Abstract
A dehumidifier for removing moisture contained in air upon discharging the air which has been introducing from outside, comprises a container body, a meshed receptacle which is suspended through a receiving mouth formed on top of the container body and accommodates therein a deliquescent moisture absorbent, and a cover which covers the top end of the container body excluding the receiving mouth. On the top end of the container body, there are provided a receiving tube which is suspended therein and the bottom portion of a battery chamber. In the cover, there are provided an air sending tube which forms a vent passage together with the receiving tube being located within the receiving tube and is suspended lower than the receiving tube and a cover which forms the battery chamber together with the bottom portion of the battery chamber of the container body. Further, on the top of the air sending tube, a fan and its driving source are provided. The fan is driven so that the flow of air is introduced either from the receiving tube to the vent passage or vice versa through the container body interior, depending on the rotating direction of the driving source. The air introduced into the container body interior is dehumidified, and the dehumidified air is sent outside. When the level of deliquescence stored within the container body reaches the bottom end of the air sending tube, the vent passage is closed to stop the flow of air.
