Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a dryer for drying and processing shoe-like bodies such as leather shoes, rubber shoes, ski shoes, footwear, safety shoes, and the like. And a nozzle that is insertable into the inside of the shoe-like body through the opening of the shoe-like body and that supplies the dry air generated by the dry air generating means toward the inside of the shoe-like body. The present invention relates to a dryer for shoe-like bodies.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a dryer for this kind of shoe-like body, [1] the nozzle is composed of a straight pipe that can be inserted into the inside of the shoe-like body through the opening of the shoe-like body, and , The drying air generating means was installed upright in a casing having the interior (for example, JP-A-64
-22236 publication).

[2] The nozzle is composed of a tapered hot air supply table whose tip side can be inserted into the inside of the shoe-like body through an opening of the shoe-like body, and the tapered nozzle serves as the dry air generating means. The casing is internally mounted so that it can be fixed in position (for example, JP-A-64-22236).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the conventional dryer for shoe-like body according to the above [1], the shoe-like body is dried while being locked by the pipe nozzle, and at this time, only the tip of the pipe nozzle is used for the shoe. Since it only contacts a part of the inner surface of the body, the hot air concentrates only on a part of the shoe, which causes unevenness in drying.

Also, in order to support shoes of various sizes, the diameter of the pipe nozzle must be made small, and therefore the stability of the shoe attachment to the nozzle is poor, and in this respect as well, the intended drying is not possible. In addition to being difficult to do, it is unavoidable that a large load is concentrated on the contact part of the shoe-like body for a long time until the shoe-like body dries, and as a result, the shape of the shoe-like body collapses at the contact point. There was also the problem of inviting.

And, in the conventional shoe-like body dryer described in [2] above,
Since the nozzle has a tapered shape, the shoe-like body can be attached to the nozzle in a stable posture regardless of the size of the shoe-like body, and the shoe-like body can be dried as expected. It is useful because it is easy to apply.

However, in the conventional structure having the tapered nozzle, the widened portion of the nozzle contacts the opening of the shoe-like body to stabilize the posture of the shoe-like body with respect to the nozzle. Therefore, the opening of the shoe which has become wet and soft remains in a deformed posture in which the shoe is in contact with the nozzle for a long time, which also leaves a problem that the shape is likely to be lost.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to carry out a drying process while holding the shoe-like body stably without losing its shape by simply modifying the nozzle.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The technical means of the present invention taken to achieve the above object are:
A dry air generating means and a nozzle that can be inserted into the inside of the shoe-like body through the opening of the shoe-like body and that supplies the dry air generated by the dry air-generating means toward the inside of the shoe-like body. In the dryer for shoe-like body provided, while the nozzle is configured to be positionally fixable with respect to the casing containing the dry air generating means, the outer surface of the nozzle is configured in a shape along the inner surface of the shoe-like body, And, a nozzle portion at a position facing the inner surface of the shoe sole of the shoe-like body is provided with an abutting surface that abuts in a posture along the inner surface of the shoe sole. That is, a gap is provided to allow the flow of dry gas.

Further, the second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the nozzle is attached to the casing provided with the dry air generating means so as to be changeable in posture.

Further, the third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle for forming a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle and the inner surface of the shoe-like body.

Furthermore, in the fourth aspect of the present invention, the nozzle is provided with a posture stabilizer that contacts the inner surface of the shoe-like body and holds the shoe-like body in a stretched state or a state close thereto. It is characterized by

[Action]

a. Since the nozzle inserted into the shoe-like body is configured so that its posture can be fixed with respect to the casing containing the dry air generating means, the shoe-like body can be held in a state of being floated from the ground by the nozzle. Therefore, it is easy to avoid that the supply gas for drying escapes from the shoe opening without sufficiently contacting the shoe-like body and that the heat of the drying gas is taken to the ground side. Therefore, the drying efficiency can be improved as compared with the case where the shoe-like body is dried while being placed on the ground.

b. When the shoe-like body is covered with the nozzle and is dried in the locked state, the outer surface of the nozzle is formed into a shape along the inner surface of the shoe-like body, and a wide contact surface that abuts in a posture along the inner surface of the shoe sole. Since the contact area between the outer surface of the nozzle and the inner surface of the shoe-like body and the maximum contact range are large, the entire shoe-like body is deformed most with the local load concentration being extremely small. Increase the contact area to the inner surface of the difficult sole,
It can be stably retained.

c. The wide abutment surface that abuts along the inner surface of the shoe sole,
Since there is a gap between the bottom surface of the shoe-like body and the passage of dry gas, the contact area of the shoe-like body with the inner surface of the shoe sole is sufficiently large, but the contact area of the nozzle is also in contact. By allowing the drying gas to flow, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of uneven drying in this portion.

[Effect of device]

Therefore, by simply modifying the outer surface shape of the nozzle, the shoe-like body covered by the nozzle can be stably retained and retained without falling off, and the shoe-like body retained and retained can be retained. It has become possible to efficiently carry out the drying treatment in a state in which there is no unevenness in drying or shape loss, or very little.

Further, as in the above-mentioned second aspect, when the posture of the nozzle is freely changeable with respect to the casing, the dry posture of the shoe-like body can be freely changed according to the type of the shoe-like body. There is an effect that can be.

Further, when the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle is provided with a protrusion for forming a gap between the outer surface of the nozzle and the inner surface of the shoe-like body, the drying supplied from the nozzle is performed. Since the wind can efficiently flow along the entire inner surface of the shoe-like body, there is an effect that the drying efficiency of the shoe-like body can be improved.

Furthermore, when the posture stabilizer is provided in the nozzle as in the fourth aspect, the variation of the opening size that varies depending on the type of the shoe-like body is absorbed to keep the shoe-like body stable at all times. There is an effect that it can be locked and held.
