A lower end of the heat supply tube is mounted to the first base. The object support is mounted to an upper end of the heat supply tube. The heating device is configured to supply hot air to the heat supply tube.

Provided is a shoe care apparatus including a door capable of simplifying an assembly process while reducing material cost. The shoe care apparatus includes: a main body; a care room provided inside the main body and accommodating shoes; and a door opening and closing the care room, wherein the door includes: a front panel forming a front surface of the door, and including a side trim provided on a rear surface of the front panel or a magnet provided on the rear surface of the front panel; a rear body forming a rear surface of the door; and a reinforcement plate positioned between the front panel and the rear body, and detachably coupled with the front panel, and the reinforcement plate includes: a recess portion accommodating at least one portion of the side trim; and a magnet coupling portion coupled with the magnet by a magnetic force of the magnet, and arranged in parallel to the recess portion.

A shoe care apparatus includes a main body, a care room provided in the main body and configured to accommodate shoes, a machine room in the main body and configured to accommodate a heat pump device including an evaporator and a condenser, and a blower fan configured to allow air circulating through the care room and the machine room to be blown. The show care apparatus further includes a first circulation passage through which air discharged from the care room is supplied to the care room by passing through the evaporator and the condenser and a second circulation passage through which air discharged from the care room is supplied to the care room by passing through the evaporator and bypassing the condenser. The shoe care apparatus also including a first damper configured to open and close the second circulation passage.

A shoe care apparatus includes a case having a first surface having a first length extending along a first direction and a second surface having a second length extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second length being shorter than the first length. The shoe care apparatus includes a shoe support device to receive heated air from a supply port on the case and is formed to be attachable to and detachable from an inner surface of the side wall of the case, and a side duct disposed outside of the side wall of the case in the second direction and connectable to the supply port, wherein the shoe support device includes a support frame formed to protrude along the first direction from a side surface of the shoe care compartment while the support frame is mounted on the shoe care compartment.

A shoe care device processes shoes by circulating air. The shoe care device includes an inner cabinet that has an accommodation space configured to accommodate shoes therein, an inlet defined at a first portion of the accommodation space and configured to supply air to the accommodation space, and an outlet defined at a second portion of the accommodation space and configured to suction air from the accommodation space. The shoe care device includes an air supplier that is disposed at the lower portion of the inner cabinet and includes a connection path configured to provide air to the accommodation space to circulate the air between the inlet and the outlet, and a dehumidifying material disposed at the connection path. The dehumidifying material is disposed at an upper end of the air supplier, and an upper surface of the dehumidifying material is exposed through a bottom of the inner cabinet.

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.

An improved drying stand is provided for drying clothing articles over a source of hot air. The drying stand includes a housing, which has a base with a plurality of holes in connection with the source of hot air, and sidewalls, defining a chamber. Conduits are connected to the openings in the base. The conduits may include a cap connected to the end, such that hot air flows through the openings in the base, through the conduits, and then is directed outwardly by the caps. The caps may serve both to direct hot air outwardly and to prevent any debris, such as dirty water, mud, dirt, etc. from falling out of the chamber through the conduits. In this manner, the drying stand provides a place for the clothing articles to dry and keeps the surrounding surfaces clean.

A shoe care apparatus including a cabinet forming a care chamber and including a supply port; a supply duct provided to supply air to the care chamber through the supply port; a supporter rail; and a supporter to support a shoe, and being detachably mountable to the supporter rail in the care chamber. The supporter rail and supporter may be configured so that the supply port is opened in response to the supporter being mounted to the supporter rail, and the supporter receives the air supplied through the supply port, and the supply port is closed in response to the supporter being separated from the supporter rail.

An electronic device for controlling a flow path according to deodorization, dehumidification, or sterilization of clothes or shoes by applying a separated chamber structure, and an operation method thereof. The electronic device may control an internal damper so that in a deodorization mode, the internal damper operates in a first state to form independent flow paths in an upper chamber and a lower chamber and, in a dehumidification mode, the internal damper operates in a second state for a preset time to form a single flow path in the upper chamber and the lower chamber and, after the preset time elapses, operate in the first state to form independent flow paths in the upper chamber and the lower chamber.

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.
