Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Regarding the drying device of the present invention, the purpose thereof is to provide a drying device suitable for drying relatively small items such as shoes, gloves, handkerchiefs, and towels.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body with an internal hollow shape, and a warm air generating device consisting of a motor 2, a fan 3, and a heating element 4 is located in the lower part of the hollow part 1a standing upright in the center of the upper surface and in the body 1. A plurality of drying racks 5 are housed inside the upper part 1b of the central hollow part 1a.

A plurality of hot air discharge tubes 6 are erected on the periphery of the upper surface of the main body 1, and a large number of small hole-shaped hot air discharge tubes 7 are provided at the upper end of the discharge tubes 6.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an intake port provided at the upper end of the hollow portion 1a, and the fan 3
As a result of the operation, air is taken in through the intake port 8, and this air is turned into hot air by the heating element 4 and exits from the hot air discharge section 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a substantially U-shaped handle having both ends rotatably supported on the upper part 1b of the hollow part 1a.

The shaft support 10 of the handle 9 is located at a higher position than the center of gravity of the entire drying device.

According to the above configuration, since the handle 9 is provided in the upper part 1b of the hollow part 1a, by having this handle 9, the device can be transported and installed without being tilted in either the left/right or front/back direction. be done.

In particular, such an effect is extremely easy to obtain from the basic configuration in which the hollow portion 1a is located in the center and there are a plurality of hot air discharge tubes 6 surrounding the hollow portion 1a.

FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 show other embodiments of the present invention, in which the hollow portion 1a is configured to be divisible into an upper portion 1b and a lower portion 1C.

That is, the upper part 1b and the lower part 1C are fitted together at their cylindrical portions and then secured with screws 11.

Note that this split structure can be configured as a generally known bayonet connection.

12 is a plurality of drying bodies housed in the upper part 1b;
If necessary, it can be expanded radially in a substantially horizontal direction.

This upper part 1b has the above-mentioned handle 9.

In the above configuration, if the upper part 1b and the lower part 1C are separated, the upper part 1b can function as a normal clothes dryer using the clothes drying body 12 by hooking the handle 9 on a hook or the like. .

In addition, when the drying rack 12 is housed in the upper part 1b as shown in FIG. 2, small items A such as shoes and gloves can be held in the hot air discharge cylinder 6 and dried. Then, if you pull out the drying rack 12 outward, small items B such as handkerchiefs and towels can be stored.
can be dried.

As described above, according to the present invention, a drying body that can be expanded radially in a substantially horizontal direction is housed in the upper part of the hollow part, so that small items such as towels and handkerchiefs can be easily dried. equipment can be provided.
