Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bedding dryer. Background Technology

[0002] The following patent documents 1 and 2 relate to the technology of bedding dryers.

[0003] Patent document 1 describes a drying device, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the drying device includes a movable unit, which is a component that lifts the quilt being dried to expand the space through which heated air can reach.

[0004] And it contains the following information: such as Figure 5 As shown in (a) and (b), in normal use, the movable unit 152 is positioned along the nozzle unit 151. Then, the movable unit 152 is rotated away from the nozzle unit 151, and the movable unit 152 comes into direct contact with the item to be dried 801, thereby lifting the item to be dried 801.

[0005] The following is described in Patent Document 2.

[0006] As shown in Figure 9, a cover portion 50 is supported by a cylindrical handle 40 and a support mechanism 33 (Figure 25) between the mattress 90 and the quilt 92, forming a sufficiently large space S around the cover portion 50. In this state, warm air is blown towards this space S through the flow path between the partition walls 83 and 84. Therefore, the warm air can reach every corner of the mattress 90 and the quilt 92, resulting in a more efficient drying effect in a shorter time compared to existing technologies.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 The diagram shows the bedding dryer F in its usage state according to the embodiment. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the drying process of bedding on the bed in steps 8 and 9.

[0042] The bedding dryer F in the embodiment is used for drying and heating bedding 8 and 9.

[0043] Figure 2A The image shows a 3D view of the quilt dryer F in its stowed state.

[0044] The bedding dryer F of the embodiment has a structure that allows the box-shaped drying unit 1 used for drying bedding 8, 9, etc. to be easily stored inside the dryer body 21.

[0045] Figure 2BThe image shows a perspective view of the bedding dryer F in its unused state.

[0046] like Figure 2B As shown, the bedding dryer F has a structure that is easy to store and carry when not in use.

[0047] Figure 1 The dryer body 21 shown has a roughly cubic (hexahedral, cuboid) shape to achieve stability so that it will not easily tip over when using the bedding dryer F. Therefore, the dryer body 21 can be used in both horizontal and vertical positions.

[0048] like Figure 2A As shown, when the bedding dryer F is not in use, the hose 12 and the drying unit 1 are stored inside the dryer body 21. Furthermore, the dryer body 21 can be placed vertically or horizontally.

[0049] The dryer body 21 includes a fan (air supply section, not shown) that generates airflow, a motor (air supply section, not shown) that drives the fan, and a heater (heating section, not shown) that turns the airflow from the fan into warm air. Furthermore, the dryer body 21 includes a control section that controls the fan, motor, and heater.

[0050] The control unit has a microcomputer for executing control programs, a motor drive control circuit, a heater control circuit, sensor circuits, and other peripheral circuits.

[0051] Since the drying unit 1 is housed within the aforementioned dryer body 21, it has a forked shape, for example, in a manner that does not interfere with the components within the dryer body 21 (see reference). Figure 1 ).

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, when the bedding 8 and 9 on the bed are dried by the bedding dryer F, the dryer body 21 is placed longitudinally, and the bedding is removed from the dryer body 21 (refer to...) Figure 2A The plug cp of the power cord C, which extends from the lower corner of the unit, is inserted into a power socket (not shown). Then, by pressing the operation switch 21b of the operation unit 21s, the desired drying operation mode is started, and warm air is blown from the outlets (2o, 2a1, 2a2, 2b1~2b4, 3o, 3a1, 3a2, 3b1~3b4) of the drying unit 1 (see reference). Figure 3 , Figure 4 Warm air blows out.

[0053] <External assembly of dryer body 21>

[0054] exist Figure 2AAn operation unit 21s is arranged at the upper front of the dryer body 21 shown. The operation unit 21s has a display device 21h and multiple operation switches 21b (21b1, 21b2, ...).

[0055] Behind the operating section 21s of the dryer body 21, there is a handle 24 for holding when moving the dryer body 21 and an opening and closing cover 25 for opening and closing the inside of the dryer body 21 (see reference). Figure 2B ).

[0056] An air intake (not shown) for drawing in air from the drying chamber is provided on the rear surface of the dryer body 21. A filter (not shown) is provided in front of the intake to remove dust and other contaminants from the air in the chamber.

