DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shoe dryer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a wet shoe is to be dried, the shoe is placed near a heater such as a stove or a heater, especially in the winter season. Even if it is placed near a heater, it takes a long time for the inside of shoes with deep bottom, such as boots, to dry.

[0003] The present applicant has paid attention to the above-mentioned problems, and has invented a revolutionary shoe dryer with extremely high commercial value that can quickly and efficiently dry the inside of wet shoes.

[0004]

The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0005] A shoe dryer for drying shoes 1, comprising:
Has a base body 3 provided with a protrusion 2 which is in contact with or close to the inner bottom surface 1b of the shoe 1 when fitted to the foot insertion opening 1a of the shoe 1; The present invention relates to a shoe dryer characterized in that a part 4 is formed.

Further, in the shoe dryer according to the first aspect,
The present invention relates to a shoe dryer characterized in that a plurality of the protrusions 2 are provided.

Further, in the shoe dryer according to any one of claims 1 and 2, the base 3 is provided with a suction portion 5 for sucking warm air A in an upper part of the room R, and the suction portion 5 sucks the warm air A. The present invention relates to a shoe dryer characterized in that the heated warm air A is supplied from the warm air supply section 4 of the protrusion 2.

[0008]

According to the present invention, when the shoe 1 is fitted to the protrusion 2 in use, the inside of the shoe 1 is dried by the warm air supplied from the warm air supply section 4 of the protrusion 2. Is

Therefore, according to the present invention, the inside of the shoe 1 can be dried quickly and efficiently only by fitting the wet shoe 1 to the protruding body 2.

As described above, the present invention is an epoch-making one having extremely high commercial value.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings illustrate one embodiment of the present invention and will be described below.

Reference numeral R denotes a room where the present embodiment is installed, and W denotes a wall.

In this embodiment, a wet shoe 1 is dried by supplying warm air A. Shoe 1 to be dried
Of course, it is not limited to the boots illustrated in the present embodiment.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a rectangular column-shaped support member 6 erected at the left and right positions,
A base member 3 including a rectangular tubular erection member 7 erected in multiple stages (four stages) is provided between the support members 6, and the support members 6 and the insides 6a of the erection members 7 communicate with each other. It is configured such that the air A can be circulated by being provided in the state. The base 3 is mounted on the wall W in the room R by the mounting bracket 15.

A blower 8 (blower) is connected to each of the support members 6 and 7, and each of the blowers 8 is provided with a suction unit 5.

The suction section 5 is constituted by connecting a tubular body 9 to an intake section 8a of a blower 8, and an opening 9 of the tubular body 9 is provided.
a is extended to the upper part of the room R so that the warm air A staying in the upper part of the room R can be sucked.

Therefore, the warm air A in the upper part of the room R sucked by the suction unit 5 by the operation of the blower 8 is converted into the warm air A by the base 3.
Will flow inside.

Each of the erection members 7 is provided with six protrusions 2. In addition, the number of the protruding bodies 2 can be appropriately changed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the projection 2 has a diameter enough to fit the shoe 1 from the foot insertion opening 1a of the shoe 1, and the shoe 1 is fitted. In this case, the top portion is formed of a cylindrical member having a length in contact with the inner bottom surface 1b of the shoe 1, and the lower end opening 2a thereof is in communication with the through hole 7b formed in the upper surface of the erection member 7. The warm air A flowing through the inside 7 a of the erection member 7 passes through (ascends) inside the protruding body 2. Reference numeral 2c is a flange plate.

The protruding body 2 has a cap body 10 scattered with ventilation holes 10a screwed into its upper end opening 2b.
It is configured as a hot air supply unit 4 for supplying warm air A rising inside the protruding body 2 to the outside.

An air flow adjusting mechanism 11 is provided at a continuous portion between the protruding body 2 and the bridging member 7.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the air volume adjusting mechanism 11 includes a slide member 14 slidably provided between a pair of pedestals 12 disposed on the lower left and right positions of a flange plate 2c of the protruding member 2. This slide body 14 has a penetrating window
14a, the slide body 14 is slid in the front-rear direction (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4) to thereby move the pedestal 12a.
The area of the communication hole formed between the through hole 7a and the through window 14a can be varied to adjust the amount of hot air. Reference numeral 13 denotes a fastening bolt.

In this embodiment, the hot air supply section 4 of the projection 2 is provided.
Although the warm air A in the upper part of the room R is used via the suction unit 5 and the blower 8 as a means for obtaining warm air, warm air producing means such as a heater may be separately prepared.

Since the present embodiment is constructed as described above, when the shoe 1 is fitted on the protrusion 2 in use, the inside of the shoe 1 is heated by the warm air supplied from the warm air supply section 4 of the protrusion 2. Is dried. The unused portion is a portion in which the supply of the warm air A is stopped by the air volume adjusting mechanism 11.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the inside of the shoe 1 can be dried quickly and efficiently only by fitting the wet shoe 1 on the protruding body 2.

In the present embodiment, since the heat (remaining heat) staying in the upper part of the room R is used, the drying operation can be performed efficiently in this respect.
Since there is no need for a means for producing warm air such as a heater and the structure is simple, the cost is reduced and excellent mass productivity is achieved.
