Hand dryer

Abstract

A hand dryer includes a nozzle for blowing out an airflow toward a drying space, which is open at the front and the left and right sides so that hands can be freely inserted and withdrawn, and a water receiving part that receives water droplets blown away from hands inserted in the drying space by the airflow blown out vertically downward from the nozzle. While the airflow is being blown out vertically downward from the nozzle, the water receiving part and the nozzle do not directly face each other.

1 . A hand dryer comprising:
 a nozzle for blowing out an airflow toward a drying space; and   a water receiving part that receives water droplets blown away from hands in the drying space by the airflow blown out from the nozzle,   wherein while the airflow is being blown out from the nozzle, the water receiving part and the nozzle do not directly face each other.   
     
     
         2 . A hand dryer comprising:
 a nozzle for blowing out an airflow toward a drying space; and   a water receiving part that receives water droplets blown away from hands in the drying space by the airflow blown out from the nozzle,   wherein while the airflow is being blown out from the nozzle, the water receiving part is not located on an extension of a blow direction of the nozzle.   
     
     
         3 . A hand dryer comprising:
 a nozzle for blowing out an airflow toward a drying space; and   a water receiving part that receives water droplets blown away from hands in the drying space by the airflow blown out from the nozzle,   wherein while the airflow is being blown out from the nozzle, the water receiving part is not located on an extension of a center axis of an air jet hole of the nozzle.   
     
     
         4 . The hand dryer according to  claim 1 , wherein the drying space is open at least at the front, and the water receiving part is located rearward of the nozzle. 
     
     
         5 . The hand dryer according to  claim 2 , wherein the drying space is open at least at the front, and the water receiving part is located rearward of the extension of the blow direction of the nozzle. 
     
     
         6 . The hand dryer according to  claim 3 , wherein the drying space is open at least at the front, and the water receiving part is located rearward of the extension of the center axis of the air jet hole. 
     
     
         7 . The hand dryer according to  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is provided in a casing forming an outer shell, and the water receiving part is placed rearward of a position at a distance of half of a distance between a front end and a rear end of the casing along a front-back direction. 
     
     
         8 . The hand dryer according to  claim 2 , wherein the nozzle is provided in a casing forming an outer shell, and the water receiving part is placed rearward of a position at a distance of half of a distance between a front end and a rear end of the casing along a front-back direction. 
     
     
         9 . The hand dryer according to  claim 3 , wherein the nozzle is provided in a casing forming an outer shell, and the water receiving part is placed rearward of a position at a distance of half of a distance between a front end and a rear end of the casing along a front-back direction.
