Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a hair dryer that also serves as an iron, in which an iron base is removably attached to the hot air outlet of a general hair dryer used, for example, in a hair dryer. This invention relates to a locking device that locks the base so that it does not fall off during use.

Generally, the detachable structure of iron bases etc.
A fitting connection structure is used to improve ease of use, but during ironing work, the iron base often slides under pressure, making it easy for the iron base to fall off during use. However, in order to eliminate this drawback, if the iron base was firmly connected, there were drawbacks such as difficulty in attaching and detaching the iron base.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. Specifically, it provides a locking device with a simple structure that firmly holds an ironing base during ironing work and facilitates the removal of the ironing base. It is something.

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

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the dryer, 2 is the switch, 3 is the motor, 4 is the fan fixed to the motor 3, 5 is the air intake port provided on the top surface of the main body 1, and 6 is the main body with many small holes in the thickness direction. 7 is an insulating case for insulating and holding the thermistor 6, and 8 is an outlet cover provided at the bottom of the main body 1 to open a hot air outlet 9 at the bottom of the main body 1. .

Reference numeral 10 denotes an ironing base detachably provided to cover the air outlet cover 8 of the main body 1, as indicated by the arrow a.
A base cover 13 provided with a locking piece 12 that slides in one direction and engages with a locking groove 11 formed in the outlet cover 8, as shown in FIG.
It is provided with an operating rod 14 that is slidable in a direction that intersects with the sliding direction of 0, for example, in a direction that is perpendicular to it.

The operating rod 14 is made of resin, and is provided with a protruding portion 16 approximately in the center thereof so as to correspond to the engaging portion 15 provided on the outlet cover 8.
The base cover 1 is attached to the surface opposite to the protruding direction of 6.
A protruding tongue piece 17 is provided between the rear side wall 13a of No. 3 and the rear side wall 13a.

The tongue piece 17 is integrally molded with the operating rod 14, and can generate an appropriate repulsive force by bending. This tongue piece 17 applies a certain spring biasing force between the base cover 13 and the outlet cover 8, and the tongue piece 17 is not provided.
An ordinary spring plate or the like may be interposed, and in short, an elastic body may be provided between the operating rod 14 and the iron base 10 within the sliding range.

In the above configuration, when attaching the ironing base 10, the locking piece 12 is fitted into the locking groove 11 and the ironing base 10 is slid in the direction of arrow a. Then, the operating rod 14 is slid in the b direction so that an elastic force is applied in the sliding direction, the protrusion piece 16 is released from the engagement part 15, the tongue piece 17 is compressed, and this state is firmly maintained. It is something. In addition, when removing the iron base 10, it is sufficient to perform the operation opposite to that described above.

As described above, the present invention is equipped with a locking device mainly consisting of an operating rod that firmly holds a removable ironing base attached to the main body of the dryer. The ironing base does not fall off easily and can apply sufficient pressure to clothing, etc., thus providing a good ironing finish, and
Even when removing the iron base, since it uses frictional resistance that simply slides against the elastic force of the elastic body acting on the operating body, the structure of the operating body can be simplified and removed. It is also easy to operate. Furthermore, since the operating body is provided on the side of the ironing base which is detachable from the main body of the hair dryer, there is an effect that the user-friendliness is not deteriorated when used as a hair dryer.
