Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a hair dryer that includes a handle and a dryer body.

In a conventional dryer of this kind, the handle is provided to protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the dryer main body, and is integrally molded with the dryer main body or is attached to the dryer main body in a non-removable manner.

Therefore, conventional hair dryers are carried and stored in what is called a pistol-shaped exterior, but their large size makes them bulky and inconvenient to carry. There was an inconvenience in that it required a lot of things like that.

This idea was devised based on the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to make it convenient for carrying and storing by attaching the handle to the dryer body in a removable manner. The aim is to provide an easy-to-use hair dryer.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a dryer, which has a cylindrical shape that can be used by directly holding it without using a handle, which will be described later. 3 is attached, and the tapered portion at the other end is formed as an intake portion having an intake hole 4.

In this main body 1, a heating element 5 is disposed on the side of the air outlet, a fan 6 is disposed on the side of the suction part, and a motor 7 is disposed between them. The air sucked in is optionally heated and blown out from the blow-off port body 3.

Further, the air outlet body 3 has a plurality of rectifier plates 3a...
is provided inside, and a locking portion 3b made of a protrusion or the like is provided on the outer circumferential surface.

In this outlet body 3, for example, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Fumarole C...
Attachment for hair curling with...A)
is designed to be removably fitted.

There are other types of attachments (A), and all of these connection parts are standardized and have the same size, so the user can arbitrarily select the necessary attachment and attach it to the outlet body 3.
Moreover, these are held in a fitted state by being locked with the locking portion 3b so that they do not turn inadvertently.

In addition, a power cord 9 is provided to the intake portion via a cord protector 8, and the outlet body 3 of the main body 1 is provided with a power cord 9 through a cord protector 8.
An operation switch 10 is attached to the lower circumferential surface of the side for switching between cold air and hot air by turning on and off the heating element 5, and for controlling the power source.

Further, on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical member 2 of the dryer main body 1, long grooves 11, 11, which are radially opposed and run along the axial direction of the cylindrical member 2, are provided.
This is provided.

Further, reference numeral 12 in the figure is a handle that can be attached and detached from the dryer main body 1, and this is molded from synthetic resin, and includes a grip portion 13 and a bifurcated, for example, U-shaped main body support portion 14 provided at the upper end of the grip portion 13. It has a spiky shape.

The main body support part 14 has a shape that sandwiches approximately half the outer circumferential surface of the dryer main body 1 from both sides, and the long groove 11 is formed on the inner surface of the end thereof.
It is integrally formed with projections 15 and 15 that snap into place.

Therefore, in order to use the hair dryer of this embodiment as a so-called pistol type, the main body support part 14 of the handle 12 is inserted into the cylindrical member 2 of the main body 1 of the dryer. It fits into the cylindrical member 2 while being elastically deformed, and when the fitting is completed, the protrusion 15 engages the long groove 11, thereby connecting the dryer main body 1 and the handle 12.

Therefore, by gripping the handle 12 and operating the operating switch 10, desired hair drying can be performed.

Furthermore, when only the dryer main body 1 is used without using the handle 12, the main body support part 14 is elastically deformed by strongly pulling the handle 12, and the engagement between the protrusion 15 and the long groove 11 is disengaged. The handle 12 can be easily removed from the main body 1, and after this, the cylindrical member 2 is directly held to dry the hair.

In this case, by attaching the optional attachment (A) to the air outlet body 3 and performing drying, it is possible not only to dry the hair such as curling but also to style the hair as desired, which is convenient in practice. It is.

As described above, the dryer main body 1 and handle 12 are removable, so when carrying or storing this dryer, the dryer main body 1 and handle 12 can be separated and carried or stored. , it is not bulky and is practically convenient.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the user can select any mode of use, such as whether or not to use the handle 12, and the structure for attaching and detaching the dryer main body 1 and the handle 12 is also based on concave-convex fitting. Therefore, it has a very simple structure, can be manufactured at low cost, and is extremely easy to attach and detach.

Note that this invention is not limited to the one embodiment described above, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. For example, the relationship between the long grooves and the protrusions may be reversed, and in short, the relationship between the long groove and the protrusion may be reversed. It is only necessary to provide a long groove on one of the surfaces facing the main body support part, and a protrusion that elastically fits into the long groove on the other side.

Furthermore, this idea is not limited to a dryer that can be used alone; when electrical components such as operation switches are housed in the handle and connected to the dryer, the handle and the electrical components in the dryer are electrically connected. Therefore, the main body of the dryer is not limited to a cylindrical shape, but may be formed in any shape.

As explained above, this invention allows the handle to be attached to and removed from the main body of the dryer, making it convenient for carrying and storing.

The structure for fixing the handle to the dryer main body is such that the two-pronged main body support part holds the dryer main body from both sides, and the long groove and the protrusion are elastically engaged. It is only necessary to insert and remove the main body support part from the main body of the dryer, and the attachment and detachment can be easily performed with a so-called one-touch operation.

Moreover, since the dryer main body is sandwiched between the forked main body support portions and the protrusions are fitted into the long grooves along the axial direction of the dryer main body to prevent movement, the dryer main body is stopped from moving. This has great practical effects, such as being able to reliably hold the main body support part of the handle and preventing the handle from wobbling.
