ABSTRACT:
A shoe bar is useful for drying shoes in a conventional clothes dryer. The shoe bar has a relaxed length that is equal to or slightly greater than the inner diameter of the drum of the clothes dryer. The bar ends are inserted into the shoes. The bar is manually bent and placed in the drum. One shoe is placed against the drum inner diameter, and the other shoe is placed proximate the drum diametrically opposite the first shoe. The bar is released. The elastic material exerts a restoring force that tends to return the bar toward its relaxed configuration. The bar is too long to relax completely, so it remains at a working configuration whereat it urges the shoes against the drum. The shoes remain pressed against the drum, so they do not tumble when the clothes dryer is operated to rotate the drum.
