Title: Clothes dryer filter and exhaust system

Abstract: A portable filter enclosure is connected to the exhaust outlet for a clothes dryer. The enclosure includes a multiple stage successive filter screen arrangement for removing entrained particles or lint from the air stream from the dryer. The enclosure is coupled through a flexible coupling to the exhaust outlet of the dryer to permit the exhausted heat to be directed at will to any part of the room or rooms near the dryer. Further included is a louvered arrangement in the outlet of the enclosure which permits further adjustment of the air stream. The outlet of the enclosure has a shape which is adapted to allow for connection of a hand-held drying tool or the like which may then be connected to utilize the output of the warm air from the dryer.
