  • Patent number: 4183323
    Abstract: Dryer apparatus for drying and fluffing the coating of a pet characterized by a cabinet having one or more chambers with removable partitions and a perforated false bottom so as to allow circulation of warm air upwardly past the pet to dry and fluff the pet's coating. The cabinet has a warm air inlet near its bottom and connected below the perforated false bottom for supplying the warm air; and a exhaust air outlet near its top for discharging the moist air that has been circulated past the pet. The transparent window is disposed in one of the walls of each of the cabinets for viewing the pets during the drying and fluffing of its coating. A heater and air circulator are connected with the air inlet and, preferably, with an outside source of air. The outlet is connected exteriorly of the room in which the dryer is located and preferably at a second location different from the source of inlet air so as to avoid recirculating the moist air. Also disclosed are preferred embodiments and interconnections.
