a filling orifice issuing into said drum, said drum having a front bearing plate with a loading orifice and plate fastening devices; a door connected to said bearing plate for closing at least one of said filling orifice and said loading orifice; and a drying rack having:
at least two air-permeable surfaces holding in a stationary manner within said drum a batch of laundry to be dried:
being disposed at a distance one above another in an operating state thereof; and having a front side defining an access orifice and a side defining at least one further access orifice; and rack fastening devices removably fastening said surfaces to said plate fastening devices and matching said plate fastening devices.
- 19. A laundry dryer, comprising:
a housing; a rotatable drum with a filling orifice issuing into said drum, said drum:
being rotatably connected to said housing; and having a front bearing plate with a loading orifice and plate fastening devices; a door connected to said housing for closing at least one of said filling orifice and said loading orifice; and a drying rack having:
at least two air-permeable surfaces holding in a stationary manner within said drum a batch of laundry to be dried:
being disposed at a distance one above another in an operating state thereof; and having a front side defining an access orifice and a side defining at least one further access orifice; and rack fastening devices removably fastening said surfaces to said plate fastening devices and corresponding with said plate fastening devices.
- 20. A laundry dryer drying rack, comprising:
at least two air-permeable surfaces for holding in a stationary manner a batch of laundry to be dried within a rotatable drum of a laundry dryer, said surfaces:
being disposed at a distance one above another in an operating state thereof; and having a front side defining an access orifice and a side defining at least one further access orifice; and fastening devices for removably fastening said surfaces to the laundry dryer.
- 21. A laundry dryer drying rack, comprising:
at least two air-permeable surfaces for holding in a stationary manner a batch of laundry to be dried within a rotatable drum of a laundry dryer, said surfaces:
being disposed at a distance one above another in an operating state thereof; and having a front side defining an access orifice and a side defining at least one further access orifice; at least one of said surfaces being connected in an articulated manner to another of said surfaces; fastening devices for removably fastening said surfaces to the laundry dryer; and an air-permeable self-supporting outer casing forming a closed netting shape along a circumferential surface corresponding to the laundry drum, said outer casing being connected to said surfaces.
