Blower

Abstract

A blower is provided that may include a fan that creates airflow; a lower body forming a lower space therein in which the fan may be disposed, and having at least one suction hole through which air passes; a first upper body positioned above the lower body, and forming a first inner space that communicates with the lower space of the lower body; a second upper body positioned above the lower body, and forming a second inner space that communicates with the lower space of the lower body, the second upper body being spaced apart from the first upper body; and a space formed between the first upper body and the second upper body, and opened in a frontward-rearward direction. The first upper body may include a first slit formed through the first upper body such that air in the first inner space may be discharged into the space, and the second upper body may include a second slit formed through the second upper body such that air in the second inner space may be discharged into the space.

         6 . The blower of  claim 3 ,
 wherein a distance between the first and second slits is shorter than a distance between the first and second slots.   
     
     
         7 . The blower of  claim 2 ,
 wherein a shortest distance point at which a distance between the first boundary surface and the second boundary surface is shortest is disposed at a central position between the first and second slits and the first and second dampers.   
     
     
         8 . The blower of  claim 2 ,
 wherein a distance that the first and second dampers are spaced apart from the front ends of the first and second boundary surfaces is shorter than a distance that the first and second dampers are spaced apart from a shortest distance point at which a distance between the first boundary surface and the second boundary surface is shortest.   
     
     
         9 . The blower of  claim 2 ,
 wherein an angle that the rear end of the first boundary surface and the rear end of the second boundary surface is widened outward based on a center line passing through the blowing space in front-rear direction is narrower than an angle that the front end of the first boundary surface and the front end of the second boundary surface is widened outward based on the center line passing through the blowing space in front-rear direction.   
     
     
         10 . The blower of  claim 1 ,
