And the outlet is no longer circular, which causes problems such as difficulty in obtaining a prescribed air volume and an increase in wind noise.)

Further, when the brush member is removed, the outwardly facing locking claw becomes an obstacle and the appearance is poor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to reduce the size of the fitting portion without enlarging the outer shape, and to improve the appearance by preventing the locking claw from hindering when the brush member is removed. It is.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a brush member and a dryer main body are provided, and the dryer main body is provided with a step in an outlet to be fitted into a connection port of the brush member. A locking claw having an engagement portion facing outward is provided at the fitting portion thereof to engage with an engagement groove provided inside a connection port of the brush member, and the locking claw is provided. In the hair dryer with a brush provided with a fitting portion facing the groove for engagement and a projection inside the connection port and engaging the groove and the groove, the brush member is detachably provided at the fitting portion of the dryer main body. Instead of the locking claw and the engaging portion provided at the connection port of the brush member, a locking claw is provided at the connection port of the brush member so that the locking portion projects inside the connection port. Engaging with the engaging portion of the claw It had adopted a structure in which a groove for use in the step of fitting portion of the dryer body.

By adopting such a configuration, when the fitting portion of the dryer body is fitted into the connection port of the brush member, a locking claw locking portion projecting inside the connection port of the brush member is provided at the step. And engaged with the engaging groove.

On the other hand, even if the engagement is released and the brush member is removed from the dryer main body, the engagement portion of the locking claw projects out of the connection port, so that it does not become an obstacle. In addition, since only the engaging groove is provided in the fitting portion of the dryer main body, the outer shape is not increased.

At this time, if the brush member has a structure in which the teeth of the brush are formed on one side and a locking claw is provided on the other side, the locking member provided on the brush member may be used. Even when the claw forms a protruding portion on the brush member, the protruding portion is opposite to the tooth of the brush, so that it does not interfere with use.

At this time, the locking claw is formed at one end of a plate-like base formed of an elastic body with a locking portion projecting at a right angle, and the base is moved in the other end direction. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the pressing portion is divided into a wing portion formed on both sides thereof, and the divided pressing portion is obliquely bent in a direction opposite to the locking portion.

In the locking claw thus configured, when the wing portions are fixed and the pressing portion is pressed down, the locking portion is lifted by elasticity. Further, when the depressed pressing portion is released, the released locking portion is lowered to the original position. Conversely, when the wings are fixed and the locking part is pushed up, the pushing part goes down.

As long as both wings can be fixed in this way, for example, a locking claw can be constituted by this member alone without using another member such as a spring material such as a spring.
