Abstract

Body dryer, characterized by being constituted from a hollow column, of adequate height to that of its user, column that extends at its upper extremity, after a bend or bow, in a terminal section located above the head of the user, counting said column with a plurality of air diffusers, suitably distributed along the same and assisted by at least one fan, operable through the corresponding switch and with which an electrical resistance for heating the air that arrives contributes to the aforementioned diffusers.

Description

Body dryer

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a gadget for personal use, whose purpose is to allow drying of the body without using the classic towel or Similary.

The dryer that is recommended results Especially suitable for use in hotels and similar, but obviously it can be used in a generalized way.

Background of the invention

While there are hair dryers, with the obvious purpose of drying the hair of the head after washing, for body drying is not known to date more than Classic towel or similar, which fulfills its function of form relatively satisfactory, but that nevertheless generates certain problems that include the need for washing, what which is a waste of time, energy consumption by the corresponding washing machine, and also a detergent consumption that In addition to its economic cost, it has a negative impact on the level environmental.

The problem that has just been exposed, is flat evidence in public establishments, such as hotels mentioned above, where you must proceed daily to Wash large amounts of towels.

Description of the invention

The body dryer that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily exposed above, by making the use of towels unnecessary, also offering a significantly higher degree of comfort for the Username.

For this and more specifically, said dryer it is structured based on a column, of sufficient height as to exceed the height of any normal person, with a series of air diffusers conveniently distributed throughout of the same, and with an elbow or bow next to its upper limb, so that its end zone is superimposed on the user's head, when it is placed conveniently next to the dryer.

At least one internal fan will generate the air of feeding of the mentioned diffusers, with their corresponding start and stop switch.

The mentioned column can rest on the ground, Staying stable with the support of a support base which makes it removable, although it can also be anchored by means conventional to the floor or to the wall.

From this basic structuring is feasible the incorporation to the dryer of more than one fan, of electric heating resistors that allow obtaining hot air, with temperature regulator operable by the user like fan speed, to get more or less hot air and with more or less force of issue.

The aforementioned switch can be replaced by a presence detector that will automatically close the circuit motor supply when the user stands before the dryer in position of use.

In the case of using several fans, the dryer can be used by sectors to the user's will, in order that the jet or the jets of air especially affects those parts of the body selected for that purpose. In this case the dryer will have independent switches for different fans, or a selector that allows to choose the emission zone.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic side elevation, a body dryer made of according to the object of the present invention, which appears fixed immovably on a wall.

Figure 2.- Shows a similar representation to that of the previous figure, but in which the dryer appears sectioned, provided in this case with a lift base that It makes it portable, and in use situation.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can note how the body dryer that the invention proposes is constituted from a hollow column (1), which may be equipped with a base or support base (2), as in the case of Figure 2, which can be fixed immovably to said floor or that can be fixed to the wall, as in the case of figure 1, by a pair of short rear arms (3), or by any other means, medium.

In any case column (1) will be finished off by its upper extremity in an arched section (4), as in the case of Figure 1, or angled (4 ') as in the case of Figure 2, which also in any case it is located above the head of the user and with the obvious purpose of facilitating hair drying of the same.

Along column (1) a plurality of air diffusers (5) that generate respective jets air (6), conveniently oriented towards the user when it occupies the position intended for this purpose, air flow generated by a fan (7).

The aforementioned fan (7) can be accommodated in the lower end sector of the column (1) in the case of fixing mural for the dryer, the one shown in figure 1, or it can stay within the support base (2), as in the case of figure 2, in which case it is necessary that said base (2) incorporate a grill (8) for air intake.

On any appropriate side of column (1) is will have the switch (9) for commissioning the fan (7).

Logically the tubular column (1) will be closed by its upper and free limb (10), the nozzles or air diffusers (5) will be adequately distributed along of it, and where appropriate said hollow column will be compartmentalized by separating partitions when a sector drying with several drying fans independent.

In the usual case that the column provides hot air, next to the fan (7) a electrical resistance (11) operating simultaneously or independent with the fan (7), to heat the passing air through it.

Claims (4)

1. Body dryer, characterized by being constituted from a hollow column, of adequate height to that of its user, a column that extends through its upper extremity, after a bend or bow, in a terminal section located above the head of the user, said column having a plurality of air diffusers, suitably distributed along it and assisted by at least one fan, operable through the corresponding switch and with which an electrical resistor for heating of the arriving air collaborates. to the aforementioned diffusers. 2. Body dryer, according to claim 1, characterized in that the switch for power supply of the fan and, where appropriate, the electrical resistance, is capable of being replaced by a presence detector. 3. Body dryer, according to previous claims, characterized in that the fan is of adjustable speed and the electrical resistance is of adjustable power. 4. Body dryer, according to previous claims, characterized in that said hollow column, closed by its upper extremity, is capable of being compartmentalized determining several sectors for drying of respective parts of the user's body, each sector having its respective fan, electrical resistance and switch.
