Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stick the scent of suitable strength to a human body without directly contacting the component of scent to the human body like a perfume or aroma spray by adding a scent applying means for applying scent to blown cold air or hot air concerning a dryer for drying hair or the like by blowing cold air or hot air. SOLUTION: An insert aperture 6 is opened on the downstream side of a heater 3 on a dryer 1, an aroma sheet 7 is freely attachably and detachably inserted to this aperture, and the drop of the aroma sheet 7 is prevented by mutually engaging respective engage projections and recesses 10. Then, the aroma sheet 7 is formed by spreading a paper material 9, in which aroma is impregnated, over a frame body 8. Therefore, when a blowing fan is rotated by pressing an operating switch 5, scent is appropriately applied to air blown through the heater 3 in contact with the aroma sheet 7 and blown out of a discharge aperture 4 later. As a result, while drying the human body such as hair by blowing air, the scent of suitable strength can be applied to the human body without directly contacting the liquid state component such as perfume to the human body.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dryer, and more particularly to a dryer for discharging cool or warm air having a scent.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when a scent is attached to a human body as a taste, a perfume, a fragrance spray or the like is directly applied or sprayed on the human body, hair, or the like.

[0003]

However, when these perfumes, fragrance sprays, etc. are applied or sprayed directly to the human body or hair, it is necessary to apply or spray these perfumes independently, and in the morning when makeup is busy, etc. However, these treatments are complicated, and the perfume and the fragrance spray directly touch the human body, so that the skin becomes rough and the hair is easily damaged, and the perfume and the fragrance spray have a relatively strong scent. There is a problem that the scent attached to the fragrance tends to be stronger than desired, and it is difficult to appropriately control the scent attached.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and a perfume or a fragrance spray adheres to the human body with appropriate strength while drying the human body with a dryer without directly touching the human body. The purpose is to provide a drier that can be made to work.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a dryer according to the present invention is a dryer for drying a human body such as hair by discharging cold air or hot air. A scent imparting means for imparting scent to cold or warm air. According to this feature, a perfume or a fragrance spray does not directly touch the human body, so that rough skin and hair damage can be significantly reduced, and even when busy, a scent can be applied while drying the human body with a dryer, which is convenient. Alternatively, since these scents are produced through cold air or warm air discharged from a dryer, scents of appropriate strength can be attached to the human body.

In the dryer according to the present invention, the fragrance imparting means is arranged by disposing a porous member impregnated with a fragrance or a granular resin contained in the fragrance in a ventilation path of the dryer or in a reservoir communicating with the ventilation path. Preferably, it is formed. With this configuration, since the fragrance is disposed in a state of being impregnated in the porous member, the fragrance does not leak even when the dryer is moved and rotated in various directions.

[0007] In the dryer of the present invention, it is preferable that the position at which the scent is imparted to the air in the ventilation path is downstream of the heater of the dryer. In this case, the components of the scent can be prevented from being altered or decomposed without directly touching the heater of the dryer where the temperature of the scent is high.

[0008] The dryer of the present invention preferably has an incense adjusting means for varying the exposed area of the porous member. In this way, by adjusting the intensity of the scent of the air discharged from the dryer, the intensity of the scent adhering to the human body can be more precisely adjusted.

It is preferable that the dryer of the present invention has a scent adjusting means for changing an opening area of a communication port from the storage section to the ventilation path. In this way, by adjusting the intensity of the scent of the air discharged from the dryer, the intensity of the scent adhering to the human body can be more precisely adjusted.

[0010] In the dryer of the present invention, it is preferable that the fragrance imparting means is detachable. In this way, even when the scent of the scent imparting means is exhausted, the scent can be easily replaced, and the scent can be changed to a different scent.

[0011]