[0057] <Drying Unit 1>

[0058] Figure 3 The figure shows a perspective view of the drying unit 1 of the bedding dryer F.

[0059] Figure 4 The middle shows Figure 3 The I direction is the view.

[0060] Figure 5 The middle shows Figure 3 View in direction II.

[0061] The drying unit 1 has a ventilation space 3P formed in the center of its bifurcated shape on one side. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the other end of the drying unit 1 is connected to the flexible hose 12 in a box-shaped form.

[0062] When viewed from above, the drying unit 1 is formed into a flat box shape with a forked shape (box shape), and is composed of synthetic resin, resin-impregnated cloth fibers, etc.

[0063] The drying unit 1 has a support leg 2 on one side, a support leg 3 on the other side, and a base 4. For example... Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the drying unit 1 is formed by connecting the upper shell (4c1, 2c1, 3c1) and the lower shell (4c2, 2c2, 3c2) with bolts or the like (details will be explained below). The upper shell (4c1, 2c1, 3c1) and the lower shell (4c2, 2c2, 3c2) are connected by bolts or the like, making assembly and disassembly easy.

[0064] For example, the root 4 is formed by using bolts or the like to join the upper shell 4c1 and the lower shell 4c2.

[0065] Furthermore, the top of one of the support legs 2 has a downward-sloping shape 2k.

[0066] Similarly, the top of the other support leg 3 has a downward-sloping shape 3k.

[0067] The downward-sloping 2k and 3k support the quilt 8 and create a space P for warm air expansion between the mattress 9 and the quilt 8.

[0068] One of the support legs 2 has a root side support leg 2a and a top side support leg 2b. The root side support leg 2a is formed by connecting the upper shell 2c1 and the lower shell 2c2 using bolts or the like.

[0069] The other support leg 3 has a root side support leg 3a and a top side support leg 3b. The root side support leg 3a is formed by connecting the upper shell 3c1 and the lower shell 3c2 using bolts or the like.

[0070] One support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are respectively operated by the user as... Figure 3 The structure slides and extends as indicated by arrow α11.

[0071] The legs 2 and 3 have the following structure for telescopic extension.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, on the top side of the support leg 2b of one side, a pair of guide rails 2br with concave cross-sections and extending along the length direction are formed on the upper and lower surface sides.

[0073] Furthermore, on the inner surface of the root side support 2a of the support 2, and on the upper and lower surfaces, there is a pair of cylindrical convex guided portions 2ah that are fitted and slid (slid) with the guide rails 2br of the top side support 2b.

[0074] Similarly, on the top side support leg 3b of the other support leg 3, a pair of guide rails 3br with concave cross-sections and extending along the length direction of the top side support leg 3b are formed on the upper and lower surface sides.

[0075] Furthermore, on the inner surface of the root side support 3a of the support 3, and on the upper and lower surfaces, there is a pair of cylindrical convex guided portions 3ar that are fitted and slide (slid) with the guide rails 3br of the top side support 3b.

[0076] According to this structure, in one of the support legs 2, the cylindrical guided portion 2ah of the root-side support leg 2a can extend and retract by a stroke length that slides within the concave guide rail 2br of the top-side support leg 2b.

[0077] Similarly, in the other leg 3, the cylindrical guided portion 3ar of the root-side leg 3a can extend and retract by a stroke length that slides within the concave track 3br of the top-side leg 3b.

[0078] Based on the above structure, one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 will not droop, allowing for smooth extension and retraction. Figure 3 Arrow α11).

[0079] An opening 4a is provided in the center of the root 4 of the drying unit 1 on the side opposite to the support legs 2 and 3 (see reference). Figure 2A When using the bedding dryer F, a hose connection port 12a is installed at one end of the hose 12 at the opening 4a at the root 4 (see reference). Figure 2A , Figure 12 ).

[0080] The hose connector 12a is a connector used to supply airflow from the hose 12 to the drying unit 1. The hose connector 12a functions as a connecting fitting that connects the circular opening of the hose 12 to the rectangular opening 4a of the drying unit 1. The hose connector 12a is, for example, made of synthetic resin.

[0081] Figure 6A The image shows a top view of the drying unit 1 of the bedding dryer F, viewed from above.

