Description

Hair dryer that can supply nutrients {HAIR DRYER WHICH CAN PROVIDE NUTRIENTS}

The present invention relates to a hair dryer that can supply nutritionally beneficial nutrients such as vitamins to the hair and / or scalp of a user.

In general, a hair dryer applies commercial power from a power supply to a device to heat air sucked from the outside, and then blows the heated air toward the front of the device to remove water from the hair in a short time. Or to set the user's head to the desired shape.

1 and 2, a conventional hair dryer has a body (1) having a suction port (1a) and a discharge port (1b) for suctioning and discharging external air, respectively, and having a filter net (2a). 1) having an intake cover (2) coupled to the rear end of the nozzle, a discharge grill (3a) and the nozzle (3) coupled to the front end of the body (1) and the lower body and the intake cover (2) It comprises a handle portion 4 that is. In the body 1 of the hair dryer, a drive shaft 7 and a rotating shaft of the drive motor 7 and the drive motor 7, which are built in the flange 6 and driven to induce the flow of air through the suction port 1a and the discharge port 1b. A blowing fan 8 press-fitted into 7a to blow air from the suction port 1a to the discharge port 1b side is provided. In addition, such a conventional hair dryer is provided with a power cord 9 for supplying power to the drive motor 7 and a power switch 10 connected to the power cord 9 to turn on / off commercial power applied thereto. In addition, a heating wire 11 for heating the air sucked through the inlet 1a is provided by the radial support plate 12 between the discharge port 1b and the drive motor 7. The heating wire 11 provided by 12 is provided with the heat shield pad 13 enclosed.

In the conventional hair dryer having such a configuration, when the power switch 10 mounted on the front portion of the handle 4 is pressed, a commercial power source (AC 220V) is connected to the power cord 9 from a power supply (not shown). The drive motor 7 and the heating wire 11 is energized through. Then, the driving motor 7 is rotated at a set rotational speed according to the energized power, the heating wire 11 is heated to a set temperature, so that the user removes the water on the head in a short time or wants the user's head You can set the shape.

However, the above-described conventional hair dryer simply applies a high temperature strong wind to the user's hair and scalp and may cause unwanted damage to the user's hair and scalp. Such unwanted damage to hair and scalp may be caused by factors such as environmental pollution, various stresses, etc., in addition to the factors caused by the hair dryer.

Hair is composed of cuticle, cortex and medulla and is of great importance not only for the protection of the body (warm / moisture / friction reduction) but also for the aesthetics of modern man. External factors caused by chemical procedures and environmental pollution, internal factors such as malnutrition and excessive stress can easily damage hair and even lead to hair loss. The hair is made of a protein called keratin, and the hair is hydrophilic, so when the hair is dried, keratin degeneration is caused by the high temperature wind of the hair dryer, which may damage the hair.

The scalp consists of the stratum corneum, dermis, hair follicles, melanocytes, and glands, and healthy normal scalp is clear blue and white and transparent and clean. Oily scalp with excessive sebum secretion around the pores, frequent chemical procedures, and dry skin with excess moisture and oil removed from strong hair dryer heat can cause seborrheic inflammation, hair loss, and bacterial infections.

In the field of hair dryers, studies have been attempted to provide nutrients such as vitamin C to them without loss of nutrition in order to prevent damage to such hair and / or scalp. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that prevents cell aging and is involved in collagen synthesis, which binds tissue cells to strengthen cell tissues to maintain healthy hair and scalp. Prevents skin whitening effect, and also prevents oxidative damage by UV rays.

Representative examples of these are Korean Utility Model Registration No. 274585 (Suhan's name "Nutrient Injection Device for Hair Dryers") whose utility model holder is Kim Soo-jung, and Korean Utility Model Registration No. 192529 (Changeun Idea of Utility Model Holder). "Hair dryer"), Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-0085193 (the "hair dryer" of the invention), and the like, may be mentioned.

Utility Model Registration No. 274585 discloses a nutrient injector of a hair dryer that separately provides a nutrient reservoir inside the hair dryer, particularly a handle thereof, and controls the injection thereof by a separate injection switch. Utility Model Registration No. 192529 discloses a hair dryer capable of attaching and detaching a filtration member and a hollow directional member to an air inlet. Further, Patent Publication No. 2001-0085193 discloses a hair dryer in which a direction means is provided on the intake air inlet side.

However, the above practical and patent documents do not present a specific method for protecting hair and scalp, and the structure thereof is complicated, which makes it difficult to manufacture and operate.

The present invention is devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the object of the present invention is to supply a nutrient such as vitamin C to the hair and / or scalp of the user without the loss of nutrition by heat, the simple hair dryer Is in providing.

* Description of the symbols for the main parts of the drawings *

1: Body 1b: Outlet

20: material ejecting means U: fluid passage

22: cell 24: material to be ejected

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, as a material ejection means provided separably provided at the discharge port of the hair dryer, one or more fluid passages substantially parallel to the blowing direction is provided, the plurality of the fluid passages are partially open Cell is provided, the cell provides a hair dryer having a material ejection means impregnated with the ejectable material flowable by heat, moisture or both.

As a material of the material ejection means, a ceramic may be preferably used.

Preferred examples of the ejecting material include vitamin C intermediates in which part or all of water is removed from a gel type material, for example ascorbic acid. Alternatively, the jetting substance may be provided as a microcapsules or contained in microcapsules.

The interior of the cell is preferably oriented generally opposite to the discharge direction through the discharge port of the hair dryer.

As mentioned above, the hair dryer according to the present invention is impregnated in each cell with a substance to be flowed by heat, moisture or both, for example, a substance in the form of nutrients, in particular the vitamin C intermediate as described above. Since the material ejection means is detachably provided at the discharge port of the hair dryer, not only the damage caused by the heat of the ejection target material is minimized, but also its structure is simple and economically advantageous.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in particular FIGS. 3 to 5. Reference numerals 1 and 1b to be referred to below should be understood to represent the body and the discharge port of the hair dryer shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, it is to be understood that the material ejecting means 20 of the present invention can be applied to the outlet of any other hair dryer equipped with a blower and a heating wire as well as a hair dryer having a structure as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

3 is an exploded view of a part of the hair dryer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is an enlarged honeycomb unit shown in Figure 3, Figure 5 is distributed in each honeycomb unit The appearance of the impregnation of the gel type material in the cell is shown while the principle of operation is shown.

Referring to these drawings, the material ejection means 20, preferably the honeycomb material ejection means 20, used in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is separably separated from the outlet 1b of the hair dryer as shown. Is provided. As a material of the material ejection means 20, a porous ceramic is preferable. The material ejecting means 20 is provided with one or more fluid passages U which are generally parallel to the blowing direction. A plurality of cells 22 are distributed in each fluid passage U, and each cell 22 is impregnated with an ejectable substance 24 that can flow by heat, moisture, or both.
