ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device which has been specifically conceived to dry feet thoroughly by means of hot air; it comprises an upper and a lower chamber. The lower chamber acts as a support for the upper chamber, and should be rectangular in shape and hermetically sealed. This lower chamber houses the ventilating mechanism which has an air intake for the fan which is driven by an electric motor fed by a cable; the fan generates the draft necessary for the drier to work. The drier is also fitted with a tubular resistor which heats up when electric current is applied and so warms the air in the lower chamber to a preferred temperature controlled by means of a regulator and a timer to pre-set the operating time The upper chamber is half enclosed with a convex cover and is positioned and supported on the walls of the lower chamber. Its function is to close in the air and direct it all around the top and sides of feet in a whirling fashion, so drying the upper part of the feet and the toe webs. Forty seconds are sufficient for a thorough drying. It is simple to operate, requiring only the use of an on-off switch, and stepping on and off the platform. The drier features and provides complete and hygienic feet drying, with the advantage of helping to eliminate the conditions in which fungi and viruses which attack feet develop.
