ABSTRACT:
A drying device has a blower, a motor for driving the blower, a switch for actuating the blower motor unit, and the heating elements in the duct supplying the blower. The air supplied is received by an air towel having an open upper edge, a back wall, a front wall, and tapering side walls. Air exits the air towel from a slot disposed in the front wall of the enclosure member. The rear wall of the enclosure member also tapers gradually toward the bottom-most portion of the slot, as do the side walls of the enclosure member, so that, with diminishing volume enclosed by the enclosure member, a generally uniform air velocity of air flow outward from the slot along the vertical length thereof. The air is directed downwardly generally at a 45.degree. angle. Also, a flexible hose having a nozzle has an end in communication with the air supplied; the end in communication with the air supply penetrates a side wall of the enclosure member to receive air from the enclosure member. This permits hand manipulation of the flexible hose and nozzle to supply additional air at any desired location within the reach of the flexible hose. Upstanding flanges are provided to protrude beyond a wall or flush to the wall, so that the enclosure member can be concealed behind the wall while leaving only an aesthetic slot opening and the flexible hose visible, as well as an enclosure member portion which directly lies behind the flexible hose.
