Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hand held hair dryers and, more particularly, to attachments for use with hand held hair dryers that direct outgoing airflow from the dryers.
  • an attachment for a hair dryer has an attachment base adapted to engage and be retained by the distal end of a nozzle of a hair dryer.
  • the base is generally round and forms a continuation of the nozzle it is attached to.
  • the distal end of the base has an exterior surface that is semi-spherical.
  • a concentrator is attached to the base.
  • the concentrator has a proximal end that is formed as a concave semi-sphere to receive the semi-spherical end of the base in a universal-joint manner for universal pivoting with respect thereto.
  • the distal end of the concentrator is a tapered nozzle end similar to a conventional concentrator in which the area of the flow path is reduced as the airflow exits the concentrator.
  • a diffuser is attached to the base.
  • the diffuser has a proximal end that is formed as a concave semi-sphere to receive the semi-spherical end of the base in a universal-joint manner for universal pivoting with respect thereto.
  • the distal end of the diffuser is an array of holes and small nozzles similar to a conventional diffuser in which the airflow path is diffused or separated before the airflow exits the diffuser.
  • Fig. 1A is a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1B is a side view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1C is an end view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2A is a perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2B is a side view of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2C is an end view of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention is directed to an attachment (1 ) for a hand held hair dryer (not shown) of a conventional type having a generally tube-shaped nozzle out of which flows heated air.
  • the attachment (1) has a base (2) comprising a ring-shaped collar (3) having an airflow path (4) therethrough.
  • the collar (3) is adapted to press-fit onto the distal end of a nozzle of a hair dryer, either internally or externally received such that the distal end of the nozzle of the hair dryer does not extend past the distal edge (5) of the collar (3) in a way that interferes with pivoting of the concentrator (6) of the attachment (1 ).
  • the base (2) further comprises a semi-sphere (7) extending distally from the collar (3).
  • the airflow path (4) extends through the semi-sphere (7) so that airflow from the hair dryer flows through the base (2) and exits its distal end.
  • the concentrator (6) has a semi- spherical concave section (8) at its proximal end in order to receive the semi- sphere (7) in a manner permitting universal joint type pivoting relative thereto.
  • a concentrator exit (9) is at the distal end of the concentrator (6) for concentrating and directing exiting airflow in a selective manner as described below.
  • the attachment (1 ) is attached to the distal end of a conventional hand held hair dryer nozzle.
  • the user can pivot the concentrator (6) relative to the base (2) using the semi-sphere joint formed by the two parts.
  • the airflow will be directed to whichever direction the user sets the concentrator exit (9) and it will be concentrated by the effect of reduction of area of flow.
  • a second embodiment of the present invention is directed to an attachment (10) for a hand held hair dryer (not shown) of a conventional type having a generally tube-shaped nozzle out of which flows heated air.
  • the attachment (10) has a base (12) comprising a ring-shaped collar (13) having an airflow path (14) therethrough.
  • the collar (13) is adapted to press-fit onto the distal end of a nozzle of a hair dryer, either internally or externally received such that the distal end of the nozzle of the hair dryer does not extend past the distal edge (15) of the collar (13) in a way that interferes with pivoting of diffuser (16) of the attachment (10).
  • the base (12) further comprises a semi-sphere (17) extending distally from the collar (13).
  • the airflow path (14) extends through the semi-sphere (17) so that airflow from the hair dryer flows through the base (12) and exits its distal end.
  • the diffuser (16) has a semi- spherical concave section (18) at its proximal end in order to receive the semi- sphere (17) in a manner permitting universal joint type pivoting relative thereto.
  • a series of diffuser exits (19) is at the distal end of the diffuser (16) for diffusing and directing exiting airflow in a selective manner as described below.
  • the attachment (10) is attached to the distal end of a conventional hand held hair dryer nozzle.
  • the user can pivot the concentrator (16) relative to the base (12) using the semi-sphere joint formed by the two parts.
  • the airflow will be directed to whichever direction the user sets the diffuser exits (19) and will be diffused by the separation of one airflow path into various exits.
  • Raised nozzles (11) may be provided to locate some of the exits (19).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un accessoire (1) pour sèche-cheveux, comprenant une base de fixation (2) destinée à entrer en prise avec l'extrémité distale d'un sèche-cheveux et à être retenue sur celle-ci. L'extrémité distale (7) de la base possède une surface extérieure qui est semi-sphérique. Dans un mode de réalisation, un concentrateur (6) est fixé à la base. Ce concentrateur possède une extrémité proximale (8) qui a une forme concave de demi-sphère, destinée à recevoir l'extrémité semi-sphérique (7) de la base comme un joint universel, afin que cette dernière puisse pivoter de manière universelle. L'extrémité distale (9) du concentrateur forme une buse évasée semblable à celle d'un concentrateur classique, dans laquelle la zone de passage de l'air est réduite au fur et à mesure que l'air avance dans le concentrateur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un diffuseur (16) est fixé à la base. Ce diffuseur possède une extrémité proximale (18) qui a une forme concave de demi-sphère, destinée à recevoir l'extrémité semi-sphérique (17) de la base comme un joint universel, afin que cette dernière puisse pivoter de manière universelle. L'extrémité distale du diffuseur comprend un réseau d'orifices (19) et de petites buses (11) semblables à ceux d'un diffuseur classique dans lequel le flux d'air est diffusé ou séparé avant qu'il ne quitte le diffuseur.
