The equation sector 47 is set to also serve as a position limit switch for the distributor main body 41. sensor 47
As such, a contact switch using the sector peripheral portion 46b as a contact or any other suitable type may be used. On the other hand, an output shaft 51 of a drive mechanism 50 is fitted and integrated into the hollow lower part 45a of the lower shaft 45, so that when the motor built in the mechanism 50 rotates, the distributor main body 4 moves the outer peripheral surface 41a. It is made to be able to rotate and slide as long as it is in close contact with the peripheral edge 29a of the vertically long slit 29. still,
In the figure, Dr is a drain receiver.

A drain pipe 60 is provided from the drain receiver Dr to drain water into the shower room Sh.

As shown in FIG. 2, the distributor main body 41 has connecting branch pipes 48 as hot air inlets protruding from one side at predetermined intervals, and vertical hot air outlets 49 on the other side.
... are formed in an appropriate number, and warm air is supplied to each branch pipe 48 from a ceramic heater with a fan (not shown) via the flexible hose Fa.

The air outlet 49 does not always face the shower chamber Sh and is stopped at the S position shown in FIG. 3.

When the switch of the body dryer is turned on, the motor of the drive mechanism 50 rotates to the left, and accordingly, the distributor body 41 rotates to the left, and the hot air outlet 49 formed in the body dryer 41 rotates to the left. Also, for example, the third point indicates the left limit of the reciprocating rotation.

4 rotates integrally, and the sector 46 fixed thereto also rotates, causing a relative angular displacement between it and the sensor 47. When the motor is moved from the S position to the L position in FIG. 3, the limit function is activated, the polarity of the motor is reversed, and the above rotation direction is reversed. By rotating the distributor main body 41 in the opposite direction, the hot air outlet 49 moves from the l position to the r position in FIG.
6, the sensor at the R position is reversed, the polarity of the motor is reversed again, and the air outlet is moved to the L position. By repeating this operation, the distributor main body 4
1 hot air outlet 49 faces the slit 29
It rotates back and forth between the position and the l position, and the warm air supplied from the flexible hose Fa is effectively sent into the shower room Sh. When the body dryer switch is turned off, the air blowing from the ceramic heater with fan is stopped. At the same time, the motor rotates to the right and the air outlet moves to the S position, but when the sensor 47 at the S position detects the sector 46, the rotation is stopped.

According to the above embodiment, in the shower room unit U in which the lower part of the integrally molded side wall unit 2 is received by the floor pan 1 and the upper part is covered by the ceiling booth 3 to define the shower room Sh, the side wall unit 2 is A vertically long slit 29 is formed, and the air outlet of the dryer D, which can be controlled from the indoor side, faces the outdoor side of the slit 29, so that after a shower, the outdoor dryer D can be controlled from the indoor side. The air from the dryer D can be sent to the shower room Sh through the vertical slit 29, and since the dryer D is placed outside, the air blowing capacity can be relatively large, and therefore the humidity in the shower room Sh can be effectively reduced. Moreover, since the slit 29 is vertically elongated, the air is brought into contact with the user's body without waste, and even wet bodies can be dried.

In the above description, the amount and temperature of the dry air sent from the slit 29 to the shower room Sh are arbitrary, and the dry air does not necessarily have to be warm air in summer or the like.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the shower room is defined by having the lower part of the integrally molded side wall unit supported by the floor pan and the upper part covered by the ceiling booth. In this unit, a vertically elongated slit approximately equal to the height of a human being is formed in the side wall unit, and the air outlet of the dryer, which can be controlled more freely than the indoor side, faces the outdoor side of this slit. By controlling the dryer, the air from the dryer can be sent into the room through the vertical slit.
In addition, since the dryer is installed externally, it has a relatively large air blowing capacity, which not only effectively reduces indoor humidity, but also because the slits are vertically long.
The air is brought into contact with the human body without waste, and many effects such as drying the wet body can be obtained.
