Abstract

A stump sock dryer is configured to rapidly move air through a stump sock quickly drying the stump sock. The stump sock dryer includes a fan capable of moving air. Ducting is connected to the fan such that the fan moves the air through the ducting. An air delivery tube is mechanically coupled to the ducting such that the air moves through the ducting and into the air delivery tube. An air delivery nozzle is connected to the air delivery tube sufficiently sized to accommodate a stump sock. The fan can blow air through the ducting into the air delivery tube and through the air delivery nozzle into the stump sock quickly drying the stump sock.

Claims

1. A machine for drying the inside of amputee stump socks comprising:

1. a ducting system for directing air into stump socks,

2. a fan for moving air through ducting,

3. air tubes to direct air from duct through nozzles, and

4. nozzles with rollers, mounted on air tubes, to allow gentle placement of stump socks onto the machine preserving stump sock material and shape.
