, by means of a salicylate of a metal having a valence of at least 2, such as aluminum, bismuth, calcium or magnesium. It has further been shown that such composition is stabilized to a greater extent by the addition thereto of carboyxmethylcellulose. All of the above is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,067,974.
While the compositions of U.S. Pat. No. 4,067,974 constitute a considerable improvement over older choline salicylate compositions, a need has been found to improve the stability of pharmaceutical preparations thereof which are solid in nature, such as tablets, capsules, suppositories and granules. This invention relates to drying apparatus and, more particularly, to an apparatus for drying footwear in a drying device.
Various types of drying devices are known in the art. Domestic automatic clothes dryers, for example, are drying devices routinely used in households for drying wet or washed laundry, etc. Such automatic clothes dryers typically include a rotating drum operatively connected to a source of heat. During a typical drying process, heat is introduced into the drum while the drum rotates, and the heat is delivered to the contents of the drum, which usually occurs by a stream, or airflow, generated by an air moving device such as a fan or a blower. Thus, items placed in the drum, such as common household laundry, are dried by the heat and the air stream.
Often times, it is desirable to dry household items other than laundry in a drying device. Footwear, such as shoes, for example, may sometimes be washed in a washing machine or by hand, and it may be desirable to dry the washed footwear faster than just letting it sit and air-dry. Shoes loosely placed in the drum of a drying device, however, generate undesirable noise when they collide against the walls of the drum when the drum rotates. Shoes may also get damaged during such process. Devices that hold shoes in place relative to the walls of the drum to help eliminate such noise, however, do not dry the shoes as evenly and thoroughly as is typically desirable. This is usually because the heat, such as the heat in the air stream in the drum, is delivered mostly to the exterior of the shoes. A comparatively minor amount of the heat, if any, is delivered to the interior of the shoes such as the toe area inside the shoes.
To overcome such problems, shoes are usually removed from the drying device
, by means of a salicylate of a metal having a valence of at least 2, such as aluminum, bismuth, calcium or magnesium. It has further been testify that such composing is stabilized to a greater extent by the addition thereto of carboyxmethylcellulose. All of the above is report in U.S. Pat. No. 4,067,974. 
 While the compositions of U.S. Pat. nobelium. 4,067,974 constitute a considerable improvement over older choline salicylate compositions, a motivation has been found to improve the constancy of pharmaceutical preparations thereof which are solid in nature, such as tablets, capsules, suppository and granules. This invention relates to dry apparatus and, more particularly, to an apparatus for drying footwear in a dry device. 
 Various types of drying device are known in the art. Domestic automatic clothes dryers, for model, are drying devices routinely used in households for drying besotted or washed laundry, etc. Such automatic clothes dryers typically include a rotating drum operatively connect to a source of heat. During a typical drying process, heat is introduced into the drum while the drum rotates, and the heat is deliver to the contents of the drum, which normally occur by a current, or airflow, generated by an air move device such as a fan or a blower. Thus, items target in the drum, such as common household laundry, are dried by the heat and the air current. 
 Often times, it is desirable to dry household items early than laundry in a drying device. Footwear, such as horseshoe, for case, may sometimes be washed in a washing machine or by hand, and it may be desirable to dry the wash footwear faster than just letting it ride and air - dry. Shoes loosely placed in the brake drum of a drying device, however, beget undesirable noise when they collide against the wall of the drum when the barrel rotates. Shoes may besides get damaged during such process. device that hold shoes in position relative to the rampart of the drum to help eliminate such noise, however, do not dry the shoes as evenly and thoroughly as is typically desirable. This is usually because the heat, such as the heat in the breeze stream in the drum, is deliver mostly to the exterior of the shoes. A comparatively minor amount of the heat, if any, is deliver to the interior of the shoes such as the toe area inside the shoes.
