ABSTRACT:
A tobacco pipe holder and dryer comprises a hollow housing having a cylindrical base portion and an upper portion opening from the base portion extending upward and flared outward therefrom and having around its upper periphery a plurality of downwardly directed nozzle outlets. A plurality of radially extending support members are pivotally supported on said housing and aligned with said nozzle outlets. A cup shaped supporting member is pivotally supported on the outer end of each of said support members and is movable into and out of juxtaposition to said nozzle outlets for supporting a pipe bowl with a nozzle outlet positioned therein. The apparatus includes springs urging each of said pivotal support members toward said nozzle outlets. The housing base portion has one or more air inlet openings, preferably louvered openings, and encloses a blower and an electric motor for operating the same. An electric heater is positioned in the housing above the blower for heating air circulating to said nozzle outlets. The apparatus is provided with switches independently controlling the electric heater and the blower motor and preferably includes a time operated switch for timed operation of the heater and blower.
