AIR DIFFUSER FOR HAIRDRYER DRYERS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention develops an air diffuser for hairdresser dryers, of the type of removable accessories that are attached to the dryer nozzle with

the

particularity from that by its own conformation

FIELD OF THE INVENTION Different types of diffusers for hair dryers that are removably connected to the nozzles thereof are widely used by the art. In general they are built in one piece, being one of the most common constructions that uses a rigid plastic as material.

It is a good solution, and economical, which is related to the usual material of hair dryers that are also usually made of plastic material. Now, its trumpet cone shape represents a non-negligible volume that makes it sometimes uncomfortable for transport. In addition, many small dryers are sold in which these known diffusers could occupy almost as much or more space than the dryer itself.

It is for this reason, to address the need to reduce storage space, which is known as US patent US5060398. This document discloses an air diffuser for hair dryers made in

a rigid material, such as plastic, and that can be contracted when performed in a combination of concentric cylinders by means of a perimeter stop device, creating a telescopic type frame.

Yet

with their obvious advantages on the technique

previous,

saying kind from diffuser it suffers too from

some

disadvantages A from they is its rigidity Y

hardness, so that not only can it deteriorate due to its constructive rigidity when interacting with other rigid objects in a bag on the occasion of its transport, but also the diffuser can damage objects of habitual use, such as mobiles, PDAs, tablets, etc.

It is therefore one of the main objectives of the present invention to provide an air diffuser for hair dryers that can shrink and occupy a small size, with soft outer surfaces that prevent damage to other objects when transported in a bag or travel bag.

Another disadvantage of the diffuser mentioned is that its surface is heated when used in professional dryers with the inherent risk of burns. It is therefore another of the main objects of the present invention that said diffuser is of materials pleasant to the touch and athermal.

Finally, another of the main objects of the present invention is that said diffuser be economical in terms of its manufacture.

These and other advantages of the present invention will be more apparent throughout the description thereof that follows.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention develops an air diffuser for hairdresser dryers, of the removable type and that for use is attached to the nozzle of the dryer, made so that it can collapse or shrink to occupy a smaller size when it is not uses and, for example, in its transport condition, in which the diffuser consists of a front lattice screen, preferably made of plastic material, and of a stepped cone made of suitable flexible material, rubber or a flexible compound, presenting in the areas of the outer vertices of said steps circular weakening zones that facilitate the collapse of the diffuser.

In this way, the diffuser is light because it is completely made of light materials such as rubber, it is unharmed, it offers a rigid body but with flexible walls due to the rubber that forms the most part, avoiding aggressive contact with other objects and Finally, it is pleasant to the touch and much more temperate than conventional rigid plastics.

Conventionally, the lattice screen can incorporate diffuser stops and essences containers. This container of essences is a vessel perforated at least on both transverse walls in the direction of the air outlet and allows to place a

perfume capsule, hair treatment substance, etc. and that the air flow of the dryer will spread over the hair.

In this way, all the inventive objects pursued by the invention have been carried out resulting in a diffuser for hairdresser dryers that is collapsible allowing its storage with a small size, it is undamaged, offering a flexible outer surface that prevents chafing and damage to rigid objects. , being

Figure 2 is a front view of the diffuser of the previous figure, once collapsed or shrunk to its transport size.

Figure 3 is a detail view of a section of an edge of the planes or rings of the diffuser according to the embodiment of the preceding figures.

Figure 4 shows a lattice front screen a

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The present invention consists of a diffuser for hairdressers, of the type of accessories that are attached to the nozzle of the dryer and that are removable therefrom, which is formed by an outer cover

(1) of rubber or a similar material, a mixture of plastic and rubber, etc., said material characterized by its relative flexibility, being deformable but maintaining the approximate general shape of a stepped cone trunk when the diffuser is used, being formed by levels (2).

This stepped rubber cone (1) has a shape that resembles the union of different cylinders,

. approximately concentric, concentric sections, which have weakening zones (3) in the vertices of their joining surfaces, for example in the form of material reductions, which is the example case shown in the realization of the graphics accompanying the invention. These zones or lines of weakening (3) contribute to facilitate the folding of the outer cover, when for example it is pressed by its application cylinder (4) downwards towards its greater circular perimeter.

This simple downward pressure of the diffuser leads down or all approximately vertical walls of

successive levels (2) when flexing through your nerves

or weakening lines (3) the joining surfaces of said outer cover (1).

This folded arrangement, as shown in the figure

(2), allows the diffuser of the invention to be stored and transported occupying a small space. The circumstance that the diffuser's formative material is rubber or the like, or for example a flexible plastic mixture, results in a surface that prevents scratching or damaging other adjacent objects, providing a smooth and pleasant object to the touch.

The neck or cylinder of application (4) of the diffuser can conventionally incorporate thickening (5), for example in the form of ribs, to reduce the contact of the neck of the diffuser with the nozzle of the dryer and facilitate its introduction and removal.

On the front of the diffuser there is a screen

(6)

lattice (7), made for example of plastic material suitable to resist the temperature of the dryer air, allowing the passage of air through it. This accessory, usually slightly concave as seen from the outside of the diffuser, incorporates conventional conical legs-like structures

(8)

distance to move the user away from direct contact with the screen (6).

These legs (8) can be constructed with side vents to create a multidirectional air flow.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a slotted and approximately cylindrical chamber (9) is disposed in the central part of the screen (6) of the diffuser, which has a manual opening for placing perfume or treating substances in the form of capsules. The dryer air passes through the slotted chamber body (9) and diffuses these essences through the hair. The professional accesses the inside of said slotted chamber (9) because, for example, it has a removable, pressure or screw cap. This plug has not been shown in the figures.

The screen (6) is detachably fixed on ribs, not shown, near the widest perimeter of the outer cover (1), on its inner face, or by any other means within the known technique for making said fasteners .

As a whole and as a result, the invention provides a collapsible diffuser that is pleasant to the touch and undamaged, that is, it does not burn when used with the hot air of the dryer. In addition, the diffuser of the invention is capable of being manufactured in different colors, which together with its simplicity allows it to be configured as a youth accessory.

By

its same essence constructive, he diffuser from the

invention

is economic in terms from their costs from

manufacturing.

The diffuser can be made in different

configurations of size, number of levels or floors, different materials within the properties necessary for its proper functioning, etc. In general, how many details of

5 finish and shape do not modify or alter the essence of the invention.
