Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a case for a hair dryer.

Conventionally, the main body of a hair dryer and a plurality of hair dryer attachments are housed side by side in a case for carrying.
No. 54-16683 discloses the case, but the height or thickness of the case requires enough height to accommodate the largest diameter of the storage parts, such as the main body of the dryer, so extra space is required inside. It had the disadvantage that it became larger as it was formed. Furthermore, since the shaft portion that connects the case body and the top cover in an openable and closable manner is located outside the case body, there is a drawback that the case body becomes long. For this reason, conventional hair dryer cases are not easy to hold and carry like a book, and require a large storage space when stored on a bookshelf or the like.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hair dryer case that can be made small and thin, and is convenient to carry and store.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 9. In other words, this hair dryer case is
A flat case body 3 stores the dryer body 1 and a plurality of dryer attachments 4 to 6 side by side, and the case body 3 is supported by a shaft portion 30 so as to be openable and closable, and the height when the lid is closed is set to the above-mentioned height. It is provided with an upper lid 22 having a storage height for the dryer attachments 4 to 6, and an enlarged portion 23 formed on the upper lid 22 at the shaft portion 30 and housing the dryer main body 3.

The dryer main body 3 has a rotary connector 1 at its rear end.
The power cord 2 is connected by a.

The dryer attachments 4 to 6 are of three types, all of which have a smaller diameter than the dryer main body 3.

The shaft portion 30 is composed of a shaft 8 and a shaft hole 25.

The case body 3 is formed of plastic such as ABS resin or polypropylene into a box shape with a shallow bottom, and the disc parts 7 and 7' are moved inward by a predetermined depth h while facing the rear ends of both side walls. A shaft 8 is formed at the center of the outer surface of the disk portions 7, 7', and a recess 9 is formed on the end surface to prevent sink marks during molding due to increased wall thickness. (Figure 8). Further, by forming an arcuate groove 10 of a predetermined width around the shaft 8 on the peripheral edge of the outer surface of the disk portion 7, and forming a click lock protrusion 11 on one end of the groove, a lock locking protrusion 11, which is one of the click lock uneven portions 31, is formed. Stop part 1
2 (Figure 3).

An intermediate frame 13 is fitted inside this case body 3, and the intermediate frame 13 is inserted between the opposing positions of the disc parts 7 and 7', and the length of the dryer body 1 is larger than its outer diameter as shown in FIG. A roughly semi-cylindrical storage recess 14 with a large inner diameter is formed with a shallow bottom, and support recesses 15 and 16 with inner diameters corresponding to the outer diameters of the rotary connector 1a and the discharge port 1b are formed at both ends of the storage recess 14, and the dryer main body 1 The switch 1c protruding from the front can be stored in either direction as shown in FIG. In addition, a cord storage recess 17 is formed on the support recess 15 side of the storage recess 14, and an attachment storage recess 1 is formed in the remaining part.
8 to 20 are formed, and at the same time, a disk part support piece 21 is bent out and formed inside the disk parts 7, 7' as shown in FIG. 8 to support and reinforce the disk parts 7, 7'. There is.

The upper cover 22 is made of transparent acrylic resin and has approximately the same shape as the case body 3, and the opening edge of the upper cover 22 is brought into contact with the opening edge of the case body 1, so that the circumferential side of the case is flush with the case height. The thickness of the upper cover 22 is made to be the same as the depth h of the disc parts 7 and 7', and the thickness of the upper cover 22 is made to be the same as the depth h of the disc parts 7 and 7', and the dryer body storage part 14 is Correspondingly, a semi-cylindrical enlarged portion 23 capable of housing the dryer main body 1 is formed, disk portions 24, 24' are formed at both ends thereof, and a shaft hole in the center of which the shaft 8 is rotatably fitted. 25, and a click lock protrusion 26, which is the other of the click lock concave and convex portions 31, is formed at a position opposite to the arcuate groove 10.
so that the lid is closed on the case body 3. Due to the unevenness of the click lock part 31, for example, the operating handle for locking the top cover 22 does not come out, so the appearance is good, and the click operation is light and reliable due to the appropriate elastic action. In addition, the front plate 22a which becomes the opening/closing operation part of the upper lid 22 is attached to the molding die 22 as shown in FIG.
The mating surfaces 29 of 7 and 28 are placed at a position offset from the abutment surface 22a' of the front side plate 22a to prevent burrs from forming at the corners of the abutment surface 22a' and hindering the opening/closing operation of the top cover 22. With this, a curved surface is formed at the corner.
In addition, the raised portion 22a'' is formed to make the burrs on the surface of the raised portion 22a'' less noticeable. The shaft hole 25 of the upper lid 22 is fitted onto the shaft 8 by tilting the disk portions 7, 7', 24, 24' using resin elasticity.

The enlarged portion 23 may be provided on the case body 3 side or on both the case body 3 and the upper lid 22.

As described above, the hair dryer case of the present invention is of a flat type in which a dryer main body and a plurality of dryer attachments having a smaller diameter than the dryer main body are housed side by side in a side-by-side manner, and the hair dryer case faces the rear ends of both side walls. A case body forming a disc part,
an upper lid having a disc part facing the outer surface of the disc part and having a height when the lid is closed on the case body as a storage height of the dryer attachment; A shaft is formed on one side of the disk portion of the top cover, and a shaft hole is formed on the other side to be rotatably fitted to the shaft to support the top cover so as to be openable and closable with respect to the case body. and a part of the disc part of one or both of the upper lids protrudes toward the surface side of either or both of the case body and the upper lid having the disc part, and between the part of the disc part of the upper lid. Since the dryer body is characterized in that an enlarged portion for accommodating the dryer body is continuously formed on the surface of the dryer, the following effects can be obtained.

That is, since the shaft and the shaft hole that rotatably support the case body and the top lid are formed in the disc portion formed in the side wall of the case body, the case can be made short and compact. Furthermore, since the height of the case is matched to the height of the dryer attachment, which has a smaller diameter than the dryer main body, extra space is eliminated and the product can be made thinner. For this reason,
It is easy to grasp and convenient to form and store on a bookshelf or the like. Furthermore, since the enlarged part that accommodates the dryer body is formed continuously on the disk part, it does not become larger than if it is provided in other parts, and the shape of the part with the shaft and shaft hole is made larger. This allows for increased strength and less cracking. Furthermore, the elasticity of the disk portion allows the top cover to be easily attached and detached, making assembly and disassembly easy.
