SHOE CARE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18284477 titled 'SHOE CARE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The shoe care apparatus described in the patent application is designed to dehumidify and circulate air inside the inner cabinet of the apparatus to help maintain the quality of shoes stored inside.
- The apparatus includes a moisture absorbent block with an inner mesh, an outer mesh, and a moisture absorbent material.
- Air inside the inner cabinet flows into the connection flow path through the suction port, passes through the moisture absorbent block, and is dehumidified before being circulated back into the inner cabinet through the discharge port.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be used in shoe care products, shoe storage solutions, and other devices that require dehumidification and air circulation.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent moisture buildup inside shoe care apparatus, which can lead to mold, mildew, and deterioration of shoes over time.
Benefits
The dehumidification and air circulation system in this apparatus can help extend the lifespan of shoes, improve air quality inside the cabinet, and maintain the overall condition of footwear.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications for this technology include shoe care products, shoe storage containers, and other devices designed to preserve the quality of footwear.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing shoe care devices with dehumidification features, although the specific design of the moisture absorbent block and airflow system may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the moisture absorbent block maintain its effectiveness over time?
The patent application does not provide details on the longevity or replacement of the moisture absorbent block. Further information on the durability and maintenance of this component would be helpful for potential users.
What is the power consumption of the blower in the shoe care apparatus?
The patent application does not mention the power requirements or energy efficiency of the blower used in the apparatus. Understanding the energy consumption of this device could be important for users looking to minimize electricity usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shoe care apparatus includes an inner cabinet, a suction port, a discharge port, a connection flow path, a blower and a moisture absorbent block. The moisture absorbent block includes an inner mesh, an outer mesh and a moisture absorbent. A first flow path, which is a portion of the connection flow path, is provided inside the inner mesh, and a second flow path, which is a portion of the connection flow path, is provided outside the outer mesh. Air inside the inner cabinet flows into the connection flow path through the suction port, flows to the second flow path from the first flow path while passing through the moisture absorbent block, is dehumidified by means of the moisture absorbent block, and then is circulated inside of the shoe care apparatus while being discharged into the inner cabinet again through the discharge port.
