Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a handle structure of a hair dryer, in which an electric cord for power input can be regularly wound, whereby entanglement and entanglement of an electric cord can be eliminated, and further, the hair dryer can be fixed. The present invention relates to a hair dryer that can be hung on a hanger.

[0001]

[Prior art]

 Hair dryers are widely used as a means for drying or styling hair at home, a beauty salon, a public bath, or the like. Many hair dryers are currently manufactured and commercially available. FIG. 4 shows a conventional general hair dryer 50. A commercially available hair dryer has an air blower provided in a housing 32 and a cylindrical portion 30 extending from the air blower. Further, a heating means (not shown) is provided inside the hair dryer 50 and is heated by the heating means. The hot air is sent outward from an opening 34 provided in the front surface of the cylindrical portion 30.

Further, the hair dryer 50 includes a handle 40 fixed to the housing 32, and an electric cord 41 extending outward from a lower end portion of the handle 40. An electric plug 42 for electrically connecting to an external power source (not shown) is attached to the end of the electric cord 41.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When storing the hair dryer 50 in, for example, a drawer, many users typically bundle the electrical cords 41 for input or wrap them around the handle 40 and / or the barrel 30. However, for example, when the electric cord 41 is wound around the handle 40 and / or the cylindrical portion 30, the handle 40 or the cylindrical portion 30 of the dryer 50 does not have a means for winding the electric cord 41 in an orderly manner. Therefore, the electric cord 41 is completely chaotically wound, and therefore, the chaotically wound electric cord 41 is entangled or entangled. As a result, the next time it is used, it cannot be smoothly rewound, and it is often very inconvenient. Therefore, there has been a demand for a hair dryer capable of smoothly rewinding the electric cord 41 without being entangled or tangled with the handle 40 or the cylindrical portion 30 of the dryer 50.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a cord supporting portion 13 extending from the handle 12 is provided substantially parallel to the tubular portion 11, and the surface of the cord supporting portion 13 has a large number of grooves 14. A handle structure of a hair dryer having a wavy surface 23 formed by arranging a peak 15 and a peak 15, and a hanging hook 16 formed by bending an end of the cord supporting portion 13 inward. The present invention relates to a handle structure of a hair dryer 10 having the features described above.

According to the first aspect of the invention, “a housing 17, a tubular portion 11 extending from the housing 17, a handle 12 having an upper end portion 21 attached to the housing 17, and a lower end of the handle 12 are provided. In the hair dryer 10 having the electric cord 19 extending from the portion 22 toward the outside of the hair dryer 10, the cord support portion 13 provided at the lower end portion 22 of the handle 12 is substantially parallel to the cylindrical portion 11, A gist of the hair dryer 10 is that the electric cord 19 can be wound around the cord supporting portion 13 and the cylindrical portion 11.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, “The cord supporting portion has a plurality of grooves 14 and a corrugated surface on which the peaks 15 are juxtaposed. The hair dryer 10 "according to claim 1 is characterized in that it can be wound while being wound.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a suspension hook having a cord support portion provided on the handle, the end portion of which is bent inward. "Yari dryer 10" is the gist.

[0008]

[Action]

 The invention according to claim 1 includes: a housing; a tubular portion extending from the housing; a handle having an upper end attached to the housing; and an electric cord extending from the lower end of the handle toward the outside of the hair dryer. In the hair dryer having the above, the cord supporting portion provided at the lower end portion of the handle is opposed to and substantially parallel to the tubular portion, and the electric cord can be wound around the cord supporting portion and the tubular portion.

The invention according to claim 2 has the corrugated surface 23 formed by arranging many grooves 14 and peaks 15 side by side on the surface of the cord supporting portion 13, so that the electric cords 19 are sequentially arranged in the groove 14. You can wind it in an orderly manner while arranging it in the.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the hook 16 for hanging the cord supporting portion 13 is bent inward so that the cord supporting portion 13 can be easily hung on a hanger provided on a wall surface. Act as you can.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. It has an existing cylindrical tube portion 11, and the housing 17 and the tube portion 11 are provided with heating means and air blowing means (both not shown). An opening 18 is provided on the front surface of the tubular portion 11 so that hot air can be sent toward the outside of the hair dryer 10. The construction of the air blowing means and heating means and any other necessary means may be obvious to a person skilled in the art and will therefore not be described in further detail.

Further, an upper end portion 21 of the handle 12 is attached to the housing 17 of the hair dryer 10 so that the user can operate the hair dryer 10 while gripping the handle 12. . Providing a handle 12 on the hair dryer 10 is also known and will not be described in further detail.

Further, the hair dryer 10 has an electric cord 19 extending from a lower end portion 22 of the handle 12, and an electric plug 20 is attached to a tip of the electric cord 19 to electrically connect to a wall outlet, for example. By doing so, external power can be input.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, a cord support portion 13 extending from the lower end portion 22 of the handle 12 is provided, and the cord support portion 13 is substantially parallel to the tubular portion 11. It is formed as a pair of arms facing the tubular portion 13. Therefore, the electric cord 19 can be easily and neatly wound around them.

The surface of the cord supporting portion 13 is formed into a corrugated surface 23 in which many grooves 14 and peaks 15 are alternately arranged. Therefore, the electric cords 19 can be wound while being arranged in the grooves 14, respectively, and the electric cords 19 act so as to be arranged very regularly around the cord supporting portion 13 and the cylindrical portion 11.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, a hook 16 or a ring formed by bending an end portion of the cord support portion 13 inward is formed. This hook 16 or ring acts so that it can be locked to a fixed hanger 24 provided on a wall surface, for example.

It goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented by changing the shape, size, etc. of a part thereof without departing from the technical idea described above.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 According to the first aspect of the invention, the electric cord 19 can be easily and regularly wound around the cord supporting portion 13 and the cylindrical portion 11 of the hair dryer 10, and can be compactly stored in the drawer, for example. Furthermore, since the electric cord is not entangled or entangled, it has an excellent effect that it can be smoothly rewound during the next use.

The invention according to claim 2 has a large number of grooves 14 on the surface of the cord supporting portion 13 and the corrugated surface 23 provided with the peaks 15 arranged side by side. It can be rolled up in an orderly manner while being placed inside, for example, it can be compactly stored in a drawer. Further, since the electric cord 19 is not entangled or entangled, it has an effect that it can be smoothly rewound in the next use.

According to the third aspect of the invention, by providing the hanging hook 16 which is formed by bending the end of the cord supporting portion 13 inward, it can be easily hung on a hanger provided on a wall surface, for example. Therefore, it is possible to suspend and store the hair dryer, for example, by engaging with a fixed hanger provided on the wall surface.
