Patent ID: 8712279

Claim:
A warm air generating apparatus comprising: a blowing apparatus for generating an air flow in a predetermined direction; a heating member disposed on a flow path of said air flow for heating air, the heating member having a first temperature detected surface and a second temperature detected surface each provided for detecting temperatures; a first temperature detection member that has a first heat sensing portion and detects a temperature of said heating member; a second temperature detection member that has a second heat sensing portion and detects a temperature of said heating member; a support member for rigidly supporting the first temperature detection member and elastically supporting the second temperature detection member; a first biasing member that causes said first heat sensing portion to contact the first temperature detected surface by biasing said support member and that causes the second temperature detection member to be disposed at a position on the second temperature detected surface; and a second biasing member mounted on said support member for applying a biasing force that causes said second heat sensing portion to contact the second temperature detected surface.
