Since the air path, which is arranged directly above blowout port 14 and has a long air-path length, has a narrow width, and the air path, which is located far from blowout port 14 and has a short air-path length, has a wide width, the difference of the air flow flowing in each air path located closer to first air path 1 j having much inflow air flow is decreased due to the relationship to blowout port 14 of fan 13 .
