Abstract

Up until now, the task of rubbing animals, in particular horses, ponies or the like, dry once they have been washed (showered) has involved strenuous manual work. The effort involved in this rubbing-dry action means that the horses are often dried insufficiently and this results, in particular, in them catching chills. The invention proposes an apparatus for drying animals which has a housing (11) with air-outlet openings on the underside (16). The housing (11) is assigned fans (39), for generating an air flow, and air-distributing plates (45), as a result of which a uniform air stream is generated. This uniform air stream is heated by flowing along plate convectors (33) and then passes out of the housing (11) at the bottom as hot air through both air-outlet holes (21) and air-outlet slits (28). A hot-air flow generated in this way makes it possible for animals, in particular horses, to be dried carefully and effectively.
