Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a hair dryer of a type which is used by placing it on a dressing table or the like or hanging it on a wall.

[Conventional technology]

As this type of hair dryer, the air outlet of the dryer body placed on a dressing table or the like or hung on a wall is connected to the air outlet nozzle by a flexible air blow pipe, and the air outlet nozzle is connected by hand. There is one that I bring to dry my hair.
For example, JP-A-49-52789, JP-A-52-171706, JP-A-51-113687, JP-A-60-53203, JP-A-62-151803, etc. Corresponds to.

According to these, even if the dryer main body is placed at a low position, the blow-out nozzle can be used by changing it to an arbitrary position above the overhead within the length range of the blower pipe.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, most of the conventional stand-type or wall-mounted hair dryers with air ducts cannot hold the blowing nozzles in a fixed direction if most of them have the blowing nozzles in their hands. In addition, since the air blower pipe hangs outside the dryer body when not in use, a large installation space is required for the dryer, and it is possible to place other items such as makeup tools and toiletries on the same dressing table. It was easy to get in the way.

The present invention, in the above-described stand-type or wall-hanging type hair dryer with a blower tube, devises a method of storing the blower tube with respect to the dryer body, so that the blowing direction of the wind can be controlled without holding the blowing nozzle in the hand. It is an object of the present invention to allow the user to freely change both directions so that both hands can be freely used, and when not in use, it can be placed in a compact and compact storage state.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

To achieve the above object, in the hair dryer of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, a blower pipe 9 is connected to the blower port 8 at the tip of the dryer main body 1 having the heater 4 and the fan 5 built therein. The blower tube 9 has an expandable and retractable tube structure so that it can be extended from the blower opening when it is used and can be shortened and stored when not in use. Then, at the tip of the blower pipe 9, a cap 11 for varying the wind direction is provided at the blower outlet 10.
The posture can be freely switched between a wind-changing posture that reflects the wind from the wind and changes the blowing direction, and a retracting posture that blows the wind from the blow-out port 10 as it is.
Specifically, the cap 11 is formed in a cap shape having an opening on one side and a concave reflecting surface 13 inside, and one end of the opening edge of the cap 11 is attached to the outlet 10 at the tip of the blower pipe 9. As mentioned above, it is mounted so that it can be rotated freely. Also,
In a state where the blower pipe 9 is shortened and stored in the blower port 8, the cap 11 is detachably covered on the tip of the dryer body 1 so that it can be used as a cap for closing the blower pipe 9 and the blower port 8.

[Action]

When using, use the wind direction variable cap 11 for the dryer body 1
By removing the blower tube 9 from the tip and extending the blower tube 9 from the blower port 8, the blower outlet 10 at the tip of the blower tube 9 can be held at a desired height position from the dryer body 1. Further, by changing the wind direction changing / capping cap 11 to the wind changing orientation while the blower pipe 9 is extended, the wind from the outlet 10 can be received by the concave curved reflecting surface 13 and changed in a desired direction. Further, when the cap 11 is in the retracted posture,
The wind from 10 blows straight without hitting the cap 11.

When not in use, the blower tube 9 is shortened to be stored in the blower port 8, and the wind direction varying cap 11 is covered on the tip of the dryer body 1, so that the blower tube 9 can be compactly stored in the dryer body 1. The storage state can be secured.
