Abstract

Der Händetrockner hat mindestens einen Gebläsemotor (3), der in einem Gehäuse (2) untergebracht ist und Luft durch eine Austrittsöffnung (5 bis 7) ausbläst. Um die Trocknungsluft optimal zu nutzen, so dass nur eine geringe Zeit zum Trocknen der Hände erforderlich ist, weist der Händetrockner wenigstens eine weitere Austrittsöffnung (5 bis 7) auf. Die aus den Austrittsöffnungen (5 bis 7) austretenden Luftströme treffen in einem Trocknungsbereich (17) für die Hände zusammen. Der Trocknungsbereich ist so ausgebildet, dass die gesamte Hand umschlossen ist. Dadurch wird der Trocknungsvorgang erheblich beschleunigt. Da die Luftströme im Trocknungsbereich zusammentreffen, kann der Benutzer den optimalen Punkt zum Trocknen der Hände ohne Weiteres finden.

The hand dryer has at least one blower motor (3), which is accommodated in a housing (2) and blows out air through an outlet opening (5 to 7). In order to optimally use the drying air, so that only a small time is required for drying the hands, the hand dryer has at least one further outlet opening (5 to 7). The air streams emerging from the outlet openings (5 to 7) meet in a drying area (17) for the hands. The drying area is designed so that the entire hand is enclosed. This significantly speeds up the drying process. As the air streams converge in the drying area, the user can easily find the optimal point for drying the hands.
