Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair dryer with a blower for blowing air from an outlet opening of a nozzle of the hair dryer, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a hairdryer is used to dry and / or style hair.
  • air or an air flow is used, which is generated by the hair dryer and blown out on the hair.
  • This air usually exits from a nozzle of the hair dryer, which has an outlet opening for this purpose.
  • the effluent from the outlet opening air flows out in one direction, usually a certain area of the hair is detected by the air flow, so that for styling the entire hair a corresponding movement of the hair dryer is necessary.
  • different components such as said fan motor, a housing, different essays and heating elements, which lead to a certain weight of the hair dryer.
  • such hair driers are usually hand-held, so that the movement of the hair dryer or holding it in a certain position manually done.
  • Corresponding hair dryers are for example from the documents FR 2 906 980 A1 and DE 296 09 377 U1 known.
  • the disadvantage here is that keeping the hair dryer in a certain position and / or moving the hair dryer for drying different hair regions lead to a corresponding effort for the user. This is the case in particular when the styling process, ie, in particular, holding the hair dryer in a certain position, is required for a longer time.
  • the present invention addresses the problem of providing a hair dryer of the type mentioned in an improved or at least alternative embodiment, which is characterized in particular by improved handling.
  • the solution according to the invention should be economically feasible as possible.
  • the present invention is based on the general idea of changing or influencing a flow direction of the air emerging from a nozzle of a hair dryer by means of the nozzle, thereby achieving improved handling of the hair dryer.
  • This makes it possible, in particular, to align the air emerging from the nozzle for styling hair at different points or areas of hair, without the need for a corresponding movement or alignment of the entire hair dryer is necessary.
  • this can be certain attitude positions of the hair dryer, for example, require an increased force of the user or lead to a correspondingly rapid fatigue of the user can be avoided because the hair dryer can always be kept in a comfortable position and the flow direction exclusively by means of the nozzle is changed.
  • the hair dryer has a blower for blowing air out of a square outlet opening of the nozzle.
  • the air may in particular be hot air or cold air.
  • the cold air can be used in particular for fixing the hair.
  • the hot air is usually heated within the fan or outside the fan, for example by means of a heating element.
  • the nozzle has four relatively movable adjusting elements, which are each arranged along an associated side of the outlet opening.
  • the nozzle for changing the flow direction is at least partially plastically deformable.
  • the solutions according to the invention are preferably realized in the region of the outlet opening of the nozzle.
  • the adjusting elements movable relative to one another are preferably arranged in the region of the outlet opening and / or that the nozzle for changing the flow direction is plastically deformable in the region of the outlet opening.
  • At least one such adjusting element is designed as a lamella, which is arranged movably on the outlet opening.
  • the movable arrangement of the blade is realized for example by means of a corresponding storage. It is also conceivable to connect the lamella hinged to the nozzle in order to ensure a corresponding movement of the lamella relative to the nozzle.
  • the lamella is arranged and / or connected to the nozzle such that the movement of the lamella leads to a corresponding change in the flow direction.
  • the change of the flow direction by means of the adjusting elements is realized in preferred variants in that at least two such adjusting elements are arranged opposite one another in the region of the outlet opening.
  • the respective adjustment element can in principle be independent or individually movable.
  • at least two such adjustment elements are movable independently of one another in order to achieve an improved and / or simplified change of the flow direction.
  • Such an interdependent movement of the adjustment is in particular given by the fact that the adjustment elements are positively coupled together.
  • the adjacently movable adjustment elements are, in particular, the adjusting elements arranged opposite one another in the region of the outlet opening.
  • the respective adjusting element manually and directly, that is to say by an immediate action of the user on the respective adjusting element.
  • an adjustment of at least one such adjusting element can also take place by means of an adjusting device.
  • at least one such adjusting element is movable by means of an adjusting device.
  • the adjusting device or an actuator for the corresponding actuation can be arranged in a region remote from the outlet opening in order, for example, to avoid an unnecessary heat transfer to the actuator actuating elements or to reduce this carryover.
  • the adjusting device can be configured or designed such that it moves at least two such adjustment depending or independent of each other.
  • the hair dryer in the region of the outlet opening may comprise means for placing further components.
  • the hair dryer can be designed or equipped in the region of the outlet opening in such a way that, for example, a comb attachment, a brush attachment and the like can be attached.
  • the hair dryer can introduce a fluid, for example a liquid, into the air such that a mixture of the air and the fluid reaches the hair to be styled.
  • a fluid for example a liquid
  • the hair dryer has a feed opening upstream of the outlet opening in order to mix said fluid with the air.
  • an air-fluid mixture already exits the outlet opening in the direction of flow.
  • the fluid is introduced downstream of the outlet opening into the air.
  • a container may be provided in which said fluid is stored.
  • the hair dryer can be designed or configured such that said container, in particular removable, can be connected to the hair dryer.
  • said attachments or said containers and / or the hair driers are designed such that all attachments and the container can be placed over the same means in the region of the outlet opening on the hair dryer.
  • a hair dryer 1 has a housing 2 with a handle 3 and a flow channel 4. Within the flow channel 4, a fan 5 is arranged, which sucks air from inlet openings 6 of the housing 2 and blows out of a square outlet opening 7 of a nozzle 8 of the hair dryer 1. As a result, the air emerges in the flow direction 9 from the outlet opening 7.
  • the nozzle 8 of the hair dryer 1 is plastically deformable such that a plastic deformation of the nozzle 8 in the region of the outlet opening 7 makes it possible to change the flow direction 9, for example in the direction indicated by 9 '.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment in which the nozzle 8 additionally comprises four relatively movable adjustment elements 10. It can be seen that the nozzle 8 shown here has a quadrangular outlet opening 7.
  • the adjusting elements 10 are each arranged along an associated side of the outlet opening 7. This shows the Nozzle 8 two longer or larger adjustment elements 10 and two shorter or smaller adjustment elements 10, wherein the larger adjustment elements 10 and the smaller adjustment elements 10 are each opposite.
  • the adjusting elements 10 are connected to the nozzle 8 in such a way that they can be folded relative to the nozzle 8 in order to completely open the outlet opening 7 or to move in the direction of the outlet opening 7.
  • this also the flow direction 9 and the flow rate can be changed.
  • the respective opposing adjusting elements 10 are positively coupled together, so that the opposing adjusting elements 10 are adjustable by means of an actuator 11 of an adjusting 12, while the other opposing adjusting elements 10 by means of another actuator 11 'of the adjusting device 12 are adjustable.
  • the respective adjusting element 10 is designed as a lamella 15.
  • the adjusting element 10 is made of such a material, which is suitable for the conditions at the outlet opening 7, in particular for the temperatures prevailing at the outlet opening 7 temperatures.
  • the nozzle 8 shown has a feed opening 13 which serves the purpose of introducing into the air emerging from the outlet opening 7 a liquid, in particular a hair treatment agent, located in a container, not shown here.
  • a feed opening 13 which serves the purpose of introducing into the air emerging from the outlet opening 7 a liquid, in particular a hair treatment agent, located in a container, not shown here.
  • two attachment openings 14 are provided on opposite sides of the feed opening 13 to put said container on the nozzle 8 and thus on the hair dryer 1.
  • the hair dryer 1 By means of the hair dryer 1 according to the invention it is thus possible, on the one hand, to change the flow direction 9 and, on the other hand, to vary the flow cross section or the size of the outlet opening 7 and thus the flow velocity.
