Patent number: 6732447Abstract: A shoe drying device having two arms and an airflow channel extending therethrough. A spring exerts an outward force on the arms. Each arm includes a member for holding a shoe at an end thereof. During a drying cycle, convection air enters through an air inlet towards the center of the device, flows through the airflow channel, and exits through air outlets in the members for holding a shoe at the ends of the arms. This facilitates more even drying of shoes held in the members for holding shoes.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2001Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Donald Mark Tomasi, James I. Czech, Michael R. MacKay
