Abstract: A portable hand dryer easily and removably attachable to a power outlet without tools, comprising a rectangular housing which retains electric power interface and control system devices. Prongs that plug into an electrical outlet receptacle bring electric power to the dryer protrude from the rear of rectangular housing. The hand dryer further comprises drying air and disinfecting UV light movably aimable housing. The housings are joined by a two degrees of rotational freedom swivel assembly joining the drying air and disinfecting housing. The hand dryer is securely held on a wall outlet by a combination of frictional forces of prongs inserted into a socket and mechanical or magnetic snap devices. The drying and disinfecting is automatic, initiated by a user proximity sensors disposed in the drying air and disinfecting UV light housing.

Abstract: A portable hand dryer has an air blower and, optionally, an air heater. The hand dryer includes a laterally protruding male electrical plug having at least two prongs which provides electricity to the blower and which allows the hand dryer to be supported from a structure wall. In one embodiment, the male plug can be folded flush with the rear wall of the hand dryer. In another embodiment, the hand dryer also has a laterally extending distal prong which provides additional support for the hand dryer along a structure wall. In yet another embodiment, the hand dryer comprises a spacer on a rear wall of the hand dryer to separate the rear wall from the structure wall.
