Abstract:
A hand dryer includes an air-stream generating device including a device air inlet, an inner housing that accommodates therein the air-stream generating device and has an inner air inlet formed in an intake surface thereof, and an outer housing that accommodates therein the inner housing and the air-stream generating device and has an outer air inlet formed therein. An intake air passage that connects the outer air inlet and the device air inlet to each other is formed inside the outer housing to include the intake surface and an opposing surface as a portion of a wall surface thereof, and a projection is provided on the opposing surface to project from a region that is opposed to the inner air inlet towards the intake surface. The projection has a first surface facing an upstream side in the intake air passage.

Claim (Index 1):
A hand dryer comprising:\n an air-stream generating device that blows out air, taken from a device air inlet, from a device air outlet; an inner housing that accommodates therein the air-stream generating device and has an inner air inlet formed in an intake surface thereof that is opposed to the device air inlet; and an outer housing that accommodates therein the inner housing and the air-stream generating device and has an outer air inlet and an outer air outlet formed therein, wherein an intake air passage that connects the outer air inlet and the device air inlet to each other is formed inside the outer housing while including the intake surface and an opposing surface that is opposed to the intake surface as a portion of a wall surface thereof, wherein the intake air passage is formed by being bent in a direction in which the intake air passage is away from the opposing surface, in midway to an upstream side in the intake air passage from the inner air inlet, wherein the outer air inlet is formed on a more upstream side than the bent portion in the intake air passage is, and a projection is provided on the opposing surface to project from a region that is opposed to the inner air inlet towards the intake surface, the projection having a first surface facing an upstream side in the intake air passage.