[0082] Figure 6B The image shows a bottom view of the drying unit 1 of the bedding dryer F, viewed from below.

[0083] The support leg 2 on one side and the support leg 3 on the other side are configured to be movable in the horizontal direction with the root 4 as the center. Figure 6A , Figure 6B Arrow β1).

[0084] like Figure 6A As shown, one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are configured to move horizontally by an angle θ relative to the center line OO of the root 4 when viewed from above. θ is in the range of -5° to 35°. The support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 can be set within the range of θ = -5° to 35°, thereby enabling optimal drying and warming of bedding for sizes ranging from large to small.

[0085] θ = 0° is the position in which one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are straight without tilting. In other words, θ = 0° is the case where one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are parallel to the center line OO of the drying unit 1.

[0086] Since the support leg 2 on one side and the support leg 3 on the other side can be variable in the horizontal direction at an angle θ, it will not affect the weight of the bedding 8 and 9 in the vertical direction.

[0087] <Use when the angle θ of one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 is variable>

[0088] The drying unit 1 in the embodiment is configured to be set to three stages: θ = -3°, 7°, and 30°.

[0089] Figure 7 The image shows a top view with one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 set to θ = -3°.

[0090] If the support leg 2 on one side and the support leg 3 on the other side are set to θ = -3° respectively, the mattress 9 can be grasped to achieve drying and heating, which is suitable for the mattress 9.

[0091] Figure 8A The image shows a perspective view of the mattress 9 being dried using a mattress dryer F.

[0092] Figure 8B The middle shows Figure 8A A magnified view of the VI direction.

[0093] When using a bedding dryer F to dry the mattress 9, the mattress 9 is clamped between one support leg 3 and the other support leg 4, with an angle of θ = -3°. Then, a quilt 8 is placed on top of the clamped mattress 9. This allows the mattress 9 to be dried by using one support leg 3 and the other support leg 4, both set to θ = -3°, to be inserted tightly and pressed against the mattress 9. Because the mattress 9 is clamped between the support legs 3 and 4 at an angle of θ = -3°, the drying effect is greater.

[0094] In addition, the warm air O discharged from the drying unit 1 removes moisture from the bed surface Y.

[0095] Figure 9A The image shows a top view with one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 set to θ = 7°.

[0096] If one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are each set to θ = 7°, the opening of the support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 becomes narrower, making it suitable for drying and heating narrower areas. For example, it is suitable for drying and heating single quilts and infant quilts.

[0097] Figure 9B The image shows a top view with one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 set to θ = 30°.

[0098] If one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are each set to θ = 30°, the opening of the support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 becomes wider, making it suitable for drying and heating a wider area. For example, it is suitable for drying and heating double quilts and semi-double quilts.

[0099] Currently, drying double, semi-double, and single quilts takes approximately 20 minutes. However, in the quilt dryer F of this embodiment, at θ = 30°, this time can be reduced to approximately 8 minutes. That is, it has been confirmed that the quilt dryer F has a drying time reduction effect of 15 minutes.

[0100] <Warm air outlet of drying unit 1>

[0101] As described above, the drying unit 1 has a pair of legs 2 and 3 extending along the length of the elongated box shape on both sides of the ventilation space 3P.

[0102] like Figure 3 As shown, the drying unit 1 has a pair of elongated legs 2 and 3 on one side, thereby forming a warm air blowing space 3P near its center, which serves as a space for blowing warm air O onto the bedding 8 and 9. Therefore, a larger volume of warm air O (see reference) can be blown onto the bedding (8 and 9) near the center of the drying unit 1. Figure 5 It can promote the drying and warming of bedding (8 and 9).

[0103] The warm air outlet for blowing warm air O from drying unit 1 is formed as follows.

[0104] Front warm air outlets 2o and 3o are formed on the front surfaces of the pair of support legs 2 and 3 of the drying unit 1 (see reference). Figure 6B The front warm air outlets 2o and 3o are outlined by inclined shapes 2k and 3k, respectively. In other words, the front warm air outlets 2o and 3o are formed along the displacement surface S (refer to) where the drying unit 1 is placed. Figure 3 It has rectangular holes with a downward-sloping shape of 2k and 3k in the direction of ) .

