Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention enables the use of an iron and hair dryer without having to attach or detach the iron base to the hot air outlet of a general hair dryer used for drying hair, etc. This invention relates to an iron/hair dryer which is rotatably attached to the main body of the dryer to improve its usability as an iron.

Conventionally, as a means for adding an ironing function to this type of dryer, it is common to detachably attach an ironing base as an attachment to a hot air outlet.

However, with this structure, when used as a hair dryer, the iron base must be removed from the main body, and the attachment must be handled carefully so as not to be lost when not in use.

This invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method by attaching the ironing base so that it can rotate freely and facing the hot air outlet, making it possible to use both the iron and the hairdryer separately without having to attach or remove the ironing base from the dryer itself. This is what I did.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a heating element made of a thermistor having a positive temperature coefficient of resistance and having a large number of ventilation holes. It's stuck at 3.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a main body case of a dryer, in which a heating element 1 is housed and a base 3 is attached, and a switch 5 for switching off, cold air, hot air, etc. is provided.

6 is a fan fixed to the motor 7; 8 is an iron base rotatably mounted opposite the hot air outlet 2 of the main body 1; it has almost the same shape as the base 3; for example, as shown in FIG. It has an oval shape as shown, and has a ventilation hole 9 facing the outlet 2.

10 is a mounting member for rotatably mounting the ironing base 8, and the ironing base 8 is mounted eccentrically.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a hollow space provided between the base 3 and the ironing base 8, and a discharge port 12 which is a relatively small opening for releasing hot air when the ventilation hole 9 is closed from the ironing surface of the ironing base 8. is formed.

When using the present invention configured as described above as a hair dryer, for example, the iron base 8 is set in the state shown in FIG. The iron base 8 can be safely used without heating the entire ironing base 8 to a high temperature.

It can also be used as an iron in this state.

In this case, when the ironing base 8 is pressed against the clothes to be ironed, the ventilation hole 9 is closed and the hot air is forced into the hollow part 11.
The hot air is filled with hot air to rapidly heat the ironing base 8, and the hot air is emitted from the hot air outlet 12 to continuously replenish heat and maintain a temperature sufficient for ironing.

When the ironing surface is separated from the clothes and the ventilation holes 9 are opened, the heating of the ironing base 8 is interrupted, but the ironing base 8 is heated again by pressing the clothes, so that the work can be carried out without any trouble.

By rotating this iron base 8, a part of it can be projected from the front end of the dryer body as shown in Figure 4, making it possible to finish small parts.
Select and use according to the purpose.

As described above, the present invention has an iron base attached to the hot air outlet, a ventilation hole for the hot air outlet, and a relatively small amount of hot air released between the dryer body and the iron base. By providing an outlet, the iron base can be used for both an iron and a hair dryer without having to be attached or removed, making it extremely convenient to use and also serving as a blow-out cover essential for a hair dryer.

In addition, this ironing base is eccentrically attached to the hot air outlet so that it can rotate freely, allowing a portion of the ironing base to protrude forward from the main body of the dryer, making it possible to effectively finish small areas. The usability of the iron has also been improved.
