Large plush towel warmer and dehumidifier

Abstract

An increased air pressure forced hot air towel warmer comprising a substantially airtight enclosure configured to be more desirable and user friendly when placed in close proximity to a tub or shower whether mounted within cabinetry, on the wall or when permanently installed between existing standard 16 inch on center wall support studs while protruding as little as possible into the room. Intended for use with large area plush towels and bath sheets for which insertion in a limited width wall enclosure or shallow depth cabinetry leads to greater vertical depth of towel material to be penetrated and substantially increases the resistance to air flow, therefore back pressure, thereby necessitating increased supply pressure to maintain adequate hot air flow through the towel. Increased supply pressure is created without objectionable noise by use of low noise rotary blowers and associated pressure accumulator cavities arranged in tandem such that their respective pressure gradients are additive. Experience has also shown that all towels exhibit some degree of adsorbed moisture, the present invention includes an embodiment for increasing user satisfaction by removing excess adsorbed moisture during the warming cycle to achieve dehumidification by means of periodic short time interval ejection of the warmed moisture laden air within the enclosure with simultaneous replacement by room air to sequentially reduce the moisture content retained within the warmed towel.
