A blower, a heater, and an ozone generator are provided in this housing for expelling air from these apertures. One aperture of each of the pairs is provided with an upwardly inclined tube having an open upper end. Roots can be racked over these tubes so that air is caused to flow by the apertures of the tubes through the inside of the boots whereas air from the other aperture of the respective pair will flow over the outside of the boot and dry it. In addition at least the upper apertures are associated with a catch trough for drips emanating from the boots on the respective tubes. A larger trough may be provided at the lower apertures for catching drips from the respective boots as well as for catching liquid deflected by the upper troughs against the side of the apparatus. | |
