Description

DK 180936 B1 1
HAIR DRYER HOLDER
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to support or stand for an appliance. More particularly, the present invention relates to an adjustable hair dryer holder for holding a hair dryer/blow dryer while in use, allowing both the hands of a user free for other purposes.
BACKGROUND Hair dryer or blow dryer is a device that blows hot air over the hair of the user to dry them more quickly. More often they are used for drying and styling the hair of the users. The device typically includes an electrically resistive heating element, a fan to direct — the hot air through an air outlet or barrel, a switch, and a handle for holding the device while in use. The user holds the hair dryer by the handle and directs the barrel towards the damp hair such that that the warm air flows over it.
This mode of operation presents several drawbacks. The basic problem associated — with the use of such hair dryer is that one must hold the device with one hand all the time above their head in order to direct the air from the blow dryer into the hair. The user can become tired of holding the device for an extended period of time until their hair gets dried. Moreover, many users require the use of both hands to hold the hair dryer to achieve the desired styling. Additionally, it is difficult for persons with arm injuries and disabilities to — hold the hair dryer.
Thus, holding a blow dryer for any period is inconvenient. Also, employing both the hands of the users during the entire process is relatively complex. To avoid such problems, various wall mounting devices, stands and hair drying holders are present in the market. However, such holders are fitter therein, some do not allow adjustment of the
DK 180936 B1 2 height and directivity of the barrel. Additionally, placing of hair dryer above the table or along with other devices uses space. Alternatively, hair drying helmets are used. The hair drying helmets dry the hair — without the need for the user to hold any device for a long period of time. They include stands for supporting the hair drying bonnet over the user's head. However, the hair drying helmet is fixed in one direction. The user cannot change their direction and it is inconvenient to the users. Further, the hair drying helmet occupies more space and must be stored away after use.
A prior art, US 2019/0313760 A1 of Lapoint Jean, discloses a hair dryer holder for holding a hand-held hair dryer, comprising: an elongated rigid arm configured to be mounted to a surface, wherein the elongated rigid arm comprises a proximal extremity having a lower mounting member and a distal extremity having an upper mounting member and a holder member configured to be adjustably secured to the elongated rigid arm and has a receiving hole with a slot extending vertically through the receiving hole-depth, wherein the receiving hole is dimensioned to receive a handle of a hair dryer and hold it securely in place. However, above-mentioned prior art fails to disclose a holder comprising a mounting bracket attached to the elongated rigid arm and capable of being mounted to a surface wherein the mounting bracket comprises a base having a first arm extending vertically from one end and a second arm extending vertically from another end. In light of all the above-mentioned drawbacks, there is a need for a hair dryer holder that holds the hair dryer while in use, letting the user’s hand free for other purposes. — Also, there is a need for a wall-mounted adjustable holder for positioning the hair dryer holder at varying heights and operated in any desired direction.
