Claims (17)

  1. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung, die ein Gehäuse (12), einen Hohlraum (30), der in dem Gehäuse (12) geformt ist, um einen Gegenstand aufzunehmen, einen Ventilator (40), der in dem Gehäuse (12) angeordnet und dazu in der Lage ist, einen Luftstrom zu erzeugen, zwei einander gegenüberliegende schlitzartige Öffnungen (60, 62), die mit dem Ventilator in Verbindung stehen und in einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Gehäuses (12) angeordnet sind, um so einen Luftstrom quer durch den Hohlraum (30) zu leiten, hat, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen unterschiedliche Breiten haben und die maximale Breite nicht größer als 1,0 mm ist.
  2. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, wobei jede schlitzartige Öffnung (60, 62) eine jeweilige Breite hat, wobei die Breite der schmalsten schlitzartigen Öffnung (60) wenigstens 0,3 mm beträgt.
  3. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 2, wobei die Breite der breitesten schlitzartigen Öffnung (62) nicht mehr als 0,7 mm beträgt.
  4. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die Geschwindigkeit des durch die schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) emittierten Luftstroms wenigstens 80 m/s beträgt.
  5. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 4, wobei die Geschwindigkeit des durch die schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) emittierten Luftstroms wenigstens 100 m/s beträgt.
  6. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 5, wobei die Geschwindigkeit des durch die schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) emittierten Luftstroms wenigstens 150 m/s beträgt.
  7. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 6, wobei die Geschwindigkeit des durch die schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) emittierten Luftstroms annähernd 180 m/s beträgt.
  8. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei der Druck des durch die schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) emittierten Luftstroms wenigstens 15 kPa beträgt.
  9. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 8, wobei der Druck des durch die schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) emittierten Luftstroms wenigstens 22 kPa beträgt.
  10. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei eine der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen eine gleichbleibende Breite längs ihrer Länge hat.
  11. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 9, wobei eine der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen eine Breite hat, die sich längs ihrer Länge verändert.
  12. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 11, wobei eine der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen eine Breite hat, die am größten an ihrer Mitte ist.
  13. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 11 oder 12, wobei die maximale Breite der einen der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen geringer ist als die doppelte minimale Breite derselben.
  14. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 13, wobei im Wesentlichen die Hälfte der Länge der einen der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen eine Breite hat, die größer ist als die minimale Breite.
  15. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei sich eine erste (60) der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) in einer Vorderwand (14) des Hohlraums (30) befindet und sich eine zweite (62) der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) in einer Rückwand (16) des Hohlraums (30) befindet und wobei die Breite der ersten (60) der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) kleiner ist als die Breite einer zweiten (62) der zwei schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62).
  16. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die einander gegenüberliegenden schlitzartigen Öffnungen (60, 62) derart angeordnet sind, das bei Anwendung die durch dieselben emittierten Luftströme zum innersten Ende des Hohlraums (30) hin geneigt sind.
  17. Handtrocknungsvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 15, wobei die einander gegenüberliegenden schlitzartigen Öffnungen derart angeordnet sind, das bei Anwendung die durch dieselben emittierten Luftströme im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander sind.
