A shoe care device includes an inner cabinet, an air supply device that is configured to blow air to an accommodated space of the inner cabinet and includes a plurality of dehumidifying materials separate from one another, and a controller configured to control the air supply device. The air supply device includes a connection path configured to circulate air between an inlet and an outlet of the inner cabinet, and a regeneration path branched from the connection path and configured to guide air having passed through at least one of the dehumidifying materials to a portion of the air supply device other than the inlet. The controller is configured to control the air supply device to selectively open and close at least one of the connection path or the regeneration path based on whether or not at least one of the dehumidifying materials is heated.

An orientable seating device includes a seat, the orientation of which can be controlled to dynamically affect a desired of yaw, pitch and roll. The seating device can be used to reorient and/or to simulate motion for a seated person for use with video games, virtual reality headsets or goggles, land, water, air or space vehicle simulation, or wireless airborne drones, for example. The device includes a seat mounted on a carriage, which is received in a carriage pedestal. Within the pedestal, a drive wheel positioned under the carriage supports and rotates the carriage by driving an outer sphere-shaped surface of the carriage. The drive wheel can be reoriented around a vertical axis such that any combination of pitch and roll can be achieved by rotating the wheel against the sphere-shaped surface. Yaw can be controlled by a rotatable platform upon which the carriage pedestal can be mounted.

Shelf for evacuating water from wet footwear, and a footwear rack equipped therewith. The shelf comprises a gutter for channeling water, a front longitudinal footwear depositing surface along one side of the gutter and a back longitudinal footwear depositing surface along another side of the gutter. The shelf also comprises an evacuation aperture in a lowermost section of the gutter. The evacuation aperture defines a channel through the shelf.

A shoe care apparatus including a cabinet, a shoe care compartment inside the cabinet, a door coupled to the cabinet and configured to open and close the shoe care compartment, a supply duct formed on a first wall of the cabinet to supply air to the shoe care compartment, a shoe support device configured to communicate with the supply duct to receive the air from the supply duct and protruding from an inner surface of the first wall of the cabinet so that shoes are placeable in the shoe care compartment, and a sterilizer installed on a second wall of the cabinet or on the door and including an ultraviolet (UV) lamp to sterilize shoes placed in the shoe care compartment.

A shoe care apparatus may include a cabinet; a care chamber inside the cabinet; a machine room to supply air to the care chamber and including an inlet through which air is introducible and an outlet through which air is dischargeable, so as to allow air to circulate the care chamber and the machine room through a flow path. A recovery chamber may be configured to allow air from the care chamber to be guided to the inlet of the machine room and be introduced into the machine room. A fragrance emitter holder in the recover chamber may accommodate a fragrance emitter configured to add fragrance to the air from the care chamber that is guided through the recovery chamber, so that the air to which the fragrance is added by the fragrance emitter is supplied to the care chamber through the flow path.
