Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] This invention relates to a hair dryer.

[Background technology]

In a hair dryer intended for travel portability, a cord 2 is attached to the outer periphery of the dryer body 1 when stored.
In some cases, a rib 3 is provided on a part of the periphery of the dryer body 1 so that the cord 2 can be wrapped around the cord 2 (Fig. 1).

However, this hair dryer is difficult to use because it does not have a handle and you can hold the dryer body 1 directly, and the plug 4 at the end of the cord does not stop properly when storing the cord. It has the disadvantage that it comes apart easily and is very inconvenient when stored. On the other hand, there were hair dryers in which a handle was detachably attached to the dryer body so that the handle could be separated from the dryer body when stored (for example, Utility Model No. 53005/1983), but the handle was separated when stored. If this happens, there is a risk of the handle getting lost, and the plug does not stop when the cord is wrapped around the dryer body, so the cord tends to come loose as described above.

[Purpose of invention]

Therefore, an object of this invention is to provide a hair dryer whose handle can be stored without separating it and whose cord is difficult to come loose.

[Disclosure of invention]

This invention includes a dryer main body having first locking portions provided on both sides of the grip attachment position and second locking portions provided on both sides near the plug of the cord wound around the outer periphery. , the cross section is substantially U-shaped so that the plug can be accommodated, and a first engaging part capable of being engaged with the first engaging part is provided inside one end in the longitudinal direction of both side pieces, and the second engaging part is provided with a first engaging part capable of being engaged with the first engaging part; The handle includes a second engaging portion that can be engaged with the stop portion and is provided inside the opening edge in the width direction of the both side pieces.

According to the configuration of this invention, the first engaging part of the handle is engaged with the first engaging part of the dryer body when in use, making it easy to use, and when stored, the second engaging part of the handle is engaged with the first engaging part of the dryer body. Since the plug is locked to the second locking part of the handle, there is no chance of losing the handle, and the plug is stored inside the handle, making it difficult for the cord to come loose.

An embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGS. 2 to 8. That is, cord wrapping ribs 6 are formed at the three corners of the dryer body 5, and two handle fitting protrusions 7 are formed on both sides of the handle attachment position, and the fitting protrusions are used for positioning and retaining. A first locking portion formed by forming a stepped convex portion 8 is provided. Further, second locking portions 11 are formed on both surfaces of the dryer main body 5, corresponding to the position of the plug 10 of the cord 9 when the cord 9 is wound around the outer periphery of the dryer main body 5, in the form of locking projections. On the other hand, the handle 12 is made of synthetic resin and has a substantially U-shaped cross section as shown in FIGS. A second engaging portion 13 is formed, the corresponding locking recess being an example, and a grooved line 14 corresponding to the fitting protrusion 7 and the protrusion 8 are formed inside one longitudinal end of the both sides. A first engaging portion consisting of a recess 15 corresponding to the first engaging portion is provided. Also handle 12
Due to its shape, a plug locking portion 16 is formed on the side opposite to the grooved line 14.

When using the hair dryer, move from the solid line in Fig. 2 in the direction of the arrow as shown by the imaginary line, and use the elasticity of the resin to attach the concave line 14 of the first engaging part to the fitting convex line 7 of the first locking part. The convex portion 8 of the first locking portion
When the concave portion 15 of the first engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion, the attached state is achieved. The stored state of the cord 9 is as shown in FIG. 2, where the cord 9 is supported by the rib 6 of the dryer main body 5 and wrapped around the outer circumference, and the second engaging part 13 of the handle 12 is connected to the second engaging part 13 by its resin elasticity. It is locked in the stop part 11. At this time, the plug 10 is located inside the handle 12, and the plug locking portion 16
The neck of the holder is engaged to ensure secure fixation.

On the other hand, the dryer main body 5 has a filter 17, a ring-shaped suction port 18, and a discharge port 19 as shown in FIG. A Shirotsuko fan 24 is attached to the motor shaft 23, a heater (not shown) is disposed inside the discharge port 19, and the heater and motor 22 are operated by a slide switch 25. In this dryer main body 5, the filter 17
has a larger area (width b) than the ring-shaped suction port 18 (width a), and is removably attached to the mounting hole 27 of the dryer main body 5 with a hook 26.
The center portion is supported by a dent prevention support rib 28 of the dryer main body 5. Further, the pair of filters 17 are formed by a filter mesh 30 stretched over a lattice-shaped rib portion 29, and both have the same size and shape.

With this configuration, the handle 12 is provided when in use, making it easy to use, and when stored, there is no handle 12 and the plug 10 is removed using the handle 12.
Since it is fixed, the storage space is small and the cord 9 does not come loose. Further, since the ventilation area of the filter 17 is larger than that of the suction port 18, a long life can be achieved by preventing dust from entering the dryer main body 5 without reducing the suction capacity of the suction port 18 and reducing air blowing efficiency. Note that the filter 17 is detachable and can be replaced.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the hair dryer of this invention is convenient to use because the first engaging part of the handle engages with the first engaging part of the dryer body when in use, and when stored, the second engaging part of the handle engages with the first engaging part of the dryer body. Since the engaging part is locked to the second locking part of the dryer main body, there is no chance of losing the handle, and since the plug is stored inside the handle, there is an effect that the cord is less likely to come loose.
