ABSTRACT:
A hand drying apparatus includes a main body box case1that has a hand inserting portion3formed in a concave shape at an upper portion; a high-pressure airflow generator2that generates high-pressure airflows and is included in the main body box case; and a front side air nozzle6aand a back side air nozzle6bthat eject the high-pressure airflows generated by the high-pressure airflow generator2into the hand inserting portion3and face each other. The front side air nozzle6aand the back side air nozzle6bare formed by a plurality of slit-shaped ejecting holes7arranged in a line, respectively, and both or any one of lengths and arranging intervals of the slit-shaped ejecting holes7is different between a front side and a back side. A hand drying apparatus that can prevent noise and realize high drying performance and excellent usability without employing a complicated construction is obtained.
