Abstract
A dehumidifying element includes: a layered body in which a plurality of sheets supporting an adsorbent that dehumidifies air are stacked on one another, with gaps provided between adjacent ones of the plurality of sheets, the gaps allowing air to pass therethrough; a casing that holds the layered body; and a cushioning member provided between the casing and the layered body in a stacking direction in which the plurality of sheets are stacked on one another, the cushioning member being configured to expand and contract.

A dehumidifying element comprising:
- a layered body in which a plurality of sheets supporting an adsorbent that dehumidifies air are stacked on one another, with gaps provided between adjacent ones of the plurality of sheets, the gaps allowing air to pass therethrough;
- a casing that holds the layered body;
- and
- a cushioning member provided between the casing and the layered body in a stacking direction in which the plurality of sheets are stacked on one another, the cushioning member being configured to expand and contract.
A method of manufacturing a dehumidifying element, the method comprising:
- preparing a layered body in which a plurality of sheets supporting an adsorbent that dehumidifies air are stacked on one another;
- setting the layered body in a casing that holds the layered body;
- and
- setting a cushioning member configured to expand and contract, between the casing and the layered body in a stacking direction in which the plurality of sheets are stacked on one another.
