[origin: EP2399496A1] A hand dryer comprising a hand drying chamber that includes a hand insertion opening from which left and right hands can be inserted in parallel; a first wall section that faces backs of the hands inserted from the hand insertion opening; a second wall section that faces palms of the hands and the first wall section; and a pair of air nozzle sections that is set on any one of a side of the first wall section and a side of the second wall section to extend roughly along an overall length of the inserted hands in a direction almost parallel to a direction of a finger of each of the inserted hands, and that jets a high-speed airflow toward any one of the backs and the palms of the hands. The pair of air nozzle sections is arranged such that a space on a side of the hand insertion opening is wide and a space on a far side is narrow to be almost parallel with directions of fingers of the inserted hands.
