Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the interference of blower tubes with a vehicle, and their removal by being pulled unreasonably. SOLUTION: This machine is provided with a top nozzle 5 movable up and down which dries by injecting the air to the upper surface of a vehicle 3; blowers 7a and 7b to deliver the air to the top nozzle 5; flexible blower tubes 10 to connect the top nozzle 5 and the blowers 7a and 7b; and a pair of the left and the right elevating driving devices 6a and 6b to move the top nozzle 5. The top nozzle 5 and the elevating bodies 17 of both elevating driving devices 6a and 6b are connected by a connecting rod 21, and the blower tubes 10 have loosened parts 12 loosening downward in order to absorb the elevating of the top nozzle 5. When the top nozzle 5 is moved upward, the interference between the loosening parts 12 of the both blower tubes 10 and the ceiling of the vehicle 3 is prevented by supporting and lifting up the both blower tubes 10 by the connecting rod 21 from the lower side.
