Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Trocknen von Schuhen, Schischuhen od.dgl., bei welcher die zu trocknenden Schuhe über je ein. über wenigstens eine Austrittsöffnung Warmluft in die Schuhe leitendes, von einem oder mehreren, die Warmluft verteilenden Tragorganen wegragende Halteorgane stülpbar sind.The invention relates to a device for drying shoes, ski shoes or the like, in which the shoes to be dried are each one. Via at least one outlet opening, warm air can be slipped into the holding member, which conducts the shoes and projects away from one or more supporting members that distribute the warm air.

Bei einer bekannten Ausbildung dieser Art sind die Halteorgane durch Rohrstutzen gebildet, welche an ihrem freien Ende eine Aus - trittsöffnung für Warmluft aufweisen, über welche die Schuhe darübergestülpt werden, u.zw. derart, daß die Austrittsöffnungen für Warmluft im Bereich der Schuhspitzen zu liegen kommen. Eine solche Ausbildung hat den Nachteile, daß es insbesondere bei Schuhen mit weichem Innenfutter zu einem Verlegen der Austrittsöffnung kommen kann, was zur Folge hat, daß die Luft bei den anderen Austrittsöffnungen der benachbarten Halteorgane austritt und jene Schuhe, bei welchen die Austrittsöffnungen durch das Futter ganz oder teilweise verlegt sind, nicht getrocknet werden. Außerdem kann es zufolge der eher scharfkantigen Ausbildung der Enden der Halteorgane zu Beschädigungen der Innenseite der Schuhe kommen, u. zw. insbesondere dann, wenn die Schuhe unachtsam auf die Halteorgane aufgeschoben werden. Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Ausbildung ist auch darin zu erblicken, daß die Scharfkantigkeit der freien Enden der Halteorgane auch zu schweren Verletzungen von Personen führen kann, da erfahrensgemäß in Schischuhräumen oft nasse, bzw. rutschige Böden vorhanden sind, so daß eine Person, die am Boden ausgleitet und im Bereich des Schuhtrockners Halt sucht, sich an den freien Enden der Halteorgane verletzen kann. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ausbildung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher die genannten Nachteile nicht vorliegen und welche einfach und kostengünstig gefertigt werden kann.In a known embodiment of this type, the holding members are formed by pipe sockets, which have an outlet opening for warm air at their free end, through which the shoes are placed, etc. in such a way that the outlet openings for warm air come to lie in the area of the shoe tips. Such a design has the disadvantages that, particularly in shoes with a soft inner lining, the outlet opening can be relocated, with the result that the air escapes at the other outlet openings of the adjacent holding members and those shoes in which the outlet openings pass through the lining completely or partially installed, do not dry. In addition, due to the rather sharp-edged design of the ends of the holding members, damage to the inside of the shoes can occur, u. between, in particular, if the shoes are slipped carelessly onto the holding members. Another disadvantage of the known training can also be seen in the fact that the sharp edges of the free ends of the holding members can also lead to serious injuries to people, since, according to the method, wet or slippery floors are often present in ski boot rooms, so that a person who is on Slides out of the floor and seeks support in the area of the shoe dryer, which can injure itself at the free ends of the holding elements. The invention has for its object to provide an embodiment of the type mentioned, in which the disadvantages mentioned do not exist and which can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Halteorgane durch, vorzugsweise parallel verlaufende Schenkel aufweisende Rohrbögen einer oder mehrerer Rohrschlangen gebildet sind, wobei die Austrittsöffnung in dem nach unten gerichteten Bereich eines der Enden der Krümmung desselben angeordnet ist. Durch eine solche Ausbildung der Halteorgane ist Beschädigungen des Schuhinneren vollkommen vorgebeugt, wobei zufolge der parallel verlaufenden Schenkel der Rohrbögen eine zuverlässige Festlegung der Schuhe erzielt ist. Dies ist beispielsweise bei Schuhverleihen sehr wesentlich, da dort die Schuhe nach Größe und Art geordnet sind, wobei, abgesehen vom rein optischen Eindruck, eine Ordnung insofern herrschen muß, als die Nummern der Schuhe, u.zw. sowohl der Größe als auch der Inventarnummer nach entsprechend geordnet sein müssen, um den nötigen Überblick zu haben. Weiters kann auf Grund dieser Ausbildung der Schuh mit seinem Schaft über das Halteorgan gestülpt werden, so daß die Warmluft in die Spitzen geblasen wird, ohne daß die Halteorgane bis in die Spitzen reichen. Auch sind die Schuhe im Schaftbereich nicht so empfindlich wie im Spitzenbereich, wo sie bei Verformungen leichter zum Drücken neigen. Es können dabei auch Halbschuhe, wie z.B. Langlaufschuhe, auf dieser Einrichtung getrocknet werden, da sie in gleicher Weise mit der Ferse über den Rohrbogen gehängt werden können, wobei zufolge der Lage der Austrittsöffnung die Warmluft zuverlässig in die Spitzte geblasen wird, was die gewünschte Trocknung bewirkt.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the holding members are formed by pipe bends, preferably having parallel legs, of one or more pipe coils, the outlet opening being arranged in the downward region of one of the ends of the curvature thereof. Such a design of the holding members completely prevents damage to the inside of the shoe, which means that it remains parallel fenden leg of the pipe bends reliable determination of the shoes is achieved. This is very important, for example, for shoe rentals, since there the shoes are sorted by size and type, whereby, apart from the purely visual impression, there must be an order insofar as the numbers of the shoes, etc. both the size and the inventory number must be arranged accordingly in order to have the necessary overview. Furthermore, due to this design, the shoe with its shaft can be placed over the holding member so that the warm air is blown into the tips without the holding members reaching into the tips. The shoes in the shaft area are also not as sensitive as in the toe area, where they tend to press more easily when deformed. It can also be loafers, such as cross-country shoes, dried on this device, since they can be hung with the heel over the pipe bend, whereby due to the location of the outlet opening, the warm air is reliably blown into the laces, which results in the desired drying causes.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist auch darin gelegen, daß bei Schuhverleihen od. dgl. die Schuhe auf der Trocknungseinrichtung, gleichsam als Aufbewahrungsregal, verbleiben können, da zufolge der Ausbildung der Halteorgane die Schuhe auch bei längerem Verbleiben auf diesen Halteorganen an der Innenseite keinen Schaden nehmen. 1ft der Zeichnung sind Ausführungsbeispiele des Erfindungsgegenstandes dargestellt. Die Fig. 1 - 3 zeigen eine erste Ausführungsvariante des Erfindungsgegenstandes, wobei Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht ist, Fig. 2 eine Vorderansicht wiedergibt und Fig. 3 eine Draufsicht veranschaulicht. Fig. 4 stellt einen Vertikalschnitt durch ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel dar. Fig. 5 ist eine Draufsicht auf das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4,Another advantage is that in the case of shoe rentals or the like, the shoes can remain on the drying device, as it were, as a storage shelf, since, according to the design of the holding members, the shoes are not damaged on the inside even if they remain on these holding members for a long time. 1ft of the drawing, exemplary embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are shown. 1-3 show a first embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, FIG. 1 being a side view, FIG. 2 showing a front view and FIG. 3 illustrating a top view. FIG. 4 shows a vertical section through a second exemplary embodiment. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4,

