Abstract
A station for rinsing and drying at least one foot of a user, comprising: an opening at a small distance from the ground, which is dimensioned so as to allow at least one foot of a user to pass through and is defined by at least two edges positioned approximately in a first plane that forms an angle of greater than 30° with the ground; a rinsing device comprising at least one pair of first and second rinsing nozzles which are configured to spray a stream of water; a drying device comprising at least one pair of first and second drying nozzles which are configured to eject a stream of air; the rinsing and drying nozzles being positioned at the edges so as to clean and dry all the surfaces of the foot when the foot passes through the opening.

A station for rinsing and drying at least one foot of a user, the station comprising:
- a rinsing area positioned at ground level and sized to contain at least one foot of a user,
- at least one structure mounted on the rinsing area,
- a rinsing device including at least one pair of rinsing nozzles comprising a first rinsing nozzle and a second rinsing nozzle configured to project a flow of water respectively in first and second flow of water directions,
- a drying device including at least one pair of drying nozzles comprising a first drying nozzle and a second drying nozzle configured to project a flow of air respectively in first and second flow of air directions,
- wherein the at least one structure includes an opening delimited by at least two edges positioned approximately in a first plane forming an angle greater than 30° with the rinsing area and on either side of a second plane, the opening being sized to allow the passage of at least one foot of a user and at a short distance from the rinsing area, and
- wherein the first rinsing nozzle and the first drying nozzles are positioned at a level of a first edge of the opening and the second rinsing nozzle and the second drying nozzle are positioned at a level of a second edge of the opening,
- wherein the first flow of water direction, the second flow of water direction, the first flow of air direction, and the second flow of air direction forming, with the first plane, an angle less than 60°, the first flow of air direction and the first flow of water direction having a component in a direction of the second edge, the second flow of air direction and the second flow of water direction having a component in a direction of the first edge.
