Abstract
A shoe management apparatus includes a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving a shoe therein, a first supply portion including a duct for guiding flow of a fluid, and a second supply portion connected to the first supply portion, extending in a longitudinal direction of the first supply portion and angled towards the receiving portion, the second supply portion receiving the fluid from the first supply portion and directing the fluid to the shoe.
Claims19
A shoe management apparatus, comprising:
- a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving a shoe therein;
- a first supply portion for guiding flow of a fluid;
- a second supply portion connected to the first supply portion, extending in a longitudinal direction of the first supply portion and angled towards the receiving portion, the second supply portion being configured to receive the fluid from the first supply portion and to direct the fluid to the shoe,
- wherein the first supply portion comprises:
- a stationary duct disposed above the receiving space;
- a flexible duct connected to the stationary duct and configured to rotate to change shape;
- a rotatable duct connected to the flexible duct and disposed outside the second supply portion;
- and
- a first driver connected to the rotatable duct and configured to generate a rotational force to rotate the rotatable duct.
