Abstract
A damp cap management system (DCMS) for receiving, storing, drying, and transporting caps, coverings, and other applicable items. The DCMS may have a clam shaped case that can lay flat opened or be snapped shut securely. Inside flaps may be adjusted and stand at different angles, or lay flat, so caps can be installed on them to dry. The case and flaps may have apertures for ventilation and continuous air circulation even when the case is closed. The case may have internal motorized fan(s) for faster drying of the cap(s). The case may have a utility loop attached at the top and internal pocket(s). The flaps may be attached to a cross bar that runs across the length of the case at the bottom and is connected to stop plugs that fit into slots to enable the flaps to stand vertically when the case is opened and laid flat.
