Abstract
A drum towel drier for vehicles, in which towel holders are pivotally mounted around the periphery of a rotating drum. Each towel holder carries a towel and also has a lever projecting therefrom. When the towel holder enters a vehicle drying sector, the lever contacts a fixed trip pin, causing the towel holder to rotate through an arc (in the same direction of rotation as that of the drum), pulling such towel holder's towel part way off the drum. This expedites unwrapping of the towels from the drum so that they can dry a vehicle. A guide rail below the drum limits the rotation of the towel holders so that the rear towel hangs lower than the towels forwardly thereof, to improve the distribution of towels on the vehicle.