[0105] The front warm air outlets 2o and 3o are formed with downward-sloping rectangular holes in the left-right direction (along the direction of the replacement surface S), thereby allowing warm air O to be blown out from the front warm air outlets 2o and 3o in an expanded left-right direction extending from the quilt (8, 9). Utilizing the inclined shapes 2k and 3k of the front warm air outlets 2o and 3o, warm air O can be supplied within the quilt (8, 9) in a space that is expanded. Furthermore, the inclined shapes 2k and 3k easily create space between the quilt 8 and the quilt 9, allowing for the heating of both the quilt 9 and the quilt 8. Therefore, the drying of the quilt 8 and 9 in the left-right direction of the front warm air outlets 2o and 3o can be promoted.

[0106] exist Figure 5The drying unit 1 shown has a concave warm air outlet 4b formed at the root of the central recess edge of the ventilation space 3P formed between a pair of support legs 2 and 3. The concave warm air outlet 4b is a hole that is longer to the left and right, so that warm air O can be blown into the ventilation space 3P formed in the center of the drying unit 1 in a lateral direction. The concave warm air outlet 4b is formed by a slit 4b1 and an opening 4b2.

[0107] At the top side support 2b located on the ventilation space 3P side, an upper inner front air outlet 2b1 with a partial opening on the upper surface and a lower inner front air outlet 2b2 with a partial opening on the lower surface are formed in a shape that is longer in the horizontal direction. The upper inner front air outlet 2b1 and the lower inner front air outlet 2b2 are respectively formed into vertical slits 2b11 and 2b21. The upper inner front air outlet 2b1 and the lower inner front air outlet 2b2 are formed separately, thereby ensuring the strength of the top side support 2b.

[0108] Similarly, at the top side support 3b located on the ventilation space 3P side, an upper inner front air outlet 3b1 with a partial opening on the upper surface and a lower inner front air outlet 3b2 with a partial opening on the lower surface are formed in a shape that is longer in the horizontal direction. The upper inner front air outlet 3b1 and the lower inner front air outlet 3b2 are formed in the shape of vertical slits 3b11 and 3b21, respectively. The upper inner front air outlet 3b1 and the lower inner front air outlet 3b2 are formed separately, thereby ensuring the strength of the top side support 3b.

[0109] In this way, upper inner front air outlets 2b1 and 3b1 and lower inner front air outlets 2b2 and 3b2 are formed at the top side support legs 2b and 3b located on the ventilation space 3P side, which can supply warm air O to the ventilation space 3P more widely.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, on the outer side of the top side support 2b of the drying unit 1, a pair of side upper warm air outlets 2b3 with partial openings on the upper surface and side lower warm air outlets 2b4 with partial openings on the lower surface are formed in a shape that is longer in the length direction (along the direction of the replacement surface S).

[0111] The upper side warm air outlet 2b3 is shaped as a vertical slit 2b31. The lower side warm air outlet 2b4 is shaped as a vertical slit 2b41.

[0112] like Figure 3 As shown, on the outer side of the top side support 3b of the drying unit 1, a pair of side upper warm air outlets 3b3 with partial openings on the upper surface and side lower warm air outlets 3b4 with partial openings on the lower surface are formed in a longer shape in the longitudinal direction (along the direction of the replacement surface S).

[0113] The upper side warm air outlet 3b3 is shaped as a vertical slit 3b31. The lower side warm air outlet 3b4 is shaped as a vertical slit 3b41.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, on the outer side of the root side support 2a of the drying unit 1, a pair of side upper warm air outlets 2a1 and side lower warm air outlets 2a2 are formed in a shape that is longer in the length direction (along the direction of the replacement surface S).

[0115] The upper side warm air outlet 2a1 is shaped as a vertical slit 2a11. The lower side warm air outlet 2a2 is shaped as a vertical slit 2a21. In other words, the pair of upper side warm air outlets 2a1 and lower side warm air outlets 2a2 on the outer side of the root side support 2a are shaped as vertical slits 2a11 and 2a21 to prevent the user's fingers from entering. Therefore, it prevents the user's fingers from accidentally entering the slit-shaped upper side warm air outlet 2a11 and slit-shaped lower side warm air outlet 2a2 of the root side support 2a. For example, the width of each slit 2a11 and 2a21 is set to 5 mm or less.

