(57) The invention relates to a dryer (1), which comprises an elongated body (2) having
a bottom side (210) and two vertical sides (215, 216) contiguous with said bottom
side (210) of the body, which together with said bottom side make up a channel (21)
extending lengthwise of the body, in which channel a mostly elastomer-constructed
sweeper element (3) of the dryer is capable of being accommodated and clamped with
a press-fit joint. In the dryer,
- upon a face (210; 210b) of the body's bottom side (210) turned away from the sweeper
element (3) is propped an articulation part (6), to which is pivotably attached the
dryer's handle or handle bracket,
- the dryer's sweeper element (3) is made in one piece and comprises an elongated
base (30), which is fitted in the body's channel (21) and which comprises a head (325)
of the base with two contiguous side faces (315, 316) of the base connected by a bottom
(310) of the base, whereby between said side faces (315, 316) exists a certain distance
in a crosswise direction of said base (30), especially in a lateral direction of the
base, and the bottom (310) has a width at least equal to that of the base head (325),
whereby a plane (L) extending across the base head is substantially co-directional
with a plane extending across the base bottom (310),
- the base head (325) of the sweeper element features three contiguous resilient sweepers
(4), which depart outward from said head in a way that each sweeper (4; 41, 42, 43)
has its specific divergence angle from the base head plane (L), such that between
two adjacent sweepers (41, 42 as well as 42, 43) there is always a certain separation
angle (b1, b2).
