Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of hair dryers, and more particularly, to devices having a rotating member for directing a circular flow of air from a hair dryer.
  • a number of devices are known that direct air flow from a hair dryer. These devices include nozzle attachments or outlets that spin while deflecting air at an acute angle.
  • the attachments are enabled to spin through the use of internal vanes that are pushed by the air exiting the hair dryer.
  • the vanes are typically connected to and spin around a central point within the attachment. The direction of the air exiting the rotating attachment is thereby constantly changed, sometimes in a circular pattern. However, the air flow exiting from the attachment remains linear by nature, and the vanes only act to change how the linear flow is directed.
  • an aspect of the present invention relates to a rotating member for directing a circular flow of air from a portable hand-held hair dryer.
  • a rotating air directing apparatus for a barrel of a hair dryer.
  • the apparatus includes a tubular adapter member adapted to be removably coupled to the barrel of the hair dryer.
  • the apparatus also includes a tubular rotating member rotatably coupled to the tubular adapter member.
  • the tubular rotating member includes a circumferential inner surface, an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a plurality of curved vanes.
  • the apparatus further includes a nozzle member disposed adjacent to the outlet opening of the tubular rotating member and adapted to rotate with the tubular rotating member.
  • the nozzle member includes an angled tubular member having a nozzle opening disposed at an acute angle relative to the outlet opening.
  • the plurality of curved vanes each have a fixed edge at the circumferential inner surface that extends from the inlet opening to the outlet opening of the tubular rotating member, and an opposing free edge that defines a central open space of the tubular rotating member.
  • Each of the plurality of curved vanes are spaced apart from each other, thereby defining a plurality of curved radial openings between adjacent curved vanes.
  • Each of the plurality of curved radial openings adjoins the central open space to form a continuous open path.
  • a hair dryer assembly includes a hair dryer having a barrel, and a tubular rotating member rotatably coupled to the barrel.
  • the tubular rotating member includes a circumferential inner surface, an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a plurality of curved vanes.
  • the assembly further includes a nozzle member disposed adjacent to the outlet opening of the tubular rotating member and adapted to rotate with the tubular rotating member.
  • the nozzle member includes an angled tubular member having a nozzle opening disposed at an acute angle relative to the outlet opening.
  • the plurality of curved vanes each have a fixed edge at the circumferential inner surface that curvedly extends from the inlet opening to the outlet opening of the tubular rotating member, and an opposing free edge that defines a central open space of the tubular rotating member that remains open when rotating.
  • Each of the plurality of curved vanes are spaced apart from each other, thereby defining a plurality of curved radial openings between adjacent curved vanes.
  • Each of the plurality of curved radial openings adjoins the central open space to form a continuous open path.
  • FIGS. 1-4 and 6-12B show a rotating air directing apparatus for a barrel of a hair dryer, according to embodiments of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows a hair dryer assembly including a rotating air directing apparatus, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the air directing apparatus may be an attachment adapted to be removably secured to the barrel of a hair dryer as shown, for example in FIGS. 1-4 and 6-12B , or may be integral with a hair dryer barrel itself, as shown for example in FIG. 5 .
  • a hair dryer is preferably a handheld portable hair dryer typically used at home or in a salon.
  • the rotating air directing apparatus is powered by the force of the air flowing from the hair dryer.
  • the apparatus is designed and configured to create a moving, rotating pattern of heated air flow similar to that achieved when an operator manually manipulates the hair dryer relative to the hair to be dried.
  • a rotating air directing apparatus, or a hair dryer assembly, according to an embodiment of the invention eliminates the need for the operator to continuously manipulate the hair dryer, thereby reducing operator fatigue.
  • a rotating air directing apparatus for a barrel of a hair dryer may include a tubular adapter member 1.
  • the tubular adapter member 1 is adapted to be removably coupled to a barrel 110 of the hair dryer 100.
  • an internal diameter of the tubular adapter member 1 may be dimensioned to fit over an outer diameter of the hair dryer barrel 110 to provide a press-on or friction fit.
  • an outer diameter of the tubular adapter member 1 may have dimensions that fit within an inner diameter of the hair dryer barrel 110 to provide a press-on or friction fit.
  • tubular adapter member 1 and the barrel 110 of the hair dryer 100 include an engaging groove on one or both of the tubular adapter member 1 and the barrel 110 of the hair dryer 100, a threaded fit and a clamping element.

  • the tubular adapter member 1 may be any suitable size for coupling to the hair dryer 100.
  • a tubular rotating member 2 is rotatably coupled to the tubular adapter member 1.
  • the tubular rotating member 2 includes a circumferential inner surface 21, an inlet opening 22 and an outlet opening 23.
  • an outer diameter of the tubular rotating member 2 may be dimensioned to fit inside the tubular adapter member 1 to provide a freely rotating fit.
  • the respective inner and outer surfaces of the tubular adapter member 1 and the tubular rotating member 2 may provide bearing surfaces for the rotational motion.
  • one or more bearing elements may be incorporated into the apparatus to facilitate rotation of the tubular rotating member 2.
  • the bearing elements may be any suitable type, for example, ring bearings, roller bearings or ball bearings.
  • At least one ring bearing may be disposed on an inner surface of the tubular adapter member 1 and/or on an outer surface of the tubular rotating member 2.
  • a first ring bearing 61 may be disposed proximate to the outlet opening 23 of the tubular rotating member 2 on an outer surface of the tubular rotating member 2 and on an inner surface of the tubular adapter member 1.
  • a second ring bearing 62 may be disposed proximate to the inlet opening 22 of the tubular rotating member 2 on an outer surface of the tubular rotating member 2 and on an inner surface of the tubular adapter member 1.
  • the tubular rotating member 2 may be formed from a rigid, lightweight plastic material or any other suitable material or materials.
  • a length of the tubular adapter member 1 and the tubular rotating member 2 assembly may be in a range of approximately 60 to 100 mm, for example 82 mm. However, the assembly may be any suitable length for achieving its intended purpose.

  • the nozzle member 3 also has a nozzle opening 31 disposed at an acute angle relative to the outlet opening 23 of the tubular rotating member 2. Specifically, a imaginary perpendicular line passing through a center of the nozzle opening 31 forms an angle of less than ninety degrees with an imaginary perpendicular line passing though a center of the outlet opening 23. Due to the configuration of the angled nozzle opening, when the tubular rotating member 2 and the nozzle member 3 rotate, a moving, rotating pattern of heated air flow is created which is similar to that achieved by an operator manually manipulating the hair dryer relative to the hair to be dried.

  • the speed reducing element 210 reduces a rotating speed of the tubular rotating element 208 by expanding beyond the circumference of the tubular rotating member 208 due to centrifugal force when the tubular rotating member 208 is rotating causing contact and friction between the speed reducing element 210 and an interior circumference of the tubular adapter member 204.
