Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a shoe dryer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 It is preferable to dry these shoes, because if you put them on a rainy day, wash them, or leave them wet, the shoes will hurt, and if you wear wet shoes, you will feel uncomfortable. As a shoe drying device for drying the shoes, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-170464 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-101954, a device for blowing warm air heated by electric heat into the inside of the shoes to dry the shoes. It has been known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since there are various types of shoes such as short boots and boots, it is difficult to efficiently eject hot air into the shoe by directing the nozzle toward the inside of the shoe. In addition, it is convenient to carry a shoe drying device because the shoes are often wetted by rain when traveling, but the shoe drying device is large and inconvenient to carry. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a shoe dryer which can efficiently blow hot air by directing the nozzle toward the inside of the shoe and can be made small in size so as to be portable.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and achieve the above objects, and is provided with a box body having a lid at an opening on the upper surface, a nozzle that can be stored inside the box body, and a nozzle provided inside the box body. And a lid for rotatably mounting the lid on the inner surface of the lid, the lid being attached so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis provided at the edge of the opening of the box. Is provided substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and the nozzle is rotatably attached to the tip of a flexible bellows-shaped duct that is connected to a warm air generator and through which warm air passes. The tip of the is supported by a supporting tool which is slidably attached along a rail provided on the inner surface of the lid.

[0005]

[Action]

 The shoe dryer of the present invention is used as follows. That is, the shoe dryer is placed on the periphery of the shoe, the lid of the shoe dryer is opened to a substantially right angle, and the support is slid along the rail provided on the inner surface of the lid. Then, since the lid is opened at a substantially right angle, the support moves vertically. Therefore, the tip of the bellows-shaped duct supported by this support also moves vertically. After that, the nozzle rotatably attached to the tip of the bellows-shaped duct is rotated to direct the tip of the nozzle toward the entrance of the shoe.

As described above, when the support is moved up and down, the height of the nozzle is changed, and when the nozzle is rotated, the direction of the nozzle is changed. Therefore, the tip of the nozzle is directed toward the entrance of the shoe. You can Also, when the support is moved along the rail, the nozzle attached to the tip of the support exerts a force such that the nozzle hangs down due to gravity, so the support is supported at a certain position on the rail. .

Further, since the lid is supported by the support and the bellows-shaped duct, it is difficult to close the lid. If the lid is difficult to support, a stopper may be provided so that the lid can be supported at a substantially right angle. After the nozzle is directed toward the entrance of the shoe in this way, warm air is generated by the warm air generator, and this warm air is blown onto the shoe to dry it.

Next, when the shoes are dried, the warm air generator is stopped, the support is moved downward along the rail on the inner surface of the lid, the flexible bellows-like duct is contracted, and the nozzle is Put the support, bellows-shaped duct, and nozzle in the box, and then close the lid. In this way, since the nozzle and the bellows-shaped duct can be contracted and stored in this box, the box can be made small and convenient for carrying.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a side surface of a shoe drying device with a lid opened and a nozzle directed toward the shoe, and FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the front of the shoe drying apparatus shown in FIG.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a shoe dryer, which comprises a box body 2, a nozzle 3, and a warm air generator 4. The box body 2 has an opening at its upper surface to form an opening, and a lid 21 is provided in the opening so that the lid 21 can rotate around a rotation shaft 22 provided at the edge of the opening of the box body 2. It is attached. A rail 5 is provided on the inner surface of the lid 21 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotary shaft 22.

The nozzle 3 is rotatably attached to the tip of a bellows-shaped duct 6 which is connected to the warm air generator 4 and through which warm air passes. The warm air generator 4 is provided in the box 2 and is composed of a heater such as a nichrome wire and a fan. When the fan is operated, the warm air heated by the heater is generated. Is blown out from the nozzle 3 through the bellows-shaped duct 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a support tool. One end of the support tool 7 is slidably attached to the rail 5, and the other end of the support tool 7 locks the tip portion of the bellows-shaped duct 6. Therefore, when the support tool 7 is moved along the rail 5, the bellows-shaped duct 6 expands and contracts.

Next, a method of using the shoe dryer will be described. Place the shoe dryer 1 on the periphery of a wet shoe and open the lid 21 of the shoe dryer 1 until it is almost at a right angle. Next, the support 7 is moved up and down along the rails 5 provided on the inner surface of the lid 21 and the nozzle 3 is rotated to change the height and direction of the nozzle 3 so that the nozzle 3 is Adjust to face the entrance.

When the nozzle 3 faces the entrance of the shoe, the warm air generator 4 is operated to blow the warm air toward the shoe. Since the height and direction of the nozzle 3 can be changed in this way, the nozzle can be directed to the entrance of the shoe, and the shoe can be dried efficiently.

After the shoes have been dried, the warm air generator is stopped and the support 7 is moved in the vertical direction, or the nozzles are turned into the box 2 and the flag 21 is closed. It becomes a compact and the shoe drying device 1 can be easily carried. In this way, the shoe drying apparatus 1 can be easily carried, so it is convenient to take it with you when traveling.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 In the present invention, since the height and direction of the nozzle can be changed, it is possible to efficiently dry the shoe by directing the nozzle toward the entrance of the shoe. Also, this shoe dryer can be made compact because the nozzle, the support, the bellows-like duct, etc. can be housed in the box, and therefore it can be conveniently brought for travel. In this way, shoes can be dried efficiently and can be brought, which is extremely valuable.