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 1-3 handelt es sich um eine an einer Wand anbringbare Trocknungsvorrichtung. Sie weist Rohrschlangen 1 auf, die an Trägern 2,3 befestigt sind. Dabei münden die Rohrschlangen mit einem Ende in den Träger 2 und mit dem anderen Ende in den Träger 3 ein. Die beiden Träger 2, 3 sind durch eine Verbindungsleitung 4 miteinander verbunden. In dieser Verbindungsleitung 4 ist ein Gebläse 5 vorgesehen, mittels welchem die Trocknungsluft in den Träger 3 einblasbar ist. Die Trocknungsluft wird dabei über eine Heizeinrichtung 6 auf die erforderliche Temperatur aufgeheizt. Die erwärmte Trocknungsluft tritt dann über die Austrittsöffnungen 18 aus den Rohrbögen aus. Mit 1' sind die nach außen weisenden Rohrbögen bezeichnet.1-3 is a drying device that can be attached to a wall. It has coils 1 which are fastened to supports 2, 3. The coils open at one end into the carrier 2 and at the other end into the carrier 3. The two supports 2, 3 are connected to one another by a connecting line 4. In this connecting line 4, a blower 5 is provided, by means of which the drying air can be blown into the carrier 3. The drying air is heated to the required temperature via a heating device 6. The heated drying air then exits the pipe bends via the outlet openings 18. The outward-pointing pipe bends are designated by 1 '.

