  • Patent number: 4209913
    Abstract: A method and device for drying gloves, particularly golf gloves, comprises a drying member shaped to resemble a human hand. The drying member is sufficiently rigid such that the golf glove is inserted thereon and retained in an open orientation substantially conforming to the orientation in which the glove is normally worn on a human hand. However, the drying member is also semi-resilient such that the drying member may be temporarily deformed inwardly to allow the glove to be removed therefrom. In one embodiment, the drying member is hollow having a plurality of perforations therein. This allows ambient air or a drying medium, such as heated air, to be circulated from the interior of the drying member into contact with the glove for the purpose of drying the glove.
