  The head 2 and the head receiving member 3 are capable of blowing air from the outlet 22 toward the first angle range 41 when the head 2 is separated from the head receiving member 3 and the head 2 is viewed from above In the first state and in the state where the head 2 is accommodated in the head receiving member 3, the air is blown from the outlet 22 to a second angle range 42 narrower than the first angle range 41 when the head 2 is viewed from above The possible second state can be taken.

(Action / effect)
In the blowing device 101 according to the present embodiment, the head 2 and the head receiving member 3 can be in the first state and the second state, so as shown in FIG. 6 by selecting the first state, The hose 4 can be extended to put the head 2 under the comforter 82. By doing this, the blower 101 can be used as a duvet dryer that can easily supply warm air evenly to the entire space between the comforter 82 and the duvet 81. On the other hand, by setting the head 2 and the head receiving member 3 in the second state, wind can be blown out toward the indoor space 84 as shown in FIG. 25, for example. At this time, the wind blown out is not limited to the warm air but may be a wind at normal temperature. The blower 101 can take in air from the outer suction port 13 as indicated by the arrow 94 and blow out the air as indicated by the arrow 95. An ion generator may be provided inside the blower 101, and the air may have a function of imparting ions. In the example shown in FIG. 25, air containing ions is emitted toward the indoor space 84. By so doing, the blower 101 can be used as an air purification device. Therefore, air blower 101 in the present embodiment can be used as a duvet dryer that can easily supply warm air evenly to the entire space between the comforter and the mattress, and for other uses. Can also be used.

  As shown in the present embodiment, the head receiving member 3 has the notch 7 having a width larger than the outer diameter of the hose 4, and the head 2 has the projecting portion 9 extending obliquely downward. Preferably, the hose 4 is connected to the projection 9 and in the second state, the projection 9 is inserted into the notch 7. By adopting this configuration, when the head 2 is accommodated in the head receiving member 3, the projecting portion 9 is inserted into the notch 7, so that the entire space can be efficiently used to make the whole compact.

  As shown in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the head receiving member 3 have a concave shape 27 and the head 2 have a convex shape 26 corresponding to the concave shape 27. By adopting this configuration, when the head 2 is accommodated in the head receiving member 3, the head receiving member 3 can contact with each other in a large area by the combination of the convex shape 26 and the concave shape 27. Can be stably supported.

Second Embodiment
(Constitution)
With reference to FIGS. 26-27, the air blower in Embodiment 2 based on this invention is demonstrated. The basic configuration of the blower 102 in the present embodiment is the same as the blower 101 described in the first embodiment. The external appearance of the blower 102 is shown in FIG.

  In the blower 102, the head receiving member 3 is in a first posture disposed along the upper portion of the main body 1 and on the side that can blow air in the second angle range 42 when the head 2 is in the second state. The corresponding one side can be in a second posture in which the one side is lifted from the upper part of the main body 1 and a third posture in which the one side is lifted larger than the second posture. When the blower 102 is in the first position, it does not differ from the appearance of the blower 101 shown in FIG. In FIG. 26, the blower 102 is in the second position. A state in which the blower 102 is in the third position is shown in FIG. The angle by which one side of the head 2 is lifted from the horizontal surface may be, for example, 0 °, 22.5 °, and 45 ° in the first attitude, the second attitude, and the third attitude, respectively. The size of the angle shown here is merely an example, and may be another angle.

  The reversible switching from the first posture to the third posture can be realized by adopting an angle switchable structure according to a known technique at the connection portion between the upper portion of the main body 1 and the head receiving member 3. Specifically, for example, in the second attitude and the third attitude, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the head 2 and the head receiving member 3 may be supported by the rib 38. The rib 38 may have a structure capable of adjusting and holding the angle. Since the hose 4 is generally formed of a flexible resin or the like, it may be difficult to endure the weight of the head 2 and the head receiving member 3 with only the self-holding force of the hose 4 itself. . Therefore, by adopting the rib 38 so as to support the head 2 and the head receiving member 3, it is possible to blow air while holding the attitude of the head 2 stably at a desired angle. By devising the shape of the rib 38, a plurality of angles can be selected, and the posture can be held at each selected angle. Even if the hose 4 is flexible, since the weight of the head 2 and the head receiving member 3 is supported by the rib 38, it is possible to prevent the attitude of the head 2 and the head receiving member 3 from being undesirably changed.

