A wall-mounted, hot air body blow drying apparatus comprising a plurality of round nozzles located along a front surface of the apparatus is herein disclosed. Said nozzles are adjustable and capable of directing jets of warm air over a person's body. A flow of heated air is provided by a resistance heater, an electric blower, and a plurality of distributing ductwork. The apparatus may be hard-wired thereto a standard household power circuit or by using a standard power cord. The apparatus is variably controlled by a temperature and fan speed controlling system and a timer. To use, a person would stand in front of the dryer apparatus and slowly turn around, allowing the multiple heated forced air streams to dry their body in a similar fashion as a forced warm air hand dryer.

1. A body blow dryer for directing heated warm air over a user body after taking a shower, said body blow dryer comprising: a plurality of housing sections pivotally connected to each other;a plurality of air flow nozzles located at each of said housing sections, each of said nozzles being orbitally adjustable along mutually exclusive rotational paths;a blower situated within one (1) of said housing sections;a plenum situated within said one (1) housing section and being operably coupled to said blower;a heating element communicatively coupled to said plenum and being located downstream of said blower for heating air traveling through said plenum;a plurality of tubular members in fluid communication with said plenum and said nozzles respectively, said tubular members extending between said housing sections and thereby distributing heated air to said nozzles respectively; and,a control module operably coupled to said blower and said heating element for permitting a user to program an operating mode of said body blow dryer;wherein each of said housing sections comprises a plurality of hinges alternately stacked along corresponding sides thereof, each of said hinges being provided with an aperture for directing said tubular members between adjoining ones of said housing sections respectively;wherein said housing sections comprise: a center housing section; and,left and right housing sections pivotally coupled to opposed sides of said center housing section respectively;wherein each of said left and right housing sections have a width equal to approximately one-half (½) a width of said center housing section such that said left and right housing sections are simultaneously and inwardly biased towards said center housing section; and,wherein said tubular members pass through said hinges respectively and remain disposed entirely within said hinges such that said tubular members are prohibited from being exposed exterior of said hinges as well as said center, left and right housings respectively. 2. The body blow dryer of claim 1, further comprising: a temperature sensor communicatively coupled to said plenum for detecting a temperature of the heated air traveling into said tubular members, said temperature sensor being communicatively coupled to said control module for adjusting the operating mode of said body blow dryer. 3. The body blow dryer of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of operational user controls comprising: a blower speed dial for adjusting said blower between a plurality of blower speed settings;a temperature control dial for adjusting a temperature of said heating element;a timer for setting a desired amount of drying time according to a user preference such that said blower and said heating element are automatically shut off after said drying time expires; and,a digital display for visually identifying an operating mode of said body blow dryer. 4. The body blow dryer of claim 1, wherein each of said center, left and right housing sections comprises: a plurality of mounting apertures formed along respective rear surfaces thereof for assisting a user to hang said body blow dryer on a support surface. 5. The body blow dryer of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of “T”-shaped leg units extending downwardly and outwardly from said one housing section and thereby resting along a floor surface, each of said leg units comprising: a leg post removably attached to said center housing section; and,a fixture removably attached to said leg post for engaging the floor surface. 6. A body blow dryer for directing heated warm air over a user body after taking a shower, said body blow dryer comprising: a plurality of housing sections pivotally connected to each other;a plurality of air flow nozzles located at each of said housing sections, each of said nozzles being orbitally adjustable along mutually exclusive rotational paths;a blower situated within one (1) of said housing sections;a plenum situated within said one (1) housing section and being operably coupled to said blower;a heating element communicatively coupled to said plenum and being located downstream of said blower for heating air traveling through said plenum;a plurality of tubular members in fluid communication with said plenum and said nozzles respectively, said tubular members extending between said housing sections and thereby distributing heated air to said nozzles respectively; and,a control module operably coupled to said blower and said heating element for permitting a user to program an operating mode of said body blow dryer;wherein each of said nozzles is independently adjustable in an orbital manner;wherein each of said housing sections comprises a plurality of hinges alternately stacked along corresponding sides thereof, said hinges being provided with an aperture for directing said tubular members between adjoining ones of said housing sections respectivelywherein said housing sections comprise: a center housing section; and,left and right housing sections pivotally coupled to opposed sides of said center housing section respectively;wherein each of said left and right housing sections have a width equal to approximately one-half a width of said center housing section such that said left and right housing sections are simultaneously and inwardly biased towards said center housing section; and,wherein each said aperture is entirely contained within a corresponding one of said hinges respectively such that each said aperture remains entirely disposed inside said corresponding hinge and prohibited from being disposed exterior of said center, left and right housing sections. 7. The body blow dryer of claim 6, further comprising: a temperature sensor communicatively coupled to said plenum for detecting a temperature of the heated air traveling into said tubular members, said temperature sensor being communicatively coupled to said control module for adjusting the operating mode of said body blow dryer. 8. The body blow dryer of claim 6, further comprising: a plurality of operational user controls comprising: a blower speed dial for adjusting said blower between a plurality of blower speed settings;a temperature control dial for adjusting a temperature of said heating element;a timer for setting a desired amount of drying time according to a user preference such that said blower and said heating element are automatically shut off after said drying time expires; and,a digital display for visually identifying an operating mode of said body blow dryer. 9. The body blow dryer of claim 6, wherein each of said center, left and right housing sections comprises: a plurality of mounting apertures formed along respective rear surfaces thereof for assisting a user to hang said body blow dryer on a support surface. 10. The body blow dryer of claim 6, further comprising: a plurality of “T”-shaped leg units extending downwardly and outwardly from said one housing section and thereby resting along a floor surface, each of said leg units comprising: a leg post removably attached to said center housing section; and,a fixture removably attached to said leg post for engaging the floor surface.
