Abstract
A portable drying system. The portable drying system may include a base plate; one or more holder frames disposed on a first side of the base plate, wherein each of the one or more holder frames may define an airflow channel therethrough, each airflow channel may extend through the base plate; and an attachment mechanism, wherein the attachment mechanism may be configured to attach the portable drying system to another structure.
Claims21
A portable drying system, comprising:
- a. a base plate;
- b. one or more holder frames disposed on a first side of the base plate, wherein each of the one or more holder frames define an airflow channel therethrough, each airflow channel extending through the base plate;
- c. a blower fan disposed at a second side of the base plate opposite that of the one or more holder frames, wherein the blower fan is configured to blow air into the airflow channel of one or more of the one or more holder frames;
- d. a heater mounted in-line with the blower fan, wherein the heater is one of upstream or downstream of the blower fan and is configured to provide radiant heat to one or more articles installed on one or more of the one or more holder frames;
- and
- e. an attachment mechanism, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to attach the portable drying system to another structure.

- and
- v. an attachment mechanism, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to attach the portable drying system to another structure;
- b. attaching the portable drying system to a structure;
- c. installing one or more articles to be dried on the one or more holder frames;
- and
- d. activating either or both of the blower fan and heater.
8 more elements
A portable drying system, comprising:
- a. a base plate;
- b. two holder frames disposed on a first side of the base plate, wherein each of the two holder frames include an airflow channel defined therethrough;
- c. a fan mount body, wherein the fan mount body is at least partially hollow and is formed on a second side of the base plate opposite that of the one or more holder frames, wherein the airflow channel of each of the two holder frames merge into a common airflow channel formed within the hollow portion of the fan mount body;
- d. a blower fan attached at a rear portion of the fan mount body, wherein the blower fan is configured to blow air through the common airflow channel of the fan mount body and into either or both of the airflow channels of the two holder frames;
- e. a heater mounted in-line with the blower fan, wherein the heater is one of upstream or downstream of the blower fan, wherein the heater is configured to provide radiant heat to one or more articles installed on either or both of the two holder frames;
- f. a power source configured to provide power to either or both of the blower fan and heater;
- and
- g. an attachment mechanism, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to attach the portable drying system to another structure.
