Abstract
A blowing apparatus includes a suction passage having a suction chamber enclosed by rigid body surfaces, suction ports opening toward the suction chamber for sucking air from outside, and a fan suction port serving as a suction port for a blower, the suction ports, the suction chamber, and the fan suction port being arranged in nonlinear form. In such blowing apparatus, a doughnut-like straightening guide is arranged on an opening edge on the suction chamber side of the fan suction port. The straightening guide has a projection toward the suction chamber, an appropriate thickness in the radial direction, and a guide passage matching the fan suction port in the middle thereof.
