HAIR-DRYING IMPLEMENT.

citizen of the United States, residing at Chicage, in the county of Cook and State of llli- 1101S, 'l18.V6 invented certain new, and useful Improvements in Hair-Drying Implements,

of'which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is the production of an efficient and convenient device for heating air or other fluid and for discharging the heated fluid as desired.

The embodiment herein shown is especially intended for heating compressed air, medicated vapors, and the like, and for applying the heated air or vapor to the hair and scalp for drying the same.

lnthe accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is ,a central sectional view through an implement embodying the features of my invensuitable manner.

tion. .Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the plane of dotted line 2 2 .of Fig. 1. Fig.1 3 is a detail view of the gas jetJ Thedrawings comprised this specification illustrate merely one fOl'iIl of apparatus for carrying out my invention.

The apparatus shown in said drawings comprises a tubular stem 1 upon which are rig dly mounted a handle 2 and an air heati ing chamber 3. The stem 1 is preferably 30 curved so as to dispose the air-heating chamber 3 at such an angle with the handle 2 that the air current ilowing from'said air-heating chamber may be conveniently directed against the head.

lheair-heating chamber 3 is preferably cylindrical, its rear end w all 4 having an axial opening 5 therein in which one end of the stem 1 lies, said chamber and stem being secured nit-lirelat-ion to each other by means of a sonny-thread connection or in any other The forward end of the air-heating chamber 3 is contracted to form The compressed air or other fluid to be heated is conducted to the chamber I; by means of a metal tube 7, and the fuel burned in heating the fluid is conducted to said chamber through a metal tube 8.

The tubes 7 and S are rigidly secured in the end of the stem 1 to which the air-heating chamber 3 is secured. and extend through I said stemand project from the rear or lower cndthereol'. Said projecting ends are conlltt'litl with llexible tubing 0 and 1(1, preferably by slipping said flexible tubing over the i lhe I tubing 5) and 10 is ilifilusctl in a flexible c'as- 1 in said chamber, and means for supplying proje ting ends of the tubes 7 and S.

ing 11 of fabric or other suitable material,

said casing extending to the handle 2, and the point of the juncture between said casing and said handle being covered by the ferrule 12.

A portion of the air tube 7 within the airheating chamber 3 is coiled to form a heating coil 13. roviding a large area of heating surface. ne end of said tube forms a dis charge tip 14. In the upper end of the gas tube 8 is fixed a plug 15 having a gas discharge orifice 16 extending thercthrough. A plurality of air induction 0 enings 17 is provided in the rear end wall 0 the air-heating chamber 33. Preferably two openings 18 are formed in the cylindrical wall of said chamber near the rear end thereof and somewhat below the horizontal center thereof, to provide access to the gas burner for lighting it.

In use, the tube 7 is connected with a source of compressed air and the tube 8 with a source of illuminating gas. The gas having been lighted'at the discharge orifice .16 and permitted to. burn for a time until the heating coil 13 is heated, the compressed air is turned on. The escape of the warmed compressed air from the air discharge nozzle 14 induces a draft through the

openings

17 and 18, the air thus drawn into the chamber 3 being warmed and discharged through the air outlet 6 with the compressed air. It will thus be seen that not only is the compressed air heated and employed for the purpose intended, but that air from the room also is heated and discharged .into the stream of air llowing from the compressed air supply. The implement is exceedingly compact and light and wholly devoid of mechanism or other parts liable to get out of order.

While 1 have herein described my invention as embodied in a hair-drying implement, it is obvious that said invention may be employed in various other connections which need not be here enumerated.

1 have illustrated and described my improvements in detail in the form at present preferred by me, but 1, am aware that they are capable of considerable variation in structural details without departing from my invent ion.
