Definitions

  • the invention relates to a warm air hand dryer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a hand dryer which is attached above the wash basin.
  • the user must insert his hand into an opening in this hand dryer.
  • the hand dryer appears out of place at the location centrally above the washbasin and prevents the attachment of a mirror.
  • US-A-4 295 233 shows a wash basin in the interior of which both a water and an air outlet are installed.
  • 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.
  • DE-AS-23 60 521 shows like the above-mentioned document a special sink.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • US-A-3 060 472 shows a device for washing and drying hands, in particular for handicapped persons who only have one hand.
  • a combination of blower and brush is provided, which is attached externally and independently of the sink.
  • 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.
  • the invention is through the technical teaching of the characterizing part of Claim 1 marked.
  • the hot-air hand dryer now has essentially the shape of a water inlet fitting according to the invention.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • blower and the heating device are controlled by a sensor, but this is not necessary for a solution.
  • a switch which can be actuated on the foot side can also be arranged.
  • a hot air hand dryer according to the invention is shown schematically in the figure.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
