Shoe deodorizing apparatus

Shoe deodorizing apparatus comprising at least an atmospheric-pressure discharge assembly (2,22) including a high-voltage electrode (3,23), a counter-electrode (4,24), and at least a dielectric element (5,25) disposed therebetween, and further comprising a high-voltage AC generator (6) connected to said high-voltage electrode (3,23); it comprises a casing (7) provided with an intake port (8) and an exhaust port (9) so as to define a fluid passage (10) extending from the intake port (8) to the exhaust port (9), wherein the atmospheric-pressure discharge assembly (2,22) is arranged in the fluid passage (10), fluid supplying means for forcing an air stream along the fluid passage (10), delivering means adapted to diffuse vapours or gas of predetermined substances into said air stream in such a way that the air stream is adapted to carry said vapours or gas to the atmospheric-pressure discharge assembly (2,22) for generating, out of said vapours or gas, chemically highly reactive particles adapted to decompose organic compounds present in the shoe.