(Action / effect)
In the present embodiment, the blower device 102 can also take a second posture and a third posture in addition to the first posture, so that the blower 102 can also blow air obliquely upward as necessary. Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 28, air can be blown toward the clothes 83 suspended at a position higher than the air blower 102. Drying of the clothes 83 can be promoted by blowing dry or warm air from the blower 102 toward the clothes 83. That is, the blower 102 can be used as a clothes dryer. Which one of the first posture to the third posture should be taken may be appropriately selected depending on the position of the object to be dried. Generally, clothes are often hung in high positions, so it is convenient to be able to select the second or third position.

  In the present embodiment, the head receiving member 3 of the air blower can take three postures from the first posture to the third posture, but two postures, the first posture and the second posture, can be taken. It may be a structure that can take only one. The head receiving member 3 may be switchable in attitude in more than three stages.

Third Embodiment
(Constitution)
A blower according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 to 31. The basic configuration of the blower in the present embodiment is the same as the blower 101 described in the first embodiment or the blower 102 in the second embodiment.

  In the air blower in the present embodiment, the structure described below is provided on the back side of the main body 1. The perspective view of the state which removed the back cover 10 which covers a part of back surface of the main body 1 is shown in FIG. 29, and a back view is shown in FIG. FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view of the main body 1 with the back cover 10 removed, cut at a horizontal plane and viewed from above. The main body 1 has a front side 71 which is a side to which air is blown when the head 2 is in the second state, and a rear side 72 which is an opposite side of the front side 71. The main body 1 is provided with a hose accommodating portion 29. The hose accommodating portion 29 is a portion in which the hose 4 is accommodated when the head 2 is in the second state. The hose accommodating portion 29 is disposed so as to extend in the vertical direction inside the rear side 72.

  An outer shell member 17 is disposed inside the hose housing portion 29. The outer shell member 17 is a substantially cylindrical member. The end of the hose 4 opposite to the connector 45 (see FIGS. 14 and 15) is disposed inside the shell member 17. In FIG. 31, the end of the hose 4 can slide in the direction of the back of the drawing inside the shell member 17. As shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, the main body 1 has a suction port 14. The suction port 14 is disposed diagonally behind the center on the back side of the main body 1. The suction port 14 is provided away from the center because the hose storage portion 29 is disposed at the center. A mesh-like member is disposed at the suction port 14 in order to prevent the entry of foreign matter. The suction ports 14 are not provided symmetrically on the left and right of the main body 1, but are disposed on only one of the left and right. In the example shown in FIG. 29, the suction port 14 is provided on the left rear side of the main body 1. A storage space 15 is provided on the back side of the main body 1 on the side opposite to the suction port 14. That is, in this example, the storage space 15 is provided on the right rear side of the main body 1. In the storage space 15, replacement parts 16 are stored. The replacement part 16 may be, for example, any part that can be attached to the tip of the hose 4 instead of the head 2 and used. The replacement part 16 may be a part used for maintenance of the blower.

  Inside the main body 1, a motor 31 and a fan 32 are disposed. The operation of the motor 31 causes the fan 32 to rotate. As the fan 32 rotates, air is taken in from the suction port 14. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 etc., the outer suction port 13 of the back cover 10 is provided at a position corresponding to the suction port 14, so when the motor 31 is operated, as a result, through the outer suction port 13 External air is taken into the main body 1.

(Action / effect)
In the present embodiment, since the storage space 15 is provided by effectively utilizing the space inside the main body 1, it is possible to efficiently store the replacement part 16 and the like.

