034095000 | Means to remove liquid from treated material by contact with solids | 13 |
20090000142 | Drying Apparatus - A drying apparatus includes an outer case, a portion of the outer case defining a cavity, an outlet disposed at a lower end of the cavity and a liquid dispersion unit, the liquid dispersion unit comprising a collector downstream of the outlet, a liquid evaporation unit in communication with the collector and an airflow generator for exhausting evaporated liquid from the collector to the exterior of the outer case. The liquid evaporation unit includes a high frequency agitator, such as a piezo-electric device. The piezo-electric device, when in use, agitates the surface of the water, and the water can be evaporated at a low energy cost. The waste liquid is therefore removed from the drying apparatus more hygienically and economically than known prior art arrangements. | 01-01-2009 |
20090038174 | Kitchen utensil dryer - A multi layered kitchen utensil dryer is provided comprising at least one layer of porous absorbent material enveloped by at least one sheet material, said sheet material being secured to the absorbent material. | 02-12-2009 |
20100192399 | HAND DRYING APPARATUS - A hand drying apparatus includes a high-pressure airflow generator that takes air through an air inlet and generates a high-pressure airflow, a main body casing, a first air path that is protruded from the main body casing, and a nozzle that is located in a position ahead of the main body casing in a direction of the first air path. The main body casing includes a main-body air inlet through which outside air is taken and a second air path that causes air from the main-body air inlet to flow upward and then downward to a level where the air inlet of the high-pressure airflow generator is located. | 08-05-2010 |
20120137535 | AIR DEHUMIDIFIER FOR USE IN A DRYER - The invention relates to a drying device, comprising a molded part, which has a hollow chamber formed by one or more inside walls, and one or more outside walls, wherein a superabsorbent material is provided between the inside wall(s) and the outside wall(s), and at least one wall is permeable for water and/or water vapor. The drying device can be used in a clothes dryer for reducing the drying time. | 06-07-2012 |
20140033557 | CUSTOMIZED DISPOSABLE HAND TOWEL AND METHOD - A disposable hand towel that can be customized for multiple sensory stimulation. That hand towel comprises a short fabric, cloth-like element for individual hand drying, said cloth-like element having at least two distinct color components, a first main component for a substantial body of the cloth-like element and a second accent component for covering only portions of the cloth-like element, each element further including a plurality of raised regions and recesses for providing each element with a three-dimensional feel. A plurality of such cloth-like elements are adjoined end to end on an elongated sheet and wound onto a central having at least one of: a scent dispensing element and a motion detector sound chip. | 02-06-2014 |
20140259721 | BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER NON-WOVEN FIELD BOOT DRYER INSERT WITH ABSORBENCY AND ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMISTRY - Disclosed are boot (and other footwear) dryer insert materials that are to be used to dry out boots without the use of electric or mechanical power. Said boot insert dryer materials utilize a low bioburden, biodegradable and/or compostable moisture absorbing nonwoven structure and one or more antimicrobial and/or antifungal agents that minimize odor by mitigating the spread of odor causing pathogens. The drying process includes the ability of the outer surface of the boot dryer to allow the ingress of moisture absorbed from the boot while at the same time preventing captured moisture to escape back into the boot. Fluid absorbing or superabsorbent, capabilities may be incorporated in the devices of the present invention to control excess fluids. Also disclosed are methods of manufacture of the boot dryer inserts of the present invention. | 09-18-2014 |
20140338210 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SANITARILY REMOVING SWEAT AND PROTECTING AND CARRYING PERSONAL ITEMS - The present invention includes a plurality of layered materials used to facilitate the removal of sweat and toxins which a person may experience during a physical workout. It is useful for sanitarily wicking away sweat and various other functions which may be specific to a person's needs such as carrying important items. | 11-20-2014 |
034950100 | Having manipulative means | 6 |
20130305555 | BABA BUDDY BABY BOTTLE DRYING WAND - The invention provides a bottle drying wand comprising a handheld wand tool including a disposable or reusable drying cloth and configured to easily dry infant and toddler baby bottles and sippy cups. The Baba Buddy comprises a drying wand tool wherein the base of the drying wand tool is a contoured and rounded handle to facilitate a comfortable grip. The distal end of the Baba Buddy culminates in a trident configuration having two elongated and tapered fork like tines positioned side by side. Centrally positioned between these rounded tines is a slightly shorter designed to attach and secure the drying cloth to the tool. | 11-21-2013 |
20140013610 | DRYING WAND - A drying wand for drying baby bottles and their component parts including a handle and top portion, the top portion having a plurality of petal shaped elements attached thereto in a radial configuration, the petal shaped elements being preferably formed from a microfiber material for more efficiently drying baby bottles and parts thereof. The handle further includes an ergonomic outer grip surface allowing for secure, comfortable gripping when the drying wand is in use. | 01-16-2014 |

20110061257 | Accessory Drying Insert - An accessory drying insert system consisting of a flexible cylinder shaped body made of cloth fabric which is filled with reusable desiccant beads. A fabric loop is attached at one end to facilitate removal from object being dried. The cloth wicks the moisture so it is drawn to the desiccant, where the desiccant traps the moisture. The desiccant beads are packed within the cylinder shaped body tight enough to give it shape, but loose enough to make the insert flexible like a bean bag in order to allow for easy installation and removal from the accessory being dried. The flexibility of the insert allows the drying system to be used for a multitude of accessories including boots, shoes, socks, gloves, waders, helmets, hats, gear bags, and sleeping bags. The desiccant beads allow for easy regeneration by placing the insert in direct sunlight, near or on a heat source, or by heating in a microwave oven. | 03-17-2011 |
