The drying apparatus of this development is of the type comprising a number of perforated hollow curlers which can be fixed, for instancc by means of clamps, in the hair which is being treated or styled. Further, therc is provided a device for generating an air flow which can be regulated to a predetermined temperature.
SUMMARY O~ TIIE INVENTION
According to the present invention there is provided a curler, especially for connection with a hot air flow-generating means, said curler comprising: an elongate tubular body having radially-directed perforations in the outer wall thereof; means for directing a portion of the hot air to flow axially into the interior of said body and radially out through said perforations; and, means for concomitantly directing the remainder of the hot air to flow axially along said outer wall cross-current to the flow of air out through said perforations.
The invention also provides a hair drying apparatus comprising: means for generating a hot air flow which can be regulated so as to substantially have a desired air temperature;
air distributor means operatively associated with the means for generating the air flow; said air distributor means containing a plurality of air outlet openings; a plurality of hose members having opposed ends with one end of each hose member being connected to a respective outlet opening of the air distributor means; and a number of curlers capable of being fixed in hair to be dried, and adapted
- 2 -1Sl3~i947 for connection to respective ones of said hose members, each said curler comprising an elongate tubular body having radially directed perforations in the outer wall thereof, means for directing a portion of the hot air received from a respective hose axially into the interior of said body and radially out said perforations, and means for concomitantly directing the remainder of the hot air received axially along thc outer wall cross-current to the flow of air out through said porforations.
The curlers can be constructed for instance as hollow brushes, each preferably COllsists of a perforated cylindrical tube or pipe, whose one end, in the embodiment disclosed, may be closed.
The actual brush is introduced through the other curler end, and in the end position the bristles of the brush extend through the openings or perforations in the wall of the tube.
For curling the hair the hollow brushes can be coupled with a handle or handgrip. After release of the handle there is connected a hose with the internal space of the brush.
One embodiment of the curler consists of a hollow, elongate curler body, the side walls of which are provided with air outlet or exit openings and a coupling element for the connection of the curler with an air infeed hose. At the air inlet end there are provided channels for the air flow. One branch opens externally of the side walls of the curler and allows a portion of the air to flow parallel to the curler body The other branch opens internally of the curler.
When some of the hoses are not used then there can be advantageously provided means in order to obturate part of the air outlet or exit openings of the distributor vessel or~ however ~A~ 3 _ 113~947 the brush-side ends of the hoses. These closure means can consist of, by way of example and not limitation, insertable covers or plugs, for instance formed of rubber.

1~ 947 The air flow-distributor device can comprise a conven-tional air dryer, typically for instance a fan or blower. With professional equipmenk the air flow-generating device and the distributor vessel together with the hoses are preferably arranged upon a mobile frame or houslng.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRl~WINGS

The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above, will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

Figure 1 schematically illustrates the major components of a first exemplary embodiment of hair brushing and drying apparatus according to the invention;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a modified construc- i tion of hair drying and brushing apparatus constituting a mobile or movable unit;
.' Figure 3 illustrates the apparatus of Figure 2 in side view and partially in sectional view;

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of a curler construc-ted according to the invention; and ~3~9~7 Figure 5 illustrates the curler of Figure 4 in s~ctional view, but provided with a different h~nge construction, DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREF~RRED EMBODIMENTS

Describing now the drawings, in Figure 1 there is schematically illustrated a brushing and drying apparatus for hair which will be seen to comprise a suitable device 1, such as a conventional hair blower or fan, which has only been purely schematically illustrated, which serves to generate an air flow having a certain or preselected temperature. Connected with the outlet end 2 of the air flow-generating device 1 is an air distributor device 3, here in the form of a distributor vessel, which is equipped with a multiplicity of relatively small air exit or outlet openings 4. A number of flexible hoses or pipes 5 or equivalent structure can be connected with the openings 4, and a number of hollow brushes or brush elements 6 or other curlers, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, are provided at which there can be connected in each case the free end of the hollow brushes or other curlers.

At the air exit side 3a of the air distribution or distributor device or vessel 3 the other ends 5b of the hoses 5 or the like can be conncected with the studs 4a of the air outlet openings 4 or such hose ends 5b can themselves be inser-ted into the related openings 4.

In consideration of the particular construction of the ~.~3~947 hollow brushes 6 the brush openings 6a leading to the not particu-larly referenced internal space of the brushes 6 are relatively large. The connection of each hose 5 with the brush 6 can be accomplished, by way of example, by means of a connector 7 which is fixedly seated upon the corresponding hose 5 and while mounted on such hose can be connected to the tubular portion or tube 6b of the related brush 6.
In the event that only part of the hoses 5 are needed, then it is possible to either close the brush-side hose ends 5b or the air outlet openings 4 of the distributor vessel 3 by a pluggable cover member or plug 8 or the like, so that there cannot arise any undesired pressure drop in the air flow.
With the illustrated apparatus it is possible to curl into the washed wet hair the brushes or curlers 6 which can be of different size. By connecting these brushes 6 with the air flow it is then possible to simultaneously dry and brush the hair.
Now in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings there is illus-trated an exemplary embodiment of apparatus which can be arranged upon the mobile or travelling frame or support 9 of conventional design. With this construction there are provided two ventilators or fans 10 and 11 following which there are operatively connected heaters 12 and 13 for heating-up the sucked-up air. The thus prepared air is infed to a distributor device 14, here in the form of a distributor cabinet or vessel, at which there 1~3~947 are connec~ed the hoses 15 and 16 which lead to the brushes or curlers 6. The entire arrangement is mounted in a suitable housing 17.

Continuing, in Figures 4 and 5 there is shown a particularly suitable construction of curler or brush 18 which is connected, in the showing of Figure 4 by means of a hinge structure 19, and in the showing of Figure 5 by means of a hinge structure 20, with a hose 21 leading from the distributor vessel or cabinet 3 or 14 as the case may be. In the arrange-ment of Figure 4 the hinge means 19 may be constituted by a flexible or bellows-like hinge element, whereas in the arrange-ment of Figure 5 the hinge means 20 may be constituted by a conventional ball-and-socket hinge joint.

The structural details of the curler or brush 18 will be apparent from the showing of Figure 5. It will be seen to comprise an elongate, tubular-shaped body member 22 having a multiplicity of holes or openings 23 through which air can essentially out flow in radial direction. The one end 22a of the body or body member 22 can be conveniently closed, for instance by means of the closure of cover member 22b, whereas at the other end 22c of such body member 22 there is provided a coupling or connection element 24, here shown for instance as a substantially cup-shaped connection element 24. This connection or coupiing element 24 is structured such that part of the infed air flow reaches the internal space or chamber 25 of the curler 18, specifically by flowing through a central opening 24a of 1 1~3~ 7 such connection element 24, whereas another part of the air flow , or stream is guided towards the outside in the direction of the i peripheral region of such connection or coupling element 24.
! This air then can flow through the outlet channels 26 and 27, i and specifically, approximately in the lengthwise direction of the curler over its outer surface 22d. Due to this particular curler design there is obtained an exceptionally effective drying effect.

While there are shown and described present preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but may be otherwise variously embodied and practiced within the scope of the following claims. ACCORDINGLY, '9P
