SHOE CARE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240260810 titled 'SHOE CARE APPARATUS

The shoe management apparatus described in the patent application includes an inner cabinet, a suction port, a discharge port, a connection flow path, a dehumidifying agent, a heater, a sump, a recycling flow path, and a condenser.

• The air in the inner cabinet circulates in the shoe management apparatus, flowing through the connection flow path via the suction port, getting dehumidified by the dehumidifying agent, and then being discharged back into the inner cabinet through the discharge port.
• The heater is positioned in the connection flow path to recycle the dehumidifying agent.
• The condenser is located below the dehumidifying agent and above the sump, designed to be metallic.

Potential Applications: - Shoe storage solutions - Moisture control in footwear - Dehumidifying technology for closets and cabinets

Problems Solved: - Prevents mold and mildew growth in shoes - Maintains the quality and condition of footwear - Controls moisture levels to extend the lifespan of shoes

Benefits: - Improved shoe storage and organization - Enhanced shoe maintenance and care - Reduction of odors and bacteria growth in footwear

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Shoe Management System for Enhanced Footwear Care This technology can be utilized in shoe stores, homes, and other storage facilities to provide optimal conditions for shoe preservation and maintenance. The market implications include increased demand for high-quality shoe care products and solutions.

Questions about the Shoe Management Apparatus: 1. How does the dehumidifying agent work in the shoe management apparatus? The dehumidifying agent absorbs moisture from the air circulating in the inner cabinet, helping to maintain optimal humidity levels for shoe storage.

2. What is the significance of the condenser being located below the dehumidifying agent in the apparatus? The condenser is strategically placed to ensure efficient cooling and condensation of moisture from the dehumidifying agent, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the system.

Original Abstract Submitted

a shoe management includes an inner cabinet; a suction port; a discharge port; a connection flow path; a dehumidifying agent; a heater; a sump; a recycling flow path; and a condenser. the air in the inner cabinet circulates in the shoe management apparatus while flowing in the connection flow path through the suction port, being dehumidified by the dehumidifying agent, and then, being discharged into the inner cabinet again through the discharge port. the heater is located in the connection flow path and recycles the dehumidifying agent. the condenser is located to be lower than the dehumidifying agent and higher than the sump, and is formed to be metallic.