[0116] Here, the upper side warm air outlet 2a1 and the lower side warm air outlet 2a2 on the root side are formed with a smaller area than the upper side warm air outlet 2b3 and the lower side warm air outlet 2b4 on the top side, so as not to excessively discharge warm air O from the root side.

[0117] like Figure 3 As shown, on the outer side of the root side support 3a of the drying unit 1, a pair of side upper warm air outlets 3a1 and side lower warm air outlets 3a2 are formed in a shape that is longer in the length direction (along the direction of the replacement surface S).

[0118] The upper side air outlet 3a1 is shaped as a vertical slit 3a11. The lower side air outlet 3a2 is shaped as a vertical slit 3a21. In other words, the pair of upper and lower side air outlets 3a1 and 3a2 on the outer side of the root side support 3a are shaped as vertical slits 3a11 and 3a21 to prevent the user's fingers from entering. Therefore, it prevents the user's fingers from accidentally entering the slit-shaped upper and lower side air outlets 3a11 and 3a21 of the root side support 3a. For example, the width of each slit 3a11 and 3a21 is set to 5 mm or less.

[0119] Here, the upper side warm air outlet 3a1 and the lower side warm air outlet 3a2 on the root side are formed with a smaller area than the upper side warm air outlet 3b3 and the lower side warm air outlet 3b4 on the top side, so as not to excessively discharge warm air O from the root side.

[0120] <Setting structure of support legs 2 and 3 at -3°, 7°, and 30°>

[0121] Since the variable configurations of the support leg 2 and the support leg 3 relative to the root 4 at -3°, 7° and 30° are the same, the configurations of the support leg 2 and the root 4 will be described, while the configurations of the support leg 3 and the root 4 will be omitted.

[0122] like Figure 3 As shown, the root side support 2a of the support 2 is formed by connecting the upper shell 2c1 and the lower shell 2c2 together using bolts or the like.

[0123] Figure 10A The image shows a bottom view of the root side support 2a of the support 2.

[0124] Figure 10B The middle shows Figure 10A Enlarged view of the V section.

[0125] On the upper shell 2c1 of the root side support 2a, a first stepped protrusion 6 and a second stepped protrusion 7 are formed protruding downwards. A bolt insertion hole 6a is formed through the center of the first stepped protrusion 6. A bolt insertion hole 7a is formed through the center of the second stepped protrusion 7.

[0126] The lower shell 2c2 of the root lateral support 2a (refer to) Figure 3 The first stepped protrusion 6 is embedded in a first protrusion (not shown). The first protrusion is threaded with internal threads for threaded fixing of the bolt, and the bolt is embedded in the bolt insertion hole 6a of the first stepped protrusion 6.

[0127] Furthermore, the lower shell 2c2 of the root side support 2a is provided with a second protrusion (not shown) into which a second stepped protrusion 7 is embedded. The second protrusion is threaded with internal threads for bolt threading, and the bolt is embedded in the bolt insertion hole 7a of the second stepped protrusion 7.

[0128] like Figure 10B As shown, a straight, convex rib 10 is formed along the length of the upper shell 2c1 adjacent to the second step protrusion 7 of the upper shell 2c1.

[0129] The convex rib 10 is used to set the support leg 2 to various angles of -3°, 7°, and 30°.

[0130] Figure 11AThe image shows a perspective view of the root portion 4 after one of the support legs 2 has been removed from the drying unit 1, and the other support leg 3 installed on the root portion 4, viewed from above.

[0131] Figure 11B The middle shows Figure 11A Enlarged view of section VI.

[0132] On one side of the support leg 2 on the mounting side of the root 4, a first hole 4h1 with a round hole and a second hole 4h2 with a fan-shaped elongated hole are formed. Similarly, on one side of the support leg 3 on the other side of the root 4, a first hole (not shown) with a round hole and a second hole (not shown) with a fan-shaped elongated hole are formed.

[0133] Near the second hole 4h2 of the root portion 4, there are recessed straight grooves 4m1, 4m2 and 4m3 extending along the length of one of the support portions 2. Similarly, near the second hole (not shown) of the root portion 4, there are recessed straight grooves 4m1, 4m2 and 4m3 extending along the length of the other support portion 3.

