Abstract
A drying apparatus includes a main body composed of a front end frame and a rear end frame. A fan receiving part may be disposed on the upper end of the front end frame and protruding forward therefrom, and a fan assembly may be located in the fan receiving part. The open part may be disposed at the lower part of the fan receiving part of the front end frame, and the outlets may be located along the upper end edge and opposite edges of the open part. Air may be delivered to the outlets through the duct disposed at the main body.
Claims14
A drying apparatus comprising:
- a main body having an entrance hole through which air is introduced thereinto and front outlets disposed at a front surface of the main body through which the air is discharged;
- a fan assembly disposed at the main body to generate a flow of the air;
- and
- a duct communicating with the fan assembly to receive the flow of the air and having at least two flow paths to divide the flow of the air such that the divided flow of the air is delivered to the respective front outlets,
- wherein the front outlets communicate with second outlets disposed at the duct and allow the air delivered through the duct to be discharged from the front surface of the main body.
