Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Warmlufthandtrockner nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a warm air hand dryer according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ähnliche Warmlufthandtrockner sind in der Weise bekannt geworden, daß in der Regel an der Wand in einem Toilettenraum ein entsprechendes Gehäuse mit eingebautem Gebläse und Heizeinrichtung angeordnet ist, wobei der Benutzer im Abluftstrom dieses Gebläses sich die Hände trocknen kann.Similar warm air hand dryers have become known in such a way that a corresponding housing with built-in blower and heating device is generally arranged on the wall in a toilet room, the user being able to dry his hands in the exhaust air stream of this blower.

Nachteilig hierbei ist, daß der Warmlufthandtrockner immer an einem anderen Ort im Toilettenraum angeordnet ist als die Wasserauslaufarmatur, mit deren Hilfe die Hände gewaschen werden.The disadvantage here is that the hot air hand dryer is always located at a different location in the toilet room than the water outlet fitting, with the help of which the hands are washed.

Aus der GB-A-2 249 026 ist ein Händetrockner bekannt, der oberhalb des Waschbeckens angebracht ist. Allerdings muß der Benutzer zum Trocknen seine Hand in eine Öffnung dieses Händetrockners einführen. Darüber hinaus wirkt der Händetrockner an der zentrisch über dem Waschbecken angebrachten stelle deplaciert und verhindert das Anbringen eines Spiegels.From GB-A-2 249 026 a hand dryer is known which is attached above the wash basin. However, to dry, the user must insert his hand into an opening in this hand dryer. In addition, the hand dryer appears out of place at the location centrally above the washbasin and prevents the attachment of a mirror.

Die US-A-4 295 233 zeigt ein Waschbecken, in dessen Innenraum sowohl ein Wasser- als auch ein Luftaustritt eingebaut sind. Allerdings wird bei diesem Waschbecken eine herkömmliche Gebläseöffnung, die mit einem Gitter abgedeckt ist, verwendet. Diese ist relativ schwer zu reinigen und darüber hinaus optisch nicht ansprechend.US-A-4 295 233 shows a wash basin in the interior of which both a water and an air outlet are installed. However, this sink has a conventional fan opening, which is covered with a grid, is used. This is relatively difficult to clean and is also not visually appealing.

Die DE-AS-23 60 521 zeigt wie die oben genannte Druckschrift ein spezielles Waschbecken. Hier ist ein am Rand des Beckens verlaufender Zuführkanal für die Zufuhr von Wasser und Warmluft vorgesehen, wobei eine Umschaltung zwischen diesen beiden Medien vorgenommen werden kann.DE-AS-23 60 521 shows like the above-mentioned document a special sink. Here, a supply channel running at the edge of the basin is provided for the supply of water and warm air, it being possible to switch between these two media.

Der gesamte Aufbau ist relativ kompliziert; insbesondere ist der am Rand des Waschbeckens verlaufende Kanal mit einer Vielzahl von Öffnungen versehen und somit teuer in der Herstellung sowie relativ schwer zu reinigen.The overall structure is relatively complicated; in particular, the channel running at the edge of the wash basin is provided with a large number of openings and is therefore expensive to manufacture and relatively difficult to clean.

Die US-A-3 060 472 zeigt eine Einrichtung zum Waschen und Trocknen von Händen, insbesondere von behinderten Personen, die nur noch eine Hand haben. Hier ist eine Kombination aus Gebläse und Bürste vorgesehen, die extern und unabhängig vom Waschbecken angebracht ist.US-A-3 060 472 shows a device for washing and drying hands, in particular for handicapped persons who only have one hand. Here a combination of blower and brush is provided, which is attached externally and independently of the sink.

Sämtliche oben genannten Beispiele für Händetrockner sind entweder so aufgebaut, daß sie das Anbringen weiterer Einrichtungen in der Nähe eines Waschbeckens erschweren oder verhindern, ein extrem unbefriedigendes optisches Aussehen haben oder schwer zu reinigen und zu warten sind.All of the above examples of hand dryers are either designed to complicate or prevent the installation of additional equipment near a sink, have an extremely unsatisfactory visual appearance, or are difficult to clean and maintain.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Warmlufthandtrockner der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß er nahe bei der Wasserauslaufarmatur angeordnet werden kann, ein ansprechendes Äußeres aufweist sowie mit nur geringem Aufwand zur reinigen ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a hot air hand dryer of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be arranged close to the water outlet fitting, has an attractive exterior and can be cleaned with little effort.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung durch die technische Lehre des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet.To achieve the object, the invention is through the technical teaching of the characterizing part of Claim 1 marked.

Wesentlich hierbei ist, daß der Warmlufthandtrockner nun erfindungsgemäß im wesentlichen die Formgebung einer Wasserauflaufarmatur aufweist.It is essential here that the hot-air hand dryer now has essentially the shape of a water inlet fitting according to the invention.

Damit ergibt sich der wesentliche Vorteil, daß direkt neben der Wasserauslaufarmatur der Warmlufthandtrockner angeordnet werden kann, wodurch ein kürzestmöglicher Weg für die zu trocknenden Hände von der Wasserauslaufarmatur zum Warmlufthandtrockner gegeben ist.This results in the significant advantage that the hot air hand dryer can be arranged directly next to the water outlet fitting, which provides the shortest possible path for the hands to be dried from the water outlet fitting to the warm air hand dryer.

