Drying device and methods of making and using the same
The invention is directed to a drying device comprising a base with arms adjustably attached to each end. The arms each include an internal spring that allows the arms to adapt to a wide variety of dryers of different shapes, sizes, and models. The distal end of each arm also includes an attachment that is sized and shaped to fit into the interior of an item of footwear. Each attachment includes a plurality of apertures that promote air flow into the interior of the footwear when in use. In this way, the footwear remains compressed on the walls of the drying device. After the drying cycle has been completed, the footwear is dried on the exterior and interior surface.
High-speed drying unit for locker
A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls and at least one compartment defined between the upstanding sidewalls. A drying compartment includes an upper and lower horizontal panels, at least one of the upper and lower panels being hollow and extending at least partially between the sidewalls of the locker. A pair of compartment sidewalls are connected to the panels, at least one of the compartment sidewalls being in fluid communication with the at least one hollow upper and lower panels. A perforated rear panel is connected to the compartment sidewalls and the upper and lower panels and is in fluid communication with an interior of the drying compartment. At least one fan is disposed in one of the compartment sidewalls, wherein the fan draws air from the at least one hollow upper and lower panels, directs it into the interior of the drying compartment, and the air is exhausted from the compartment though the perforated rear panel.
