After being dehumidified by 4, deodorized by the deodorizing device 35, it is heated again by the hot air generator 29 and circulated.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the dehumidifying device 3
Since 4 is provided to supply the dry warm air, the dry warm air can be supplied even when the humidity is high such as on a rainy day, and the shoes A and the like can be sufficiently dried. .

Further, since the deodorizing device 35 is provided in the duct 30, the discharged warm air can be reused as fresh warm air, and the heat efficiency of generating warm air can be improved.

Although the electric heater 29C is used as the warm air generator 29 in this embodiment, gas may be used as the heat source. Further, the warm air generator 29 and the warm air discharger 32 are configured by the separate electric motors 29A and 32A, but they may be configured to be operated by one electric motor.

[0027]

The present invention is as described above in detail, and it is possible to forcefully dry immediately by simply putting the shoes etc. that were previously wet in the lower leg box. Adults can live a comfortable and healthy life.
Further, in the present invention, the warm air discharged after drying the shoes etc. is reused, so that the thermal efficiency can be improved. Further, since the dehumidifying device is configured to dehumidify the outside air having a high humidity and the discharged warm air, it is possible to supply the dried warm air into each accommodation chamber. Then, by sending the warm air deodorized by the deodorizing device to each storage chamber, it is possible to reliably prevent the entire lower leg box from having a strange odor.
