Claims

1. A body dryer comprising, in combination:

a housing having an enlarged rectangular front face, an enlarged rectangular rear face, and a periphery formed therebetween for defining an interior space, the periphery defined by a top face, a bottom face, and a pair of arcuate side faces, the front face having a rectangular recess formed therein thereby defining a planar rectangular recessed face and a pair of angled recessed sides, the rear face having a plurality of mounts, each of said plurality of mounts having a length coupled thereto, said mounts having a length, and extending rearwardly from said rear face for being coupled to a vertical recipient surface such that the housing remains in spaced parallel relationship) with the recipient surface, wherein there is an opening between said rear face and said vertical recipient surface, the top face having a pair of staggered rows of linearly aligned circular breathing apertures formed therein;

an enlarged planar rectangular mirror mounted on the recessed face of the housing;

an elongated fluorescent light mounted on each of the angled recessed sides of the recess of the housing for illuminating upon the receipt of power;

a plurality of vertically oriented heating coils situated within the interior space of the housing adjacent to the side faces of the periphery thereof, the heating coils adapted to generate heat within the interior space of the housing upon the receipt of power;

a plurality of blower assemblies each having a circular configuration, the blower assemblies mounted on the front face of the housing between the recess and the periphery thereof, wherein the blower assemblies are adapted to blow heated air from the interior space of the housing in a direction perpendicular with respect to the front face of the housing only upon the receipt of power; and

a power switch mounted on a middle extent of the front face of the housing adjacent to one of the side faces of the periphery thereof, the power switch connected between the fluorescent light, heating coils, blower assemblies and a power source for selectively supplying the same with power.
