An improved sports equipment frame includes frame having a main vertical member including an upper end and a lower end, and a plurality of extensions projecting laterally from the main vertical member; and a bowed hanger extending from the main vertical member for draping an article of clothing, the hanger elevationally located between the upper and lower ends of the vertical member. In a preferred embodiment, the sports equipment rack includes pant leg restrainers for suppressing movement of the legs of pants during spray washing, and a headgear support plate having a generally flat upper surface that is larger than the cross sectional area of the vertical member. The sports equipment rack is lightweight, compact and portable, and is suitable for storing, organizing, washing and drying various types of sporting equipment and clothing.

The present disclosure describes a system for sanitizing footwear having a pan, two or more mats positioned in the pan, and a spraying system to spray disinfectant directly on one of the mats. One of the mats is an absorbent mat, which may be a reusable mat, a disposable pad, or a plurality of disposable pads. The other mat is a heavy mat and has one or more cutouts. The heavy mat is positioned on top of the absorbent mat. The system for sanitizing footwear is a quick and easy way to sanitize the soles of footwear in an environment that cannot have moisture or the tracking of water.

A shoe dryer includes a working surface for drying shoes, with holes in communication with air venting means, and is characterized in that the dryer further comprises a hollow plastic case with hemispherical recesses provided for placing shoes while stepping onto the working surface, which is a latticed platform. Hot or warm air is vented from the bottom of the device onto the soles of the shoes through the lattice, and horizontal slits are provided over the entire bottom part of the hemispherical recesses for venting warm air onto the outer surface of the shoes. A tray for collecting meltwater under the platform. The meltwater is discharged either into the sewer system or outside, and the dryer further comprising means of heating the air vented from the outside, means of pumping the heated air into the case, and motion sensors which are able to detect shoes stepping onto the platform.

The boot hanger is designed to provide longevity support and functional use for boots or any other footwear. The utility device is created to hold boots on hooks while airflow penetrates the inner boot generating natural air circulation as a drying process. The inventive device has a hook block with two locking bolts for securing and fastening, attached by two outward-facing L-shaped levels.

Assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a panel; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to the panel, 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 air, for example, from a fan, passes into the inlets of the projections, through the internal passages, and out of the outlets to contact and dry the apparel mounted on the projections. The methods may include heating the air to enhance the drying. Projection modules that can be pivotally mounted to extend and retract into the panel are also disclosed. The retracted projection may be flush with the panel when not in use.

A smart oven includes a box body unit, a heating unit and a feed unit. The box body unit includes a box body that has a first inner wall surface, two second inner wall surfaces, two third inner wall surfaces, and a heating chamber having a chamber opening that faces downward. The heating unit includes a plurality of upper radiation heating lamps disposed above the chamber opening, and a plurality of outer radiation heating lamps disposed in proximity to the second and third inner wall surfaces. The feed unit includes a carrier platform that is movable relative to the box body between a material-placing position and a material-operating position, in which the carrier platform is distal from and closes the chamber opening, respectively.

A shoe treating apparatus having a cabinet including at least one storage space, a rotatable duct part disposed in an upper portion of the storage space and configured to rotate toward the interior of the storage space, a treatment part configured to provide treatment on a shoe, and a processor configured to control an operation of the rotatable duct part and electrically connected to the treatment part is provided. The processor may, based on detecting a shoe in the storage space, rotate the rotatable duct part toward the interior of the detected shoe and may control treatment on the detected shoe through the rotatable duct part after the rotatable duct part is rotated toward the interior of the detected shoe. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.
