BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, a small and lightweight hair dryer which is usually placed on the floor and used as a household electric appliance in place of a relatively large vacuum cleaner is grasped with one hand. There is provided a hair dryer attachment that uses the inhalation side of the as a source of inhalation airflow for absorbing dandruff or hair debris. Therefore, the hair dryer attachment according to the present invention has a form in which it is used by being attached to the airflow inlet on the side opposite to the cold air or hot air outlet, which has the main function of the hair dryer. The object of use is mainly relatively short hair of men, long hair mainly of women, and the like, and it is desirable to provide another embodiment suitable for each of these short hair and long hair.

[0006]

Embodiment 1 A hair dryer attachment of the present invention in a first embodiment which can be mainly adapted to short hair will be described with reference to FIG. The attachment 10 includes a cylindrical main body 11 that is relatively short in diameter, and one end in the axial direction thereof has a generally cylindrical hair dryer main body a.
An opening 12 fitted in the outer peripheral edge of the air flow inlet c on the side opposite to the outlet b in the axial direction of
The other axial end of the dome surface 13 bulging outward in the axial direction, and a plurality of similar combing protrusions 14 protruding outward in the axial direction, and in this case, each protrusion 14 penetrates in the longitudinal direction. A suction unit 16 having a large number of suction holes 15 opened at the tip is formed. A suction hole 15 is provided inside the main body 11.
Net 17 for collecting dandruff or hair debris sucked from
It is desirable to attach the so as to be detachable from the opening 12 side.

When the opening 12 is manufactured as a specific hair dryer attachment, the inner diameter of the opening 12 is adapted to the outer diameter of the dryer so that the opening 12 has a fitting length capable of obtaining a sufficient holding force. When using a versatile attachment, for example, make the inner diameter of at least the fitting part slightly larger than the average value and attach a thick annular cushion to the inner peripheral surface so that it can be used for dryers of several outer diameters. To

The combing projection 14 having the through-hole suction hole 15 is not limited to one having a ring-shaped cross section, but may be one having an elliptical projection or both may be used in combination. In either case, their tips should have a rounded shape that does not damage the scalp. The suction holes 15 may also have a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or any one of these shapes in combination, and it is desirable that the protrusions 14 be arranged at substantially equal intervals.

If the user grips the grip portion d protruding laterally from the hair dryer main body a and sets the position of the switch to, for example, "cold air", the blower in the hair dryer operates and blows out from the suction portion c. Airflow in the direction of the arrow toward the mouth b is generated. Since the air flow to the inhaling part c is sucked in from the inhaling part 16 of the hair dryer attachment 10 of the present invention, if the hair combing protrusion 14 is applied to the scalp and moved or rotated, dandruff or hair debris on the scalp and in the hair will be removed. Due to this suction airflow, it is sucked from the suction hole 15 of the hair combing protrusion 14 and collected by the net 17 in the main body 11. If the switch of the hair dryer is set to "warm air", the heating element for air flow heating in the dryer is in a state of generating heat at a high temperature, so fine dandruff or hair scraps not collected by the net 17 are generated in this heating element. Can be incinerated by contact with.

[0010]

Embodiment 2 Secondly, which is mainly adapted to long hair
The hair dryer attachment of the present invention in the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, attachment 2
0 is the main body 2 including the opening 22 at one end and the net 27 inside
1 is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but the suction unit 26 at the other end is different. That is, the suction portion 26 is attached to the main body 2 at the tip of the truncated cone 28 whose diameter is reduced from the main body 21.
The elongated tubular body 23 protruding along the axis of 1
3 has a diameter smaller than that of the main body 21 and has a closed tip, and is provided with a large number of combing projections 24 extending at right intervals to the axis at equal intervals over the entire length thereof. The suction hole 25 is provided by penetrating these combing projections 24 in the longitudinal direction and opening at the tip.

Therefore, when the hair dryer having the attachment 20 shown in FIG. 2 is operated and the hair combing protrusions 24 of the tube body 23 of the attachment are used like a comb to comb the hair, dandruff or hair scraps in the hair are generated. Is sucked into the pipe body 23 by the air flow sucked from the suction hole 25, and is collected by the net 27 in the main body 21. If the hair dryer is set to warm air, fine dandruff or hair debris not collected by the net 27 can be incinerated by the heating element.
It is similar to the embodiment.

Third Embodiment FIG. 3 shows a hair dryer attachment 30 of the present invention in a third embodiment, in which the main body 31 is provided with a flexible tube 38 which connects between the opening 32 and the suction portion 36. The flexible tube 38 may have substantially the same diameter as the opening 32 or the suction portion 36, but preferably has a small diameter and a long length, and the suction portion 36 can be freely separated from the opening 32 attached to the suction portion of the hair dryer. It can be moved to. The suction hole 35 may be provided by penetrating the hair combing protrusion 34 in the longitudinal direction similarly to the first and second embodiments, but in the third embodiment, as another example, as shown in FIG. It is provided on the surface 33.

In FIG. 3, the suction portion 36 is substantially the same as the suction portion 16 for short hair in FIG. 1, but it is of course possible to make it the same as the suction portion 26 for long hair in FIG. Further, the suction portion 36 may be divided into a base portion and a tip end portion fitted to the base portion, and the tip end portion may be formed into two types, that is, the dome shape shown in FIG. 1 and the tubular shape shown in FIG. In that case, the net 37 may be arranged at the entrance of the base of the suction part 36.
