ABSTRACT:
The device consisting of a hollow body made of foam rubber or other shock absorbing material defining an enclosed chamber and having a plurality of holes therein. A closeable opening is provided that is of adequate size to allow wet tennis shoes or other objects in need of drying to be placed inside said enclosed chamber. The unit with the articles to be dried within are inserted into a rotary drum clothes dryer and the loud thumping and banging noise normally associated with drying heavy shoes in a rotating metal drum are significantly reduced or eliminated. Further, the padding and shock absorbing shape of the envelope prevents the dryer's door from being knocked open from the inside as often happens when hard shoes hit the back of the door during the tumbling and drying process. Furthermore, shoes and delicate fabrics may safely be dried in the same load as they are effectively separated by the device.
