Abstract
An apparatus for drying articles of apparel having a centrifugal blower associated with a housing for providing a flow of air through several tubes extending from the housing. The articles are disposed at the output portion of the tubes for drying the wet articles from the inside out. The improvement in the drying apparatus is a pocket formed at the inlet of each of the tubes. These pockets are formed, at least in part, by a wall portion which diverges relative to the flow of air from the blower. This wall continues to form a wall portion which is generally disposed transversely to the flow of air. These pockets capture a portion of the flow of air from the blower and direct the air flow into each of the tubes.
