Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to hairdryers, and, more particularly, to portable combination hair moisturizers and dryers.
  • the present invention can be regarded as an improvement over the portable hooded hair moisturizer and dryer disclosed and claimed in copending US. patent application, Ser. No. 299,839, filed Octf24, 1972, which patent application is owned by a common assignee with the present application.
  • the present invention relates to an improvement in those hair dryers having rigid dryer head assemblies which include portions thereof adapted to surround at least a part of thehead of the user and which are occasionally referred to in the trade as hard hat" hair dryers.
  • a preferred embodiment of the presentinvention relates generallyto hair dryersof the type having the configuration of an articulated nestable fZ.
  • Hard hat dryers are. readily distinguishable from other types of dryers such as dryers having flexible bags or caps which surround the head of the user and which include a flexible hose-like conduit extending between the cap and a blower for heated air, and from dryers of the hand-held type, wherein no means are provided for surrounding any substantial portion of the head of the user.
  • dryers of both the hand-held type and flexible cap type are proven acceptable to the trade, it is wellknown that hair dryers having the rigid dryer head or hood units are superior in use, principally because they are sufficiently rigid to contain a fixed mass, lack'of portability, and the requirement of using substantial amounts of electrical current.
  • the hard-hat dryer disclosed in that patent application provides a head assembly and a base, each of which are respectively pivotally mounted at opposite ends of the head mounting assembly on parallel horizontal axes in such a manner that the head and the base assembly can be pivoted with respect to the head assembly to nest the base and head mounting assembly within the head assembly, or it can be opened into the general configuration of a 2" without requiring dismantling or separation and reassembly of the dryer.
  • the head assembly included an upper shell disposed above, and about a generally annular plenum, and this shell is pivotally mounted on a separate horizontal axis to expand the volume generally enclosed by theannular plenum and shell assembly.
  • the air heater is located in the middle head support assembly.
  • hard hat hair dryers have proven acceptable and are emminently satisfactory for use as dryers readily lend themselves for emminently satisfactory use by a user having a number of relatively large curlers in her hair at the time of use.
  • hair setting is responsible for the characteristic known as hair setting.
  • hair setting is well known that water softens hair and in some instances to such an extent that it can be stretched when totally wet up tolseveral times its initial length without breaking. Furthermore, there is no criticalpoint of full wetness which must be attained before the hair can be so influenced. The ability of hair to be stretech is reported to increase in proportion to the amount of water it has absorbed, either from liquid water, or from water vapor present in the arr.
  • this system comprises a natural inter-molecular hydrogen bonding mixture of attached hydrogen bonds in equilibrium with some that are not attached.
  • the ratio of the attached to unat- .tached bonds also depends in part on the number of available water molecules within the system. The greater the number of attached bonds (as in dry hair) the harder and stiffer is the system. As more ,of these hydrogen bonds become unattached (as in moisturized,
  • Hot dry curlers can curl hair under certin conditions, but the curlsresulting will depend on the amount of moisture already in the hair at the start of the procedure- Such curls appear because of the drying out of the moisture produced new hydrogen bonds in configuration to hold the curl. However, these bonds will be constantly straining against bonds thatwere not previously broken, and against compressive or stretching forces that were not previously relieved, and, thus, the curls formed by the hot dry curlers will not remain as permanently. If moisture is added as in the hot wet curlers, or by means of a moisture-laden air-mist mixture, then more hydrogen bonding of the old configuration is released, relieving the internal molecular memory" I forces. Then. during re-drying, new hydrogen bonding occurs to provide a lasting set to the hair in the new curled configuration.
  • the hair need not be so completely dried out in order tomake a substantially longer-lasting curl.
  • a hair moisturizer and dryer of the hinged Z hard hat type with which the usercan employ ordinary tap water, be it hard water or saltladen soft water for long useful life with minimal accumulation of salt, scale or-sludge in the boiler and reservoir. It would be highly desirable to provide a hair moisturizer and dryer of the hinged Z hard hat type which utilizes a water reservoir which is immediately accessable, and, in fact, removable from the hair moisturizer and dryer unit for safe rinsing, cleaning, light servicing orthe like.
  • a hair moisturizer and dryer having a configuration in which a head assembly thereof will occupy the necessary but minimal volume when the hair moisturizer and dryer is in a stored configuration, and yet in which the head'assemblycan be expanded automatically to provide adequate volume for use by a person having a'plurality of relatively large curlers, for example, which combination moisturizer and dryer also provides means for uniformly imparting stress-relieving moisture to the hair.
  • FIGQI is a perspective front view of a hair moisturizside view of the drawer-related elementsshown in FIG.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 3, except that, in FIG. 4, the drawer is showninserted and seated in operating position.

  • ahead assembly which includes a movably mounted cover surrounding a generally annular plenum'and an air flow control system is mounted for pivotal movement about a portion of a plenum disposed atop the head mounting unit, the lower portion of which also includes an impeller and a motor housing and which is pivotally attached to a base unit.
  • air is taken in through openings in the base, and is directed bythe impeller upwardly through the head support element past a heater in the head mounting unit for distributing about the periphery of the head within the annular plenum and vents outwardly from the interior of the head I under the control of the adjustable cover vents.
  • the head support element is longitudinally divided by a separating wall into a channelthrough which the impeller-moved air flows, and into a second compartment in which a steam generating element'is housed.
  • the steam-generating element is located in a drawer which can be removed from its housing located in thehead support element by the user forrefilling, or for rinsing.
