Abstract: A glove drying apparatus has five fingers which are angularly movable with respect to one another. A sliding mechanism is actuated to move the fingers between a relatively closed position in which the apparatus can be readily inserted into a glove. The sliding mechanism is then actuated once inside the glove to expand the fingers into a glove drying position. After the glove has been thoroughly dried, the sliding mechanism is again actuated to retract the fingers to facilitate the removal of the glove drying apparatus from a glove.
