Abstract
A moisture absorbing device includes a tube which is made of board coated with plastic and which in its longitudinal direction is divided into an upper chamber containing a moisture-absorbing agent and a lower chamber containing a liquid-collecting member and communicating with the upper chamber via a liquid-permeable member. The tube has at least one opening on a level with the upper chamber. A netting element, which has at least one fine-meshed netting portion, is so attached to the inside of the tube that the netting portion is located in front of the opening. The liquid-collecting member includes a liquid-tight container connected to the liquid-permeable member.
