ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for drying shoes, soft toys, or similar objects in a commercial dryer with a rotating drum (116) comprises a pair of strong nylon straps (20) and (22) with hook-and-loop fasteners to interconnect both straps. On their respective free ends the straps have respective suction cups (32 and 34). For securing a shoe or a pair of shoes (118 and 120) directly to the surface of the drying drum (116), the suction cups are attached to this surface, and free ends of the straps are tightened over the shoes (110 and 120) and fixed to each other. In other embodiments the suction cups are replaced by adhesive pads (56 and 58), permanent magnets (86 and 88), metal hooks (102 and 104), and a pair of rings (37 and 39) attached to one suction cup (33) and a smooth strap (35) attached to the other suction cup (31). The method comprises the steps of providing flexible straps with elements for removably attaching the straps to the surface of the rotating drum, attaching the above-mentioned elements to the surface of the drum on both sides of an object to be dried, and securing the object in place by stretching the straps, guiding one of them or both around the object, and connecting the free ends of the straps to each other, while maintaining the straps under tension, and thus attaching the object directly to the inner surface of the drum.
