DRYER

摘要

Drying apparatus has a casing (12), a cavity (30) formed in the casing (12) for receiving an object, and a fan (40) located in the casing (12) and capable of creating an airflow. At least one slot-like opening (60, 62) communicates with the fan (40) and is arranged in the casing (12) so as to direct an airflow transversely across the cavity (30). The slot-like opening (60, 62) is formed between walls (54a, 54b, 56a, 56b) which are manufactured from a thermosetting plastics material. By manufacturing the walls (54a, 54b, 56a, 56b) of the slot-like opening (60, 62) from a thermosetting plastics material such as melamine, the walls (54a, 54b, 56a, 56b) of the slot-like opening (60, 62) can be moulded economically instead of machined from metal. The thermosetting plastics material is dimensionally stable when moulded, thermally resistant and impact resistant.
