A garment transportation and the drying device is provided with a transportation frame for carrying a container for garments, and a drying frame, the drying frame being deployable for supporting garments to be dried when the device is used in drying mode. The transportation frame provides support for a container such as a hockey bag and may be mounted on wheels to operate as a dolly. The drying frame includes a series of drying supports, preferably in the form of cantilevered arms extending from a central support post. Items to be dried such as gloves, etc., may be slid over the free ends of the cantilevered arms.

I claim: 1. A garment transportation and drying device capable of being employed either in transportation mode or in drying mode comprising: a) a transportation frame having a first side for carrying a container for garments, and b) a drying frame for drying garments carried by the transportation frame, the drying frame being deployable outwardly from a second side, opposite to said first side, on the transportation frame for supporting garments to be dried when the device is used in drying mode wherein: i) said drying frame comprises a central support post positioned between the lateral sides of the transportation frame, the drying frame having a series of drying supports in the form of two or more cantilevered arms that extend from said central support post, ii) the central support post is fitted to the transportation frame by a hinge means, allowing the post to be swung outwardly from the transportation frame along an arc thereby extending the drying frame into a drying configuration, iii) the device comprises two wheels mounted on respective lateral sides of the transportation frame wherein the hinge means is positioned and joined to the transportation frame along a line extending approximately between the two wheels, and iv) the central support post comprises an upper end portion having a protruding handle portion which permits the user to pull the entire garment transportation and drying device along on its wheels, once the drying frame has been swung into the configuration for its traveling mode. 2. The device as in claim 1 wherein the transportation frame comprises support means for extending beneath said container when said container is positioned thereon, both when the device is in transportation mode and when it is in drying mode. 3. The device as in claim 1 wherein the drying frame is positionable to nest within the transportation frame when the device is in its transportation mode. 4. The device as in claim 1 comprising wheels mounted on respective lateral sides of the transportation frame to provide that the device may be manually propelled as a dolly. 5. The device as in claim 1 wherein the protruding handle portion is telescopically mounted to the drying frame permitting it to be extended outwardly when the device is pulled along on its wheels. 6. The device as in claim 1 wherein the transportation frame defines a common plane and the device comprises a transverse member with a notch formed therein, the notch being aligned to receive the support post, permitting the post to lie nested therein when "parked" within the common plane defined by the transportation frame. 7. The device as in claim 1 wherein the central support post is fitted to the transportation frame by a hinge means and further comprising a restraining means extending between the transportation frame and drying frame to limit the extension of the drying frame when the drying frame is extended in drying mode and wherein the restraining means is located above the hinge means. 8. The device as in claim 7 wherein the restraining means is in the form of strapping that serves as a tether. 9. The device as in claim 1 comprising a supplemental device support means carried by the transportation frame or drying frame to provide support for the device to remain upright even when the drying frame is deployed in drying mode. 10. The device as in claim 9 wherein the supplemental device support means comprises deployable strut means carried by the transportation frame or drying frame that may be swung outwardly, away from the transportation frame or drying frame to contact the ground and support the transportation frame or drying frame in an upright orientation, when loaded with garments. 11. The device as in claim 10 wherein the strut means is supported by hinges carried by the transportation frame or drying frame that allow such strut means, when deployed, to extend downwardly and contact the ground and permit the strut means to rotate into alignment with the transportation frame for storage. 12. The device as in claim 1 wherein the drying frame, when deployed, is carried substantially by the transportation frame. 13. The device as in claim 1 comprising a restraining means carried by the transportation frame for limiting the deployment of the drying frame, wherein, when the drying frame is deployed outwardly from the transportation frame for supporting garments to be dried when the device is used in drying mode, the restraining means extends between the transportation and drying frame to support the drying frame. 14. The device as in claim 1 comprising a container for garments positioned on the first side of the transportation frame, the drying frame being so located within the transportation frame that upon the deployment of the drying frame outwardly from the transportation frame the container for garments is not disturbed from its position on the transportation frame. 15. The device as in claim 1 comprising a container for garments positioned on the first side of the transportation frame, the drying frame being so located within the transportation frame that upon the deployment of the drying frame outwardly from the transportation frame the container for garments is not disturbed from its position on the transportation frame. 16. The device as in claim 7 comprising a container for garments positioned on the first side of the transportation frame, the drying frame being so located within the transportation frame that upon the deployment of the drying frame outwardly from the transportation frame the container for garments is not disturbed from its position on the transportation frame.
