Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a so-called stationary hair dryer.

[Conventional technology]

As this type of hair dryer, for example, JP-A-56-
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 104195, a dryer body incorporating a heater and a blower fan is pivotally mounted on a support table provided with a power switch, and the support table is placed on a table. There is one in which a dryer main body is raised and rotated from a support base to be used on a desk.

According to this, when not in use, the dryer body can be folded low on use, and when drying and setting the hair, both hands are free and a convenient posture can be used.

However, when the dryer main body is rotated at a large angle in the upright direction when used on a desk, the dryer body is likely to fall down, so that there is a disadvantage that the rotational angle in the upright direction is limited.

A desk-type hair dryer provided with a means for preventing such a fall has been proposed. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-16329
As shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H11-209, there is a type in which a folding handle of a dryer main body is attached, and a pair of left and right stands are retractably housed in the handle. When used on a table, the handle is erected by a predetermined angle with respect to the dryer body, the left and right stands are pulled out from the handle, and these handles and the stand are placed on the table for use.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, according to the latter hair dryer, in tabletop use, it can be placed stably with the support of the stand pulled out from the handle, but there is an annoyance that the left and right stands must be taken in and out of the handle one by one, and Since the left and right stands were assembled separately from the handle, the handle structure was more complicated.

The present invention solves such a problem, and in the former stationary type hair dryer as described above, by improving the fall prevention means added to this, it is possible to ensure an improvement in stability in tabletop use, and Another feature of the present invention is to simplify the structure by using another member as the fall prevention means.

[Means for solving the problem]

In the hair dryer of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a heater body 1 having a heater 4 and an air blower 7, a blower outlet 11 at a front end side, and a hinge portion 25 at a rear end side, and a heater 4 and a support base 2 provided with a switch 46 for controlling power supply to the blower 7.

A hinge portion 25 of the dryer main body 1 is pivotally mounted on the support base 2 around a horizontal axis 29 passing therethrough.

Then, a lead wire 50 connected to the heater 4 and the blower 7 is passed through the hinge portion 25 and is led out from a wiring hole 52 opened in the hinge portion 25, and the switch 50 on the support base 2 side.
