Patent

CA 2617081

Hand drying apparatus (10) has a casing (12), a cavity (30) formed in the casing (12) for receiving for receiving a user's hands, a fan (40) located in the casing (12) and capable of creating an airflow, and a plurality of openings (60, 62) communicating with the fan (40) and arranged to direct an airflow transversely across the cavity (30). The cavity (30) has an entrance (32) delimited by a front edge (32a) and a rear edge (32b) in which the openings (60, 62) are located. The shape of the front and rear edges (32a, 32b) is such that, when in use the user's hands are introduced to the cavity (30), the distance between the user's hands and the nearest opening (60, 62) is substantially uniform. Alternatively, one of the edges (32a) is substantially straight and the other of the said edges (32b) is curved so that the distance between the said edges (32a, 32b) varies along the length of the cavity entrance (32). These arrangements enhance the drying efficiency of the dryer.

Le sèche-mains (10) selon l~invention comporte une enveloppe (12), une cavité (30) ménagée dans l'enveloppe (12) et destinée à recevoir les mains d~un utilisateur, un ventilateur (40), placé dans l~enveloppe (12) et capable de créer un flux d'air, et une pluralité d~ouvertures (60, 62) qui communiquent avec le ventilateur (40) et sont disposées de manière à diriger un flux d~air transversalement à travers la cavité (30). La cavité (30) comprend une entrée (32) délimitée par un bord avant (32a) et un bord arrière (32b) dans laquelle se trouvent les ouvertures (60, 62). La forme des bords avant et arrière (32a, 32b) est telle que, lorsque pendant l~utilisation l~utilisateur introduit ses mains dans la cavité (30), la distance entre les mains de l~utilisateur et l~ouverture la plus proche (60, 62) est sensiblement uniforme. Suivant une autre possibilité, l~un des bords (32a) est sensiblement droit tandis que l'autre bord (32b) est incurvé de sorte que la distance entre lesdits bords (32a, 32b) varie le long de l'entrée de la cavité (32). Ces dispositions augmentent l~efficacité de séchage du sécheur.
