A footwear dryer is disclosed. The footwear dryer includes a ducted portion, a heating element positioned within the ducted portion that heats air passing over the heating element, a forced air generation device positioned within the ducted portion and oriented to force air through the ducted portion and over the heating element, and a power source configured to provide 12 volts or less and to power to the forced air generation device.

An improved dryer exhaust vent assembly for a clothes dryer is disclosed. The assembly includes an exhaust pipe having a variety of features on its external surface that are constructed and arranged to provide a more secured and easier to obtain engagement with commercially available or customized vent tubing. The assembly may also utilize adjustable band clamps or lever actuated collar clamps to further secure engagement of the vent tubing to the exhaust pipe.

A drying system embodying a method and glove dryer mountable to an outlet of an already-running furnace when in use so as to safely and efficiently dry out articles, and that dissembles into stackable elements when stored is provided. The glove dryer may include a base providing a plurality of detachable nozzles. The base may form a volumetric enclosure for both safely mounting the outlet of an already-running furnace as well as for storage purposes. The plurality of detachable nozzles may be stacked in a nest configuration when removed from the base for storing in the volumetric enclosure. When in use, the plurality of detachable nozzles each provide a plurality of holes through which heated air from the outlet reaches to tops of articles of clothing slidably received thereon.

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.

A rugged, high-power system for quickly drying a garment, such as a wet suit, that can be easily collapsed for storage or transport. The garment drying system may include a base and a vertical support member for suspending a garment above the base. The base may include a blower and one or more vent pipes for directing air from the blower into an opening of the garment. The height of the vertical support member may be adjustable to accommodate garments of various sizes. The vertical support member may be detached from the base to facilitate storage and transport. The system accommodates a high-power blower for drying a garment quickly, yet avoids the use of long or complex arrangements of air ducts to direct air throughout the garment.

A portable hunting and camping kit includes a rechargeable power assembly and a drying assembly. The rechargeable power assembly includes solar panels and a power unit, wherein the power unit includes a battery and power outlets detachably connectable to powered devices for charging or operation. The drying assembly includes a pair of drying units insertable into wet or damp objects, a control unit, a pair of cables connecting the pair of drying units to the control unit, and a power cable detachably connecting the control unit to one of the power outlets.

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 tool designed to efficiently dry collapsible water containers by attaching to a blow dryer addressing the challenge of slow and ineffective drying due to containers' narrow openings. This attachment comprises a narrow end to fit into the container's opening, a threaded section for secure attachment, and a flared opening to direct airflow from a blow dryer. Additionally, small openings around the narrow end disperse airflow into the container, while larger openings at the bottom disperse airflow across the container's base. The attachment, made from heat-resistant materials like plastic is lightweight and portable. It accommodates various blow dryer nozzle sizes and creates a tight seal to prevent air leakage. The side vents along the attachment efficiently disperse moist air out of the container. It is compatible with blow dryers featuring cool or cold airflow settings, and expedites the drying process, ensuring thorough drying and preventing issues like mold growth.
