Invention of the Week #7: Dryer Shoe Holder
This week’s featured invention is the “ Dryer Shoe Holder”, which was invented by Richard Jackson, Sr. and Glenda Jackson. Richard and Glenda have an issued US Utility patent on their invention.
Along with the winter comes snow, sleet, slush…and ultimately grimey, muddy shoes. Dryer Shoe Holder was developed to help consumers launder their tennis shoes, without all that bumping and banging around in the drum of the clothes dryer. The device safely secures tennis shoes inside of the dyer, and holds them firmly in place while tumbling. It consists of a flat base unit with straps for fastening the shoes. The underside of the base is magnetic, and attaches securely to the metal drum of the dryer.

People dry their sneakers? I’d never imagine that… But if this is common, then this truly is a good idea.

To All Interested:
The DryerShoe Holder can be purchased straight from the inventors, visit their web page @ http://www.j5enterprises.com, print out the order form and send it in, I bought 2 as christmas gifts and the owners love them, I only heard good things about it, so I bought 1 for myself and the truth is what it is, dried my shoes in about 30 min after following the instructions. The cost is 19.95 + tax / shipping handeling cost according to your state.

Why not just get a peet dryer. They will dry all you foot wear, bike helmet and more with no moving parts, such as a clothes dryer.