Hierbei ist der Warmlufthandtrockner nicht in das Waschbecken hineingebaut, so daß lediglich eine Luftaustrittsöffnung sichtbar ist, sondern vielmehr am Waschbecken oder dem Waschtisch befestigt.Here, the hot air hand dryer is not built into the sink, so that only an air outlet opening is visible, but rather attached to the sink or the vanity.

Hierbei wird es bevorzugt, wenn unterhalb des Waschtisches an dem als Rohr ausgebildeten Warmlufthandtrockner das Gebläse mit Heizeinrichtung angeordnet ist, und die Düse für den Austritt der Warmluft am oberen Ende des Warmlufthandtrockners schräg nach vorne unten gerichtet angeordnet ist.It is preferred here if the blower with heating device is arranged below the washstand on the hot-air hand dryer designed as a tube, and the nozzle for the outlet of the hot air at the upper end of the hot-air hand dryer is arranged obliquely towards the front downward.

Es kann hierbei vorgesehen sein, daß das Gebläse und die Heizeinrichtung durch einen Sensor gesteuert werden, was jedoch nicht lösungsnotwendig ist.It can be provided here that the blower and the heating device are controlled by a sensor, but this is not necessary for a solution.

Statt eines Sensors, der im vorderen Ende des Warmlufthandtrockners angeordnet ist, kann auch ein fußseitig zu betätigender Schalter angeordnet werden.Instead of a sensor which is arranged in the front end of the warm air hand dryer, a switch which can be actuated on the foot side can also be arranged.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ergibt sich nicht nur aus dem Gegenstand der einzelnen Patentansprüche, sondern auch aus der Kombination der einzelnen Patentansprüche untereinander.The subject of the present invention results not only from the subject of the individual claims, but also from the combination of the individual Claims among themselves.

Alle in den Unterlagen, einschließlich der Zusammenfassung, offenbarten Angaben und Merkmale, insbesondere die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte räumliche Ausbildung werden als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht, soweit sie einzeln oder in Kombination gegenüber dem Stand der Technik neu sind.All information and features disclosed in the documents, including the summary, in particular the spatial design shown in the drawings are claimed as essential to the invention, insofar as they are new to the prior art, individually or in combination.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer, lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellende Zeichnung näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus der Zeichnung und ihrer Beschreibung weitere wesentliche Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung hervor.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of a drawing which represents only one embodiment. Further essential features and advantages of the invention emerge from the drawing and its description.

In der Abbildung ist schematisiert ein Warmlufthandtrockner nach der Erfindung dargestellt.A hot air hand dryer according to the invention is shown schematically in the figure.

Der Warmlufthandtrockner 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Rohr, welches aus zwei Rohrabschnitten 2,3 besteht, von denen ein gerader Rohrabschnitt 2 durch den Waschtisch 4 nach unten geführt ist und an diesen Rohrabschnitt 2 ein schräg nach vorne abgebogener Rohrabschnitt 3 anschließt, der an seinem vorderen Ende eine schräg nach vorne unten gerichtete Düse 5 für die Ausströmung der Warmluft trägt.The warm air hand dryer 1 consists essentially of a tube, which consists of two tube sections 2, 3, of which a straight tube section 2 is guided downwards through the wash basin 4 and to this tube section 2 an obliquely bent tube section 3 connects to it front end carries an obliquely forwardly directed nozzle 5 for the outflow of warm air.

Es ist auch die Verwendung eines Schlauches anstelle der Rohrabschnitte möglich.It is also possible to use a hose instead of the pipe sections.

Im vorderen Bereich kann hierbei noch ein Sensor 6 angeordnet werden, dessen Erfassungsbereich bevorzugt nach unten gerichtet ist, um festzustellen, ob sich im Ausströmbereich der Düse 5 die zu trocknende Hand befindet.A sensor 6 can also be arranged in the front area, the detection area of which is preferably directed downward in order to determine whether the hand to be dried is located in the outflow area of the nozzle 5.

Am anderen Ende des Rohrabschnittes 2, unterhalb des Waschtisches 4 ist hierbei das Gebläse 7 angeordnet, das in an sich bekannter Weise einen von einem Motor 9 angetriebenen Flügel 8 aufweist, hinter dem eine Heizeinrichtung 11 angeordnet ist.At the other end of the pipe section 2, below the wash basin 4, the blower 7 is arranged, which in a manner known per se has a wing 8 driven by a motor 9, behind which a heating device 11 is arranged.

Der zu erwärmende Luftstrom 10 wird von unten her über die Ansaugöffnung 12 angesaugt und vom Flügel 8 über die Heizeinrichtung 11 in die Rohrabschnitte 2,3 geleitet, wo der erwärmte Luftstrom über die Düse 5 die zu trocknende Hand bestreicht.The air stream 10 to be heated is sucked in from below through the suction opening 12 and passed from the wing 8 via the heating device 11 into the pipe sections 2, 3, where the heated air stream brushes the hand to be dried via the nozzle 5.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ermöglicht es, einen Warmlufthandtrockner unmittelbar neben der Wasserauslaufarmatur anzuordnen, so daß ein sehr kurzer Weg von der Wasserauslaufarmatur zum Warmlufthandtrockner gegeben ist.
Dadurch werden auch lästige Tropfspuren auf dem Boden zwischen Waschtisch und Warmlufthandtrockner vermieden.
The object of the invention makes it possible to arrange a hot air hand dryer directly next to the water outlet fitting, so that there is a very short path from the water outlet fitting to the warm air hand dryer.
This also prevents annoying drip marks on the floor between the washbasin and warm air hand dryer.