[0134] The first groove 4m1 is where the convex rib 10 of the root side support foot 2a is embedded and, as... Figure 7 The groove shown positions one of the support legs 2 at a position of -3°.

[0135] The second groove 4m2 is where the convex rib 10 of the root side support 2a is embedded and, as... Figure 9A The groove shown positions one of the support legs 2 at a 7° position.

[0136] The third groove 4m3 is where the convex rib 10 of the root side support foot 2a is embedded and, as... Figure 9B The groove shown positions one of the support legs 2 at a 30° position.

[0137] <Assembly of legs 2 and 3 relative to root 4 and setting methods for -3°, 7°, and 30°>

[0138] According to the above structure, the first hole 4h1 of the circular hole in the root 4, the second hole 4h2 of the fan-shaped elongated hole, and the first groove 4m1 are respectively inserted from the upper side of the root side support 2a into the first stepped protrusion 6, the second stepped protrusion 7, and the convex rib 10 of the upper shell 2c1 of the root side support 2a from the upper side of the root 4. And from the lower side of the root 4, the first protrusion and the second protrusion of the lower shell 2c1 of the root side support 2a are respectively inserted into the first hole 4h1 and the second hole 4h2 that respectively penetrate the root 4 (refer to...). Figure 11B The first step protrusion 6 and the second step protrusion 7 are shown after the first step.

[0139] Furthermore, a bolt is inserted into the bolt through-hole 6a of the upper shell 2c1 of the root side support 2a from above and threaded onto the internal thread of the first protrusion of the lower shell 2c1. Also, a bolt is inserted into the bolt through-hole 7a of the upper shell 2c1 of the root side support 2a from above and threaded onto the internal thread of the second protrusion of the lower shell 2c1. Thus, as... Figure 7 As shown, one of the support legs 2 can be set at a position of -3°.

[0140] In this way, the support leg 2 of one side rotates around the first stepped protrusion 6 in the first hole 4h1 embedded in the root 4.

[0141] Similarly, the other leg 2 is set in Figure 7 The position shown is -3°.

[0142] When setting one of the support legs 2 as Figure 9A In the case shown at 7°, the user holds the root 4 and the root-side support 2a, and the convex rib 10 of the root-side support 2a (see reference) Figure 10B From the root 4, the first groove 4m1 (refer to) Figure 11B Remove and insert into the second groove 4m2. Similarly, the user holds the root 4 and the other root side support 3a, removes the convex rib of the root side support 3a from the first groove of the root 4 and inserts it into the second groove.

[0143] Therefore, it is possible to Figure 9A As shown, one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are positioned at θ = 7°.

[0144] When setting one of the support legs 2 as Figure 9B In the 30° case shown, the user holds the root 4 and the root-side support 2a, and the convex rib 10 of the root-side support 2a (see reference) Figure 10B From the root 4, the second groove 4m2 (refer to) Figure 11B Remove and insert into the third groove 4m3. Similarly, the user holds the root 4 and the other root side support 3a, removes the convex rib of the root side support 3a from the second groove of the root 4 and inserts it into the third groove.

[0145] Therefore, it is possible to Figure 9B As shown, one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are positioned at θ = 30°.

[0146] According to this structure, when one support leg 2 and the other support leg 3 are set to -3°, 7° and 30° respectively, a clicking sensation can be felt.

[0147] <Using the Bedding Dryer F>

[0148] When using the bedding dryer F, the user turns on... Figure 2B The opening and closing cover 25 of the bedding dryer F shown is thus made Figure 2A The state. Then, the user from Figure 2A The drying unit 1 is removed from the main body 21 of the dryer shown.

[0149] Figure 12 The image shows a perspective view of the state in which the hose 12 is connected to the drying unit 1.

[0150] The user holds the drying unit 1 with one hand and the hose connection port 12a on one end of the connecting hose 12 with the other hand, and fits the hose connection port 12a into the rectangular opening 4a of the drying unit 1.

[0151] Therefore, a flexible hose 12 is connected to the drying unit 1.

[0152] Then, Figure 2A The plug cp at the top of the power cord C shown is connected to a power socket. Since the other end of the hose 12 is connected to the dryer body 21, the operating part 21s of the dryer body 21 (see reference) can be used to access the dryer.
