A highly portable, self-contained, multiple-item drying system that directs an antibacterial warmed air flow stream through a series of separate flexible, expandable, conduits (hoses) to provide an efficient, inexpensive, uncomplicated drying, sanitizing, deodorizing, and heating apparatus.

The present invention provides methods and systems for a portable modular drying device that includes a distributing manifold for receiving a blower device that distributes air through the device, and at least one drying manifold having a first end, a second end, and at least one opening between the first end and the second end for distributing the drying air selectively secured to the distributing manifold. The device further includes at least one drying hose or glove tube selectively secured to the at least one opening of the at least one drying manifold.

A clothing treatment apparatus is disclosed. The clothing treatment apparatus includes a first body detachably mounted on a wall, a second body rotatably or extendably provided at the first body to define a space for accommodating clothes, a rack provided at the first body or the second body, on which clothes are hung, and a hot air supply provided in the first body to supply hot air to clothes hung on the rack. The clothing treatment apparatus, mountable on a wall, enables efficient use of the clothing treatment space.

A washing machine having a washed laundry/garment treatment system. The washing machine comprises a rotatable drum, a soap/laundry dispenser, a water supply flow valve, an ozone generator and a control panel for controlling operation of the rotatable drum, the soap/laundry dispenser, the water supply flow valve, and the ozone generator. The laundry/garment treatment system comprises a source of an additive/treating composition to be added a washing machine without any laundry/garments contained therein, and the source of the additive/treating composition is connected to the washing machine to supply a quantity of additive/treating composition thereto for mixing with water and formation of a treatment mixture. A circulating pump is connected to the washing machine for pumping the treatment mixture into a treatment holding tank. A mixture feed valve controls the flow of treatment mixture from the treatment holding tank back into the washing machine for treating the laundry/garments, following washing thereof.

A steam treatment system (10) for textiles can include a detachable hanger (14) which is removably attachable to a steam unit (12). The steam unit (12) can include a vaporizing element (16) which is operatively connectable to a water source (18) and is designed to produce steam. A steam outlet (20) with a shut-off valve (22) can also be part of the steam unit (12). The detachable hanger (14) can be configured to support an article of textile such as a shirt, suit, dress, slacks, towel or the like. More particularly, the hanger (14) can include a support body enclosing a steam chamber (24) and a steam inlet (26) which is removably attachable to the steam outlet (20) of the steam unit (12). In this manner the detachable hanger (14) can be removably coupled to the steam unit (12) to allow steam to fill the hanger (14). The support body can also include a plurality of steam vents or apertures (30) which are oriented to transmit steam from the steam chamber (24) to the article of textile supported thereon. Such a steam treatment system (10) can find effective application in homes and service oriented businesses such as hotels and gyms.

A shoulder pad dryer and hanger is shown and described. The shoulder pad dryer and hanger includes a central support. The central support has a pair of cross supports connected opposite each other. The central support and the pair of cross supports are hollow such that air flows through the interior of the device. The central support and the pair of cross supports have apertures therein to allow air to pass therethrough. There is a hook located at the top of the central support. At the bottom of the central support there is a fan to force air through the device. There is a shoulder pad support system attached to each of the cross supports that will keep shoulder pads suspended from the device allowing air to flow beneath the pads.
