Whether the main body case 3 has an intake port 7 on both upper and lower surfaces at the rear end and an outlet port 8 at the front end, and the fan 5 is rotated by driving the motor 6 to suck air from the intake port 7 and heat it by the heater 4. Blow out from the outlet 8 without heating.

The stand 2 is made of a plastic thin upper and lower case 10a, 10b.
And the rear end of the dryer body 1 is pivotally attached to the rear end of the upper case 10a so as to be rotatable around a shaft 11. Regarding the pivotal structure, as shown in FIG. 3, a face half formed on the rear end of the main body case 3 of the dryer main body 1 by forming left and right joints 12 and 12 on the rear end of the upper case 10a of the stand 2. By fitting the circular joint 13 between the joints 12 and 12 and inserting the shaft 11 through the joints 12, 12, and 13 of these three parts, the dryer main body 1 can be rotated around the shaft 11 on the stand 2. Further, the dryer main body 1 is configured so that its rotation angle can be variably adjusted. That is, between the sliding contact surfaces of the joint 12 on the table 2 side and the joint 13 on the dryer body 1 side, the spherical portion of the ball 14 is projected from the joint 12 of the former by the pressing force of the spring 15, while the joint 13 of the latter is formed. A plurality of radial grooves 16 with which a spherical part of the ball 14 engages are radially arranged at a predetermined angle, and the dryer body 1 is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the stand 2 as shown in FIG. As the ball 14 is rotated clockwise around the shaft 11 from the folded state, the dryer main body 1 is held in a disciplined posture at an arbitrary angle by the balls 14 sequentially falling into and engaging with the grooves 16. It is possible to return to the original folding posture by sequentially rotating it counterclockwise from the discipline posture.
