Abstract

PURPOSE:To properly change the angle of a wind direction changing device by a user when a worker mounts a bathroom heating clothes dryer by mistaking the longitudinal and lateral directions by constituting the wind direction changing device in such a manner that it can be reinstalled after rotated around an axial line vertically extended to a base plate. CONSTITUTION:The air discharged from a hot air circulating multilayer disc fan 3 is made into a hot air through a heater 7, passed in a wind direction changing device 20, and blown into a bathroom. When the rotating shaft 11 of the wind direction changing device 20 is driven by a motor 12, a number of swash plates 13a-13c are rotated. Consequently, the direction of the hot air blown into the bathroom is fluctuatingly changed within the vertical surface including the rotating shaft 11. When a worker mounts a bathroom heating clothes dryer on the ceiling of the bathroom by mistaking the longitudinal and lateral directions, clothes are never exposed to the hot air because the rotating shaft 11 is orthogonal to the extending direction of a wash-line pole, and the drying efficiency is lowered. In this case, after the wind direction changing device 20 is rotated by a required angle to a base plate 8 by a user, it is reinstalled.
