It is the structure which floats through this ventilation means, for example, the dryer 7, and also floats this path | route.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an air route. This aerial path 2 is formed by winding a wire to form a spiral coil 21 having a predetermined length and exhibiting a tubular appearance, and a plurality of annular wires arranged on a flexible wire 22a arbitrarily bent and deformed via attachment portions 22b. There are two types consisting of body 22. The aerial path 2 composed of the spiral coil 21 forms an arbitrarily curved pipe line up and down and left and right as long as an appropriate position is maintained, and the path configuration is very flexible and the ventilation state with the inside is also good. is there.
In addition, the air passage 2 composed of the annular body 22 has a good ventilation state, but the degree of freedom of route setting is extremely higher than that of the spiral coil 21, and the entire route as a kind of obstacle. It also demonstrates the ability to raise and lower the difficulty level.

The aerial path 2 is supported by the holding means 3 so as to form an arbitrary path in the air. This holding means 3 has a support column 32 erected substantially at the center of a disk-shaped base 31 placed on the floor, and a bar-like support 33 is horizontally formed on the upper side surface of the support column 32 in this embodiment. Then, it is arranged in three stages. This support 33 is bent slightly upward at both ends.
Further, the support body 33 of the present embodiment is fixed to the support column 32 and further has a shorter upper arrangement side, but each support body 33 may be configured to rotate about the support column 32, The length of the support body 33 and the number of the support bodies 33 can be appropriately changed as long as the spiral coil 21 and the flexible wire 22a of the air path 2 can be supported.

  The method of supporting the air passage 2 by the holding means 3 having the above configuration is as follows. First, the plurality of holding means 3 are arranged on a floor surface or a horizontal surface such as a table.
