Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided is a humidifier that utilizes the weight load of a tank to attach the tank, thereby reducing the burden on a user. In the humidifier (1), a tray (14) attaches to the body (10) from the side, and the tank (16) attaches to a tank receiver (14a) of the tray (14) from the side. The tank receiver (14a) is provided with a support section (143) that supports the tank (16). When attaching the tank (16), a user brings a support corner (16a) of the tank (16) into contact with the support section (143), and while rotating the tank (16) around the rotational center in the vicinity of the support section (143), the tank (16) moves toward the body (10). A first protruding section (161), which protrudes toward the body (10), is formed on the top half of the tank (16), so that when the center of gravity of the tank (16) has moved closer to the body (10) than a vertical plane through which the rotational center passes, the tank (16) moves toward the body (10) due to the weight of the tank (16).
