Apparatus for washing and drying hands including a generally horizontal chamber having a defining wall, a central axis, an open end with an inwardly curved peripheral lip, a closed end, a top micro-spray nozzle arranged in the wall above the central axis, two side micro-spray nozzles arranged in the wall on opposed sides of the central axis, an air inlet arranged in the wall above the central axis, an air outlet arranged in the wall below the central axis, and two side air ducts exteriorly surrounding the wall to connect the air inlet to the air outlet, wherein in use liquid is sprayed from the top and side micro-spray nozzles to collectively establish a liquid curtain of micro-sprays across the central axis of the chamber, and air circulates within the chamber and recirculates around the chamber from the air outlet to the air inlet.

The invention provides a plurality of display devices such as hand dryers, each with a programmed computer display, and all communicating to a central location via a high speed link system. A display screen is mounted to each of the hand dryers and viewable by a user while drying the user's hands. A processor is located within the housing and is in signal-communication with the display screen. The high-speed link system is in signal-communication with each processor and an external data source, wherein the data source communicates with the processor to change the image displayed on the display screen. Sensors communicate ambient conditions outside of the display screen to a database.

A dryer stand having a base, a body having a first end connected to the base and a second end spaced upward from the base, and a receptacle located in the second end of the body, the receptacle being mounted to the second end of the body is provided. The receptacle can receive a dryer for discharging drying air. The mounting of the receptacle enables at least one of a tilting operation and a rotation operation in a clockwise-counterclockwise direction so that the discharge direction of the drying air can be shifted toward a front-rear direction and clockwise-counterclockwise direction with respect to the dryer stand, either simultaneously or separately, depending on the position and size of the object to be dried.
