Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A light weight hair dryer for use for drying long hair and having inner and outer jackets divided into longitudinal cells and provided with face engaging cushions for preventing loss of warm air while permitting the hair to freely fit within the shoulder-length hood. Flap covered slots are provided for facilitating insertion of long hair.
  • the invention relates to a hair dryer hood or cap which is light and can be freely worn on the head while it is being used and can be stored when not in use in a spacesaving manner; also, it can be put into operation with but a few manipulations.
  • the housing of a motor blower with a heating register is detachably connected with an air-tight outer jacket of an inflatable, double-walled hood or cap of flexible foil.
  • the side portions of this hood are divided into longitudinally extending chambers which end in a central distribution chamber in the apex of the hood.
  • the inside jacket of the hood has openings through which the warm air which is pressed from the blower, via the heating register into the distribution chamber, flows out under the hood.
  • the hood with the motor-blower housing is supported upon the hair, via an air cushion which forms in the distribution chamber when lZI'IC'hOOd is inflated, and via its inside jacket. Thanks to this arrangement, the hood is balanced in equilibrium while seated on the head while in use; its lower rim extends approximately to the neck line.
  • This very comfortable freely portable hair dryer hood is not suited,however, just as other rigid and semirigid hair dryers for drying shoulder-length hair; the long hair must be pinned up and since it fills out completely the interior of the hood, the hair dries slowly and irregularly.
  • the inner and outer jackets of the hood in the vicinity of the back of the head extend together beyond the neck, in downward direction, into a double-walled hose which is open at the bottom, and are interconnected at the lower rim of the hose, while the area of the hood which is situated-above the neck is sealed-off softly in the vicinity of the facial line, by means of the hood rim which extends below the neck-line from the neck to the forehead.
  • the shoulder-length hair after having been brushed back toward the back of the head is then pushed across the rim of the hood which ends in the neck, and into the hose which is formed by the inner andouter jackets and where the hair hangs down in wisps.
  • the warm air pressed in by the blower between the outer and inner jackets emerges from the openings of the inner jacket below the hood and into the hose, whose bottom is open.
  • a further feature of the invention provides that a slot or aperture be worked into the hood in the vicinity of the neck, along at least one seam, respectively, which proceeds to the side of the head and the neck.
  • These lateral slots provide the wearer of the dryer with free access to the interior of the hood and she can thus push the tail of hair easier into the hose or/and arrange the hair strands situated therein. No loss of drying air occurs thereby since the chambers inflated'by pressure filling, on both sides of a slot, keep this slot closed.
  • flaps can be provided in addition, on the hood jacket, in the area of the slots, which flaps cover these slots.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of dryer hoodfor long hair the hose thereof being partly shown in section;
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the dryer hood
  • FIG. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken along the line IIIIII of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 attached to a housing 1, is
  • hood-2 an inflatable, double-walled hood-2.
  • the hood consists on whose shaft is seated the fanwheel blower 21.
  • fanwheel blower 21 rotates in the space between the annular disc 19 and the housing bottom 18, which together form the air exhaust opening defined as a cylindrical annular slot.
  • the annular slot 19 and the cap 17 are also arranged spaced from one another so as to fomi a ring-shaped air inlet opening.
  • the air circulation is indicated by arrows, in FIG. 2.
  • a heating coil 23 is disposed concentric to the fanwheel blower 21.
  • This provides a rotation-symmetrical embodiment for the entire housing and all features taken together provide a symmetrical and flat arrangement of motor 20, blower 21 and housing 1 relative to and above the hood apex 26;
  • the flat arrangement produces a deepseated point of gravity which prevents a tilting of the motonblower housing 1.
  • the air escape opening defined as an annular gap allows the warm air which is circulated between the outer and inner jacket of the hood 2, to flow out uniformly to all sides, whereby the housing bottom 18 prevents a direct flow against the hair in the apex.
  • the outer jacket 3 of the hood 2 has in the region of the hood apex 26 an inlet whose pliable rim 5 engages in air-tight relation an annular groove 6 on the annular disc 19 of the housing 1.
  • the inner jacket 4 is fastened in the hood apex 26 to the bottom area 18 of the housing 1, by means of a push button connection 7, and has openings 8 over its entire length.
  • the inner jacket 4 carries on its lower side a spacer in the form of a coil 9 bent into a ring, which coil is buttoned by push buttons.
