Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair dryer for professional or home use, particularly for drying long hair.
  • Conventional hair dryers commonly termed “fon” in Italian, generally comprise a body that forms a handle and accommodates an impeller that is driven by an electric motor and generates an air flow from an inlet, formed at one end of the hair dryer body, to an outlet formed at the opposite end of the hair dryer body. Electric resistors are interposed between the impeller and the outlet and appropriately heat the air flow generated by the impeller.
  • the hair dryer body has a handle, through which the appliance is held by the user and directed towards the hair to be dried.
  • Overhead hair dryers are also known; they are generally meant for professional use, but have become widespread in a domestic context as well; they have a hood-shaped body inside which a hollow is provided for accommodating the head of the user.
  • Inside the casing of the appliance in a region separated from the hollow that receives the head of the user, there is an impeller, which is driven by an electric motor so as to generate an air flow from the outside towards the hollow.
  • electric resistors are provided for heating the air flow generated by the impeller.
  • Appliances for substantially fully professional use are also known; they are equipped with a plurality of infrared lamps arranged around a region adapted to receive the head of the user.
  • Hood-like appliances are in fact scarcely adapted for drying long hair, since the hair, in order to be placed inside the hood, would have to be gathered around the head of the user and therefore an unacceptable drying would be obtained, with creases induced along the hair.
  • infrared appliances also entails problems and drawbacks, since the infrared radiation is highly scattered to reach the large mass of the hair and is therefore scarcely effective and requires excessive drying times.
  • the wet hair of the surface layer contrasts the passage of warm air towards the underlying layers of hair, hindering their drying. To avoid excessive drying times thus required, the flow of air and its temperature are increased, with the drawback of overheating the surface layers of the hair.
  • a principal aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problems by providing a new hair dryer for professional or home use, particularly for drying long hair, which allows to dry hair while respecting its natural waviness.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a hair dryer that allows to achieve high effectiveness in drying, considerably reducing drying times while operating with temperatures that are significantly lower than those required by conventional appliances.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a hair dryer that is simple and easy to use.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a hair dryer that is structurally simple and can be manufactured at low costs.
  • a hair dryer for professional or home use, particularly for drying long hair, characterized in that it comprises a structure with at least one perforated surface for supporting and resting the hair to be dried, and means for conveying a flow of warm air through and above said perforated surface.
  • the hair dryer according to the invention comprises a structure 2 having at least one perforated surface 3 for resting and supporting the hair to be dried and means for conveying a flow of warm air through and above the perforated surface 3.
  • the structure 2 is conveniently constituted by a box-like casing composed of a lower portion 4 and of a lid 5 that form, as a whole, a drying chamber 6 that is meant to contain part of the head of the user and the hair to be dried.
  • the perforated surface 3 is arranged in a region that is spaced from the bottom of the lower portion 4, and in addition to said perforated surface 3 it is possible to provide additional perforated surfaces 7 to be arranged inside the chamber 6 in regions that are appropriately spaced vertically from one another and from the perforated surface 3 so as to allow to arrange the hair to be dried, inside the chamber 6, in superimposed and mutually spaced layers.
  • the casing constituted by the lower portion 4 and by the lid 5 has, on the front side, an opening 8 through which the head of the user is partially inserted in the chamber 6.
  • the lower portion 4 has, at the opening 8, a contoured region 9 that forms a support for the nape of the user's neck.
  • the perforated surface 3 can be simply constituted by a mesh, made of a material adapted to withstand the operating temperatures of the hair dryer, which is associated internally with the lower portion 4, at a level that is appropriately spaced from the bottom of the lower portion 4, so as to divide the chamber 6 into two parts.
  • the additional perforated surfaces 7 can also be constituted by a mesh and are preferably associated with the lower portion 4, at a level that is spaced from the perforated surface 3, in a detachable manner so that they can be removed and associated sequentially with the lower portion 4 while arranging the hair of the user inside the chamber 6, as will become apparent hereinafter.
  • the additional perforated surfaces 7 have, on their front side, a recess 10 so as to avoid hindering in any way the insertion of the head of the user inside the chamber 6.
  • the additional surfaces 7 are furthermore laterally provided with hook-shaped regions 11 that engage the lateral edges of the lower portion 4 of the casing, as shown in particular in figure 4.
  • the lid 5 is conveniently pivoted to the lower portion 4 proximate to its rear end, so that it can be easily lifted to facilitate the insertion of the head of the user in the chamber 6 and allow correct arrangement of the hair to be dried on the perforated surfaces 3 and 7.
  • the casing constituted by the lower portion 4 and by the lid 5, is appropriately mounted on a footing 12 that is provided, in a downward region, with wheels 13 so as to be easily movable according to the requirements.
  • the means for conveying the flow of warm air inside the chamber 6 comprise a blower, which is composed for example, in a per se known manner, of an electric motor 14 and of an impeller the outlet whereof is connected to a tube 15 connected to the casing constituted by the lower portion 4 and by the lid 5, preferably at its rear end.
  • a seat 16 is provided which accommodates means for heating the air flow generated by the blower.
  • Said heating means can be constituted by electric resistors 17.
  • the seat 16 is preferably separated from the chamber 6 by a wall 18, in which holes 19 are formed for the passage of the air arriving from the tube 15 into the chamber 6, with distribution of the air flow below the perforated surface 3, between the perforated surfaces 3 and 7, and above said perforated surfaces.
  • the use of the hair dryer according to the invention is as follows.
  • the user rests the nape of his or her neck on the contoured region 9 and the wet hair is spread partly on the perforated surface 3 and partly on the additional perforated surfaces 7, which are arranged in the chamber 6 in sequence, so that the mass of hair to be dried is uniformly distributed on the various perforated surfaces 3 and 7.
  • the lid 5 is lowered onto the lower portion 4 and the hair dryer is operated, supplying power to the electric motor 14 that drives the impeller and to the electric resistors 17.
  • the hair dryer according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since it allows to dry long hair in a short time, respecting the structure of the hair and its natural waviness.
  • a further advantage of the hair dryer according to the invention is that it allows the user to keep a relaxed position during drying.
  • the hair dryer according to the invention has been conceived particularly for drying long hair, it can nonetheless also be used to dry short hair.
  • the materials employed, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
