Moving air curtain for toilet bidet dryer
A dryer for use with a bidet is disclosed. In one embodiment, a moveable dryer wand emits an air curtain as the dryer wand moves across the bidet bowl beneath the user after cleansing. We further disclose a dryer which produces a second air current which moves air in a different direction than that emitted by the dryer wand and further controls the movement of excess water remaining on a user after cleansing. A dryer that includes moveable dryer wand used in coordination with a moveable bidet wand are also disclosed and claimed herein.
1. A dryer for use in a bidet, the dryer comprising:
a moveable drying wand, the drying wand comprising:
a hollow tube,
a groove, the groove running longitudinally along a length of the drying wand,
an air nozzle,
wherein the air nozzle is connected to a distal end of the hollow tube, and
wherein the air nozzle comprises a first aperture,
wherein a first dimension of the air nozzle is wider than a second dimension of the air nozzle, wherein the first dimension of the air nozzle is perpendicular to the second dimension of the air nozzle, and wherein the air nozzle is positioned at an angle toward an opening in a bidet bowl relative to a plane that is perpendicular to the hollow tube;
a bidet wand,
wherein the bidet wand is movably disposed within the groove,
a plurality of fans wherein the fans moves a first and a second air current through the hollow tube in a direction that is toward or away from the first aperture; and
a fixture for conducting a third air current,
wherein the fixture comprises a second aperture,
wherein the second aperture is narrower in a first dimension of the second aperture is narrower than a second dimension of the second aperture,
wherein the first dimension of the second aperture is perpendicular to the second dimension of the second aperture, and
wherein the fixture is positioned above the drying wand.
2. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein the angle of the air nozzle is three degrees.
3. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein the air nozzle is hingedly attached to the hollow tube.
4. The dryer of claim 3 , wherein the air nozzle is moveable to a plurality of angles relative to the hollow tube.
5. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first aperture is rectangular.
6. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first aperture is a segment of an annulus.
7. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first aperture is wider than a width of the hollow tube.
8. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the second aperture is rectangular.
9. The dryer of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the second aperture is a segment of an annulus.