  As shown in the present embodiment, the main body 1 has the suction port 14 at a position away from the hose accommodation portion 29 on the rear side 72, and the main body 1 is a hose 4 for sucking the air sucked from the suction port 14. It is preferred to have a fan 32 feeding into. By adopting this configuration, external air can be taken in on the rear side 72 of the main body 1 and smoothly fed into the hose 4.

Embodiment 4
(Constitution)
A blower according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 32 to 33. The basic configuration of the air blower in the present embodiment is the same as the air blower described in any of the first to third embodiments.

  The air blower in the present embodiment has the following structure. The perspective view which shows the structure inside the main body 1 of the air blower in this Embodiment is shown in FIG. This structure is an assembly of several parts. The fan 32 (see FIG. 31) is housed in the fan housing portion 30. As the fan 32 rotates, air is pumped into the passage 34. The air sent to the passage 34 is further fed to the inside of the hose 4. The air fed into the inside of the hose 4 reaches the head 2 via the connector 45 and is further delivered to the outside from the outlet 22 of the head 2. A side view of the structure shown in FIG. 32 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 32 and FIG. 33, some members such as the shell member 17 are shown in a partially cutaway state for the convenience of description.

  The outer shell member 17 includes a lower overhang 35 and an upper overhang 36. The outer shell member 17 has a shape projecting inward at the lower side overhang 35 and the upper side overhang 36. The opening surrounded by the upper overhanging portion 36 is a second opening 28. The hose 4 penetrates the second opening 28.

  In the air blower in this embodiment, a cylindrical member 46 is connected to the end of the hose 4 opposite to the head 2. The main body 1 includes an outer shell member 17 having a cylindrical inner space having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 46 and longer than the axial dimension of the cylindrical member 46. The cylindrical member 46 is accommodated in the internal space of the shell member 17. The end of the outer shell member 17 closer to the head 2 of the hose 4 has a second opening 28 whose inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 46 and larger than the outer diameter of the hose 4. 32 and 33, the cylindrical member 46 is at the lowest position inside the shell member 17, and the lower end of the cylindrical member 46 is in contact with the lower overhang 35. By providing the lower overhanging portion 35, the lower limit of the movable range of the cylindrical member 46 is defined. In FIGS. 32 and 33, the cylindrical member 46 can not move downward. The state where the cylindrical member 46 slides up to the maximum is shown in FIG. 34 and FIG. The cylindrical member 46 can not pass through the second opening 28. The upper end of the cylindrical member 46 is in contact with the upper overhang 36. By providing the upper overhanging portion 36, the upper limit of the movable range of the cylindrical member 46 is defined. In FIGS. 34 and 35, the cylindrical member 46 can not move upward from this.

(Action / effect)
In the present embodiment, since the cylindrical member 46 is provided at the end of the hose 4 and is disposed so as to slide only in a limited section inside the outer shell member 17, the hose 4 is detached and removed Can be prevented. Since the cylindrical member 46 can slide in a certain section inside the outer shell member 17, when the hose 4 is drawn out long from the first opening 5, the cylindrical member 46 moves in the outer shell member 17. Thus, the length of the hose 4 coming out of the first opening 5 can be made longer. That is, the stroke of the so-called hose 4 can be made longer compared to the case where such a cylindrical member 46 and the outer shell member 17 are not provided. In other words, it is possible to allow the head 2 to reach farther from the main body 1.

  Although the end of the hose 4 has a structure in which the cylindrical member 46 is confined inside the shell member 17, since the cylindrical member 46 is not bonded to any part of the shell member 17, the hose 4 is attached to the hose 4. When a twisting movement is applied, the cylindrical member 46 can rotate inside the shell member 17, and the hose 4 can be rotated about the central axis of the cylindrical member 46 without any load on the hose 4. It can rotate even once. By allowing such rotation, it is possible to prevent the hose 4 or its peripheral members from being broken due to the twist of the hose 4.