Die Trocknungseinrichtungen können in einzelne Panele unterteilt sein, die dann über Verbindungsmuffen 7, od.dgl. zu größeren Einheiten verbunden werden können. Dadurch ist es möglich eine dem Bedarf angepaßte Größe der Trocknungsvorrichtung zu erzielen.The drying devices can be divided into individual panels, which are then connected via connecting sleeves 7 or the like. can be connected to larger units. This makes it possible to achieve a size of the drying device which is adapted to the requirements.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 4 und 5 ist ein hohler Zylinder 10 vorgesehen, an dessen Außenmantel die Rohrschlangen 11 entlang der Erzeugenden des Zylinders angeordnet sind. Die Rohrschlangen 11 gehen von einer am untern Ende des Zylinders 10 angeordneten Verteilerkammer 15 aus und münden mit ihren obern Enden in das Bereich des Zylinders 10 ein. Oberhalb der Verteilerkammer 15 ist ein Heizregister 12 vorgesehen, durch welches hindurch mittels eines Gebläses 13, das von einem Motor 14 angetrieben ist, Luft in die Verteilerkammer 15 geblasen wird. Die warme Luft strömt dann von der Verteilerkammer durch die Rohrschlangen 11 hindurch. Im Bereich der nach außen weisenden Rohrbögen 11' sind Austrittsöffnungen 16 für die warme Luft vorgesehen. Diese Austrittsöffnungen sind dabei im Bereich der äußeren Begrenzung der vorspringenden Rohrbögen 11' angeordnet, u.zw. im Bereich eines der Enden der Krümmungen der vorspringenden Rohrbögen 11'. Dadurch tritt die Luft seitlich aus den Rohrschlangen 11 aus, so daß durch entsprechendes Aufstülpen der Schuhe erzielt werden kann, daß der aus den Austrittsöffnungen 16 austretende Luftstrahl direkt bis zu den Schuhspitzen reicht, wodurch ein ständiger Austausch der in den Schuhen befindlichen Luft erfolgt, so daß ein Stau von feuchter, warmer Luft innerhalb des Schuhes vermieden wird. Durch das Einmünden der Rohrschlangen 11 in den oberen Bereich des Zylinders 10 wird erreicht, daß vom Gebläse 13 bereits vorgewärmte Luft mitangesaugt wird, wodurch Energie eingespart werden kann.4 and 5, a hollow cylinder 10 is provided, on the outer jacket of which the coils 11 are arranged along the generatrix of the cylinder. The coils 11 start from a distributor chamber 15 arranged at the lower end of the cylinder 10 and open with their upper ends into the region of the cylinder 10. A heating register 12 is provided above the distribution chamber 15, through which air is blown into the distribution chamber 15 by means of a fan 13 which is driven by a motor 14. The warm air then flows from the distribution chamber through the coils 11. Outlet openings 16 for the warm air are provided in the region of the outward-pointing pipe bends 11 '. These outlet openings are arranged in the area of the outer boundary of the projecting pipe bends 11 ', etc. in the area of one of the ends of the curvatures of the projecting pipe bends 11 '. As a result, the air emerges laterally from the coils 11, so that it can be achieved by appropriately fitting the shoes that the air jet emerging from the outlet openings 16 extends directly to the tips of the shoes, as a result of which there is a constant exchange of the air in the shoes that a jam of moist, warm air inside the shoe is avoided. By the opening of the coils 11 in the upper region of the cylinder 10 it is achieved that already preheated air is sucked in by the fan 13, whereby energy can be saved.

Bei allen Ausbildungen kann die Temperatur des Wärmeträgermediums automatisch geregelt werden, zu welchem Zweck in herkömmlicher Weise Temperaturmeßfühler im System eingebaut werden können, wobei die Temperatur des Wärmeträgermediums zwischen 30° und 50° gehalten wird. Ein derartiger Temperaturmeßfühler ist in Fig. 2 und Fig. 4 bei 17 angedeutet. In beiden Fällen ist der Temperaturfühler der Heizeinrichtung nachgeschaltet.In all designs, the temperature of the heat transfer medium can be regulated automatically, for which purpose in a conventional manner Way temperature sensors can be installed in the system, the temperature of the heat transfer medium being kept between 30 ° and 50 °. Such a temperature sensor is indicated at 17 in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4. In both cases, the temperature sensor is connected downstream of the heating device.

Im Rahmen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind natürlich die verschiedensten räumlichen Anordnungen der Heizschlangen an Tragorganen möglich. So könnte eine Paneelwand analog den Figuren 1 bis 3 vorgesehen sein, bei der an beiden Seiten Rohrschlangen vorgesehen sind. Eine solche Ausbildung wäre in einem Raum als Teiler oder von beiden Seiten zugängliche Aufhängewand anzuordnen.Within the scope of the subject matter of the invention, of course, the most diverse spatial arrangements of the heating coils on support members are possible. A panel wall analogous to FIGS. 1 to 3 could be provided, in which pipe coils are provided on both sides. Such training would be arranged in a room as a divider or hanging wall accessible from both sides.

Auch an Stelle einer Ausbildung gemäß den Fig. 4 und 5 könnten beispielsweise die Rohrschlangen an einem als Vierkantrohr ausgebildeten Träger angeordnet sein, so daß also vier Reihen von Aufhängeorganen für die zu trocknenden Gegenstände zur Verfügung stehen.4 and 5, for example, the pipe coils could be arranged on a support designed as a square pipe, so that four rows of suspension members are available for the objects to be dried.
