The disclosure relates to a dryer locker system for us with gear such as firefighting turnout gear including a housing having an interior region defined by a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a bottom wall, and a rear wall. An air blower is disposed on the bottom wall. An air duct is connected to an outlet of the air blower, such that the air blower supplies an air flow to the air duct. A jacket holder is rigidly mounted to the rear wall and projects into the interior region. The jacket holder is adapted to receive the air flow from the air duct. A pants holder is also rigidly mounted to the rear wall and projects into the interior region. The pants holder is also adapted to receive the air flow from the air duct.

Disclosed herein is a novel medical implement drying apparatus and a method for holding and drying certain medical implements during a reprocessing sequence. This is accomplished by forcing air through the apparatus. The apparatus and method disclosed herein is useful for many medical implements having a hollow casing. The medical implement drying apparatus is particularly well suited for use with a drying cabinet containing one or more of the medical implements during the drying process which will facilitate drying of the exterior of each medical implement, while the disclosed apparatus removes water and water vapor from the interior of each medical implement. Specialized holders, racks, and drying gas pumping systems are also disclosed.

The present application provides a cap drying apparatus and a method for drying a cap. The apparatus includes a base console having an inlet and a fan. The inlet receives an air stream from outside of the base console. The apparatus also includes an air supply conduit that is fluidly connected to the inlet and receives the air stream via operation of the fan. The apparatus further includes a mounting head having a distribution chamber and an outer portion comprising a plurality of air channels. The distribution chamber receives the air stream from the air supply conduit and disperses the air stream through the air channels and out of the mounting head. A cap securely fits on the outer surface of the mounting head, and the air stream dispersed through the air channels dries the cap.

Portable assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a housing; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to or inserted into the housing, the projections each having an inlet, an outlet, an internal passage communicating the inlet to the outlet, and the projections can be oriented in a position adapted to receive the apparel; and a source of air having an outlet in fluid communication with the inlets of the projections. The assemblies may include a handle or strap for transporting the assemblies. The air may be provided by a fan or blower, and may be heated. The projections can be pivotally mounted in different directions and extend and retract into the housing. The retracted projection may be flush with the surface of the housing when not in use.

A portable glove drying apparatus having a housing defining an inner chamber containing a fan and power source, as well as a sized outlet for receiving a golf glove. A flexible but resilient loop is disposed across the sized outlet and can be inserted in a golf glove to support and expand the golf glove from its inside. The fan can generate air flow that is directed into a base opening of the glove and out of ventilation holes of the golf glove. The air flow acts to improve evaporation of moisture contained on or in the golf glove and thereby promotes rapid drying of the golf glove.

An endoscope storage cabinet includes a plurality of spaced endoscope hangers, each having a longitudinal support arm pivotably mounted at a wall of the cabinet and articulate downward toward the front of the cabinet. A valve block is supported at the upper end of each support arm and includes at least one air flow channel communicating with an air channel of the support arm. An endoscope valve interface on the valve block connects to at least one air orifice on the valve block and at least one valve of an endoscope control body and is configured to suspend the endoscope in spaced relation to other supported endoscopes and permit filtered air to flow through at least one internal channel of the endoscope to facilitate drying.

A system, method, and apparatus for drying a hydration system comprises an airflow apparatus comprising a case, a heating element, a fan, a cap for a hydration bladder cap comprising a fluidic connection to bladder and air flow apparatus, a conduit connected to cap and airflow apparatus, conduit further comprising an exhaust vent, a clip connected to a mouthpiece associated with bladder wherein airflow apparatus produces airflow through bladder and mouthpiece, and a rack configured to hold hydration bladder while airflow flow through bladder and mouthpiece.

A bag drying apparatus. The bag drying apparatus includes a panel having a panel slot with an open first end that is accessible from a first end of the panel. The panel is adapted to couple with a board with a board slot having an open first end accessible from a second end of the board. When the panel and board are interlocked, the bag drying apparatus is configured to receive and to maintain an inverted bag in an open position. In one embodiment, the bag drying apparatus is modular, allowing the selective configuration and customization of panels and boards.

Sports equipment racks of the present disclosure may include an enclosure having odor mitigating features. Sports equipment racks may include a drip pan for retaining liquid that may drip from associated wet sports equipment hanging on the rack. Sports equipment racks may include forced ventilation configured to draw air external from an associated enclosure.

An endoscope storage cabinet includes a plurality of spaced endoscope hangers, each having a longitudinal support arm pivotably mounted at a wall of the cabinet and articulate downward toward the front of the cabinet. A valve block is supported at the upper end of each support arm and includes at least one air flow channel communicating with an air channel of the support arm. An endoscope valve interface on the valve block connects to at least one air orifice on the valve block and at least one valve of an endoscope control body and is configured to suspend the endoscope in spaced relation to other supported endoscopes and permit filtered air to flow through at least one internal channel of the endoscope to facilitate drying.
