DUAL SIDE FLIPPABLE WET SHOE DRAINING AND DRYING RACK


FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dual-side flippable shoe rack designed for efficient
drainage and drying of wet footwear. More particularly, it pertains to a rotating and
5 mobile shoe storage solution that optimizes air circulation and water drainage,
enabling quicker drying of wet shoes while preventing water accumulation. The
design integrates a dual-function mechanism that accommodates multiple pairs of
shoes, enhancing usability and space efficiency.
10 DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
In households and commercial spaces, storing wet shoes can be problematic due to
limited airflow and the accumulation of water, leading to unpleasant odors, mold, and
prolonged drying times. Traditional shoe racks often lack proper ventilation, resulting
15 in inefficient drying, while conventional drying solutions may be bulky, difficult to
Q) handle, or require additional energy sources such as heaters or fans.

There is a need for a compact, user-friendly shoe rack that can effectively handle
wet shoes, allowing for natural drying without water pooling on the floor. Existing
20 designs often fail to combine efficient _drying with portability and space-saving
features. The proposed dual-side flippable wet shoe draining and drying rack
addresses these challenges by incorporating an innovative rotating mechanism and
integrated drainage system, making it an ideal solution for quick, mess-free drying
and convenient storage of shoes .

OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION
1. Provide an effective shoe rack that facilitates faster drying of 'wet shoes
through improved air circulation.
:!:: 30 2. Design a dual-side flippable rack mechanism to maximize exposure to air,
reducing drying time without the need for external drying equipment.

3. Incorporate a spring-based shoe holder that securely grips various shoe
sizes, preventing slippage during drying or flipping.
4. Include a built-in water collection tray to capture dripping water, preventing
floor mess and making it easy to dispose of excess water. ·
5 5. Ensure mobility with attached wheels, allowing the rack to be easily moved
and positioned as needed.
6. Utilize durable steel vertical poles for structural support, ensuring the rack
remains stable even when loaded with multiple pairs of shoes.
7. Add a top cover for protection against dust and debris while the shoes dry.
10 8. Create a compact and space-efficient design suitable for both residential and
commercial use, optimizing storage and functionality.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The dual-side flippable wet shoe draining and drying rack is a versatile storage
solution designed for efficient drying and organization of wet footwear. It features a
dual-side.d design that can be flipped using a pivot and flip knob, allowing shoes to
be exposed to air from all directions, enhancing drying efficiency. The shoe holders
are equipped with springs to grip various shoe sizes securely. The integrated water
20 collection tray captures drips, preventing water from pooling on the floor. With sturdy
steel vertical poles, wheels for mobility, and a protective top cover, this rack
combines convenience, stability, and efficient drying in a compact design.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO DRAWINGS
1. Steel Vertical Poles:
Located on the sides of the rack, these poles provide the main structural
support. Made from durable steel, they ensure stability and can hold the
weight of multiple pairs of shoes without bending or wobbling.

2. Wheels:
Positioned at the base of the rack, the wheels allow easy movement and
repositioning. They offer smooth mobility, making it convenient to relocate
the rack even when loaded with wet shoes.
3. Top Cover:
. Located at the top of the rack, this cover protects the shoes from dust,
debris, and falling objects. It also helps direct airflow around the shoes
while providing a neat, finished appearance.
4. Shoes Placing Shelf:
Attached horizontally between the steel poles, this shelf provides a stable
platform for plating shoes. It features slots to facilitate proper drainage
and airflow.
5. Shoe Rack:
This is the main frame structure that holds the shoe holders. It is
connected to the pivot mechanism, allowing the rack to flip and expose
both sides for better air circulation and faster drying.
6. Shoe Holder Spring:
Positioned on the shoe rack, these springs grip the shoes securely,
accommodating different sizes. They prevent the shoes from slipping or.
falling, even during the flipping process.
7. Flip Knob:
Located on the side of the rack, the. flip knob controls the flipping
mechanism. It allows the user to easily rotate and flip the rack, enhancing
drying efficiency by changing the position of the shoes.
8. Pivot:
Positioned at the center of the rack, the pivot connects the main frame to
the vertical poles. It enables the flipping motion, allowing the entire shoe rack to rotate smoothly for dual-sided drying.

9. Drain Water Collector Tray:
Located at the base of the shoe placing shelf, this tray collects dripping
water from wet shoes. It prevents water from spilling onto the floor and can
be easily removed for disposal and cleaning.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is a dual-side flippable wet shoe draining and drying rack designed for
10 efficient and convenient drying of wet footwear: It features a frame supported by
steel vertical poles (1) that ensure stability and strength. The rack is equipped with
wheels (2) at the base, providing smooth mobility for repositioning the unit even
when loaded. A top cover (3) protects the shoes from dust and debris while assisting
airflow.
15
The central structure includes a shoes placing shelf (4) with slots that enhance
drainage and ventilation. The shoe rack (5), which holds the individual shoe holders,
is connected to a pivot (8) mechanism, allowing the entire rack to flip 180 degrees.
The flip knob (7) located on the side of the frame controls this flipping action,
20 enabling the user to switch sides easily. This dual-side design improves drying
efficiency by exposing shoes to alr from all angles, minimizing drying time.
The shoe holder springs (6) are fixed onto the shoe rack (5), providing a secure grip
for various shoe sizes and shapes, preventing them from slipping during the flipping
25 motion. The integrated pivot (8) ensures smooth rotation without. straining the
structure. Below the shoe placing shelf (4) is a drain water collector tray (9),
designed to capture dripping water, preventing floor mess. The tray is detachable for
easy cleaning and maintenance.
30 The combination of steel poles (1), wheels (2), and a flip mechanism (7, 8) creates a
sturdy yet portable unit suitable for residential and commercial use. This design
maximizes space efficiency, provides natural drying without energy input, and
~ prevents water accumulation. The protective top cover (3) and easy-to-use flip
feature offer a practical solution for keeping footwear dry, clean, and organized.



Best Method of Operation
1. Placement of Wet Shoes:
Begin by positioning the wet shoes on the shoes placing shelf (4). The springs
loaded shoe holders· (6) will automatically grip the shoes securely,
accommodating various sizes without the risk of slipping.
2. Air Exposure for Drying:
Once the shoes .are placed, ensure that there is adequate spacing between
10 them for optimal airflow. The open design of the shelf and the slots in the
placing area allow air to circulate freely around the shoes, promoting faster
drying.
3. Utilizing the Flipping Mechanism:
15 To enhance the drying process, use the flip knob (7) on the side of the rack.

Rotate the shoe rack (5) using the pivot (8) mechanism to flip it 180 degrees,
exposing the opposite side to air. This action helps dry the shoes evenly and
reduces drying time.
4. Collecting Drained Water:
As the shoes dry, any water dripping from them is collected in the drain water
collector tray (9) located beneath the shelf. This tray prevents water from
pooling on the floor, keeping the area clean and dry. The tray can be easily
removed for disposal of the collected water and cleaning.
5. Repositioning the Rack:
If needed, move the rack using the wheels (2) at the base. The wheels
provide smooth mobility, allowing you to reposition the rack to a sunny or well-ventilated
area for faster drying.

6. Covering for Protection:
When not in use or if placed in a dusty environment, use the top cover (3) to
. protect the shoes from dirt and debris while they dry.
