Portable and storable shoe drying machine

Abstract

A portable and storable shoe drying machine includes a main body portion and a heater. The main body portion includes a base, heat transfer tubes mounted on the base, and object supports. Heat generated by the heater is outputted from the heat transfer tubes. The base includes a storage seat provided with a storage space and a bracing portion. The heat transfer tubes are mounted onto the storage seat; and the bracing portion is capable of changing between a storage state and an open state relative to the storage seat. The shoe drying machine is capable of reducing occupied space and facilitating carrying, packaging, and transport while simultaneously increasing the area of support, enhancing stability, and preventing toppling.
