(D) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a brush rotationally driven by the drive motor is made to project in a substantially horizontal direction on the side surface of the main body containing the drive motor, and the brush lower part and the main body mount. A space is formed between the mounting surface and shoes, and a blower composed of a blower motor and a blower fan is arranged below the drive motor in the main body, and the blower fan is arranged near the lower surface of the main body. The main body is provided with a blower unit for blowing the blower's blown air into the shoe, and the blower unit is
The air blower unit is composed of a frame portion that is removably attached to and detachable from the main body, and has a pair of cylindrical projections, and a blower pipe that is slidably inserted in the frame portion. The main body accommodates the blower unit. A shoe polisher with a storage room.

Further, on the side surface of the main body containing the drive motor, a brush rotationally driven by the drive motor is projected in a substantially horizontal direction to form a space between the lower portion of the brush and the main body mounting surface so that shoes can be inserted. A blower for cooling the drive motor, which is composed of a blower motor and a blower fan, is disposed below the drive motor in the main body, the blower fan is arranged near the lower surface of the main body, and the blower of the blower is provided on the main body. An air blower unit for blowing air into the shoe is provided, and the air blower unit is removably attached to and detachable from the main body, and the air blower is slidably inserted into the frame portion provided with a pair of protruding cylindrical bodies. A shoe polisher comprising a pipe and a storage chamber for storing the blower unit in the main body.

(E) Action With the configuration as described above, the drive motor is driven to move the brush, and the shoe is brought into contact with the brush to polish the shoe. Also,
When the shoe is dried, the shoe is hooked on the blower unit, the blower is driven to blow the blower's blown air into the shoe, and the shoe is dried. If you do not dry your shoes, store the blower unit in the storage room.

In order to form a space between the lower part of the brush and the mounting surface of the main body so that the shoe can be inserted, the drive motor is disposed on the upper part of the main body, and a space is formed below the drive motor. Since the blower for drying the blower is arranged, the blower can be compactly incorporated into the main body, and the center of gravity of the main body can be positioned below, so that the main body can be stably arranged. Further, since the blower fan is provided in the vicinity of the lower surface of the main body, the blower fan itself can be made large, and the low area of the main body is enlarged, so that the stability of the main body can be improved. And when the shoes are not dried, the blower unit can be stored, so
The air blower unit does not get in the way when the shoes are brushed, and there is no extra protrusion on the main body, making it compact.
