Hand dryer device
Abstract
A hand dryer device includes a casing, a drying chamber superiorly open formed in the upper portion of the same casing for placing the hands of the user, aeration means provided for orienting an air flow rate towards an outlet located in the area of the drying chamber, and detection means for detecting the presence of the hands of the user in the drying chamber. The drying chamber runs transversely from the front region to the rear region of the casing, the drying chamber being laterally delimited by two arms facing each other, which extend vertically from the corresponding lateral regions, the drying chamber having dimensions configured for the insertion of the two hands of the user from the front area of the casing. The air outlet is located on the internal face of the two arms; the air flow rate is laterally oriented towards the hands of a user.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A hand dryer device comprising:
a casing defined by a front, rear region and two lateral regions, a drying chamber superiorly open formed in the upper portion of the same casing configured for the insertion of the hands of a user from the front region of the same, aeration means provided for orienting an air flow rate towards an outlet located in the area of the drying chamber, and detection means for detecting the presence of the hands of the user in the drying chamber, wherein the drying chamber runs transversely from the front region to the rear region of the casing, said drying chamber presenting a U-shaped general geometry and the same drying chamber being laterally delimited by two arms facing each other, which extend vertically from the corresponding lateral regions, the drying chamber having dimensions configured for the insertion of the two hands of the user from the front area of the casing, wherein the air outlet is located on the internal face of the two arms that extend in such a way that the air flow rate is laterally oriented towards the hands of a user.
2 . The hand dryer device according to claim 1 , further comprising a water evacuation means intended for evacuating water from the hands of the user.
3 . The hand dryer device according to claim 2 , wherein the water evacuation means comprise a cage located on the rear face of the casing, which has a sunken section having at its bottom at least one drainage outlet linked to a water evacuation conduit.
4 . The hand dryer device according to claim 1 , wherein the air outlet is defined by two outlet holes facing each other, each of the outlet holes being in a respective arm.
5 . The hand dryer device according to claim 1 , wherein the aeration means comprise a body that forms two nozzles that extend from a lower portion that can be coupled to air propulsion means, each of which having a final ending that is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, such that the outlet flow exiting through the air outlets is oriented downwards.
6 . The hand dryer device according to claim 1 , wherein the aeration means comprise a body that forms two nozzles that extend from a lower portion that can be coupled to air propulsion means, each of which having a final ending that is inclined with respect to a horizontal and vertical plane, such that the outlet flow exiting through the air outlets is oriented downwards and towards the rear side of the casing.
7 . The hand dryer device according to claim 1 , wherein the detection means comprise at least one infrared sensor located on the internal face of one of the arms.
8 . The hand dryer device according to claim 1 , wherein it is enabled for its installation and positioning on a wall.
9 . The hand dryer device according to claim 8 , wherein it is enabled for its installation and positioning on a wall in the rear region of the casing.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
