Bathroom heater and body dryer

Abstract

A heating element, a power supply, and a fan or similar apparatus for creating airflow comprises a bathroom heater and dryer. The exterior of the heater provides a platform with apertures that allows airflow to exit the heater. To use the heater, a user steps onto the platform. The heating element receives power from the power supply and heats up the air contained inside of the heater. The fan pushes the air upward through the platform and the air exits through the apertures, warming the user and drying the lower extremities.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A bathroom heater and body dryer, comprising a portable heater which provides a heating element, a hollow tower, and a platform. 
     
     
         2 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 1 , wherein the platform is 18 inches long and 18 inches wide. 
     
     
         3 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 1 , wherein the platform is slightly angled to enable water to drain off to a surrounding gutter. 
     
     
         4 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 1 , wherein the tower is five feet tall. 
     
     
         5 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element provides a power switch, a powerful internal fan, and a power cord; said power switch being configured to activate the heating element; when activated, the heating element is configured to heat the air within the tower; and said powerful internal fan is configured to propel the heated air through the hollow tower. 
     
     
         6 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 5 , wherein the surface of the platform provides a plurality of apertures such that air may flow through the platform. 
     
     
         7 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 6 , wherein the hollow tower is connected to the platform such that air may pass from the hollow tower through a passage to the platform. 
     
     
         8 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 7 , further comprising a foot-operated airflow control button; the foot-operated airflow control button is located on the platform and configured to adjust the speed of the fan. 
     
     
         9 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 8  wherein the fan provides a reversible motor and the tower provides a valve which blocks airflow through an upper end; said foot-operated airflow control button being further configured to adjust the direction of the fan. 
     
     
         10 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 9 , wherein a large circular aperture is provided on the front surface of the tower. 
     
     
         11 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 10 , further comprising an air hose; the air hose being connected to the large circular aperture and configured to direct airflow. 
     
     
         12 . The bathroom heater and body dryer of  claim 11 , further comprising attachments; said attachments being removably attached to said air hose.