  • the coil 9 is seated on the hair and is flexible and pliable, so that the hood weight distributed over a great plurality of windings is carried by the hair while warm air can freely penetrate between the individual .windings, due to the fact that the inner jacket 4 of the hood does not rest on the hair.
  • Both hood jackets 3, 4 are welded in the vicinity of the hood rims 27 and 15 and at the lateral portions of the hood, in intervals along seams 29, which results in longitudinally extending chambers that open into the central distribution chamber 11, below the hood apex 26 and, during pressure filling, are blown up to form a bulge by the squeezed-in air as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the inner and outer jackets define in the vicinity of the neck up to the shoulder portion, a hose 16 which is open at the bottom and which is adjacent to the hood portion that covers the head whereby the chambers 10 in the hose 16 continue up to the blower rim of the hose.
  • the hood rim 27 which proceeds around the facial lineto the neck, forms chambers which communicate with the distribution chamber 11, namely; one forehead cushion 12, two cheek cushions l3 and one neck cushion 14 which lie in sealing relation against the head.
  • the inner jacket 4 has no openings in these regions. This feature eliminates the necessity of embedding elastic tapes or the like in the hood rim, which, on one hand as for example in bathing caps produce an uncomfortable pressure and, secondly, leave a visible and therefore annoying redness of the skin, at the points of pressure.
  • the forehead and cheek cushions also function for stabilizing the seating of the hood upon the head.
  • the cushions l2, l3, 14 can also be filled with foam.
  • the openings 8 of the inner jacket are more densely distributed where the hair is very moist. This is primarily in the vicinity of the hood portion about the neck. Through an appropriate distribution of the openings whose diameter can be of various different dimensions, a uniform drying of the hair can be attained in all places.
  • the air performs a circulating movement in the interior of the hood so that the air brushes against the hair for a prolonged duration until it escapes at the bottom rim of the hose.
  • each side of the hood is provided with a seam 29a, in the vicinity of the neck line which is a double seam or has a double width and is divided longitudinally to form a slot 28.
  • the walls of the chambers 10 adjacent to these slots 28 are not damaged thereby. Through these slots 28, it is now possible to put the entire hand from the outside into the cavity of the hose 16, as well as from the lower rim 15.
  • strips or flaps 30 can also be welded on the inner jacket 4, along a rim of a slot 28, as shown on the bottom of FIG. 3. These flaps 30 may be made of the same plastic material as the hood 2 but be painted a different color so that the slots 28 can be easily recognized in the mirror.
  • the slots 28 may be longer than those illustrated in FIG. 1 and two or more slots can be provided on each side, depending on the number of chambers 10 in the hose 16.
  • the slots may be advantageous to provide pushbuttons for fastening the strips 30 at the opposite-lying slot edge, or to provide a zipper.
  • the motor 20 is a DC low voltage motor with permanent magnet which, via a rectifier (not shown) and the heating coil 23, is connected as a series resistance with the terminal lead 24, to the power supply net and is so rated that the blower achieves a weight rate of flow of at least 30 m per hour.
  • a motor creates a very low weight for the hair dryer hood which is approximately 400 g. It was surprisingly found that the drying period has been reduced to 25 to 40 minutes.
  • a portable hair dryer comprising a housing, a motor blower located within said housing, a heating coil located within said housing, an inflatable double walled hood of flexible foil, said hood including an airtight outer jacket and a perforate inner jacket, said housing being detachably connected to said outer jacket, said hood being subdivided into longitudinal cells, a central distribution chamber located in the apex of said hood, said longitudinal cells opening into said central distribution chamber, said inner jacket having a plurality of openings whereby heated air passes therethrough, said hood including at its lower end a hose portion, said hose having an opening at the lower end thereof, said outer jacket and said inner jacket terminating together and being interconnected at the lower edges thereof to define said opening in said hose, and a hood rim located in said hood positioned above and forwardly of said hose, said hood rim being defined by the interconnected of said inner jacket and said outer jacket.
  • a hair dryer according to claim 1 wherein arranged at the bottom side of apex of said inner jacket is an air-permeable, ring-shaped elastic spacer coil in the form of a helix or coil bent to form a ring which is adapted to engage the head.
  • a hair dryer according to claim 8 wherein at least one flap is provided adjacent to said slot and adapted to cover said slot.
