Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a hair dryer that is handheld and can be placed on a table for use.

[Conventional technology]

As a hair dryer for both this type of hand-held type and table type, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-16329, a foldable stand-combined handle is attached to the dryer body, and a pair of left and right expansions are attached to the handle. Freely store the auxiliary legs, and on the desk, open the handle that is also a stand for the dryer body from the folded state, open it slightly, and then pull out the auxiliary legs horizontally from the handle. There is one that allows the dryer body to be placed on a table in a low tilted position so that it sits on the table.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the conventional hair dryer described above, the air outlet on the front end side is stably placed on the table while lying flat on the table, but in this use, the auxiliary legs cannot be put in or taken out one by one. There is a need to bother, and not only that, but when assembling an auxiliary leg that is a separate body from the handle that also serves as a stand, the structure becomes complicated.

Therefore, the present invention, in the above-mentioned hand-held and table-top hair dryer having the folding and stand-handle, can be stably placed on the table by modifying the structure of the stand-handle itself. The purpose is to improve the handleability while simplifying the structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a foldable stand / handle 2 is pivotally attached to a rear portion of a dryer body 1 with a pivot 10 and is folded down in a substantially parallel manner to the dryer body 1. It is assumed that the hair dryer is rotatably provided around the pivot shaft 10 in a standing posture substantially orthogonal to the dryer body 1. In addition, the stand / handle 2 has an extension end 2b formed integrally therewith, and the extension end 2b is provided on the opposite side of the stand / handle 2 with the column 8 extending from the pivot 10 extending to the stand / handle 2 therebetween. The extension end 2b is formed in a ring shape so as to form an air intake space S behind the column 8.

[Action]

If you want to put it on a table and use it, place the handle 2 for stand and stand horizontally on the table to extend its end.
The dryer main body 1 is placed with a stable feeling by the function of the auxiliary stand 2b, and does not fall down even if it receives a slight vibration.

In the case of hand-held use, the stand / handle 2 is rotated from the dryer body 1 to stand up as usual, and the handle 2 is gripped below the pivot 10.

In both cases of tabletop use and handheld use, the suction port 7 can suck air through the air intake space S formed between the suction port 7 and the extension end 2b.

[Effect of device]

According to the hair dryer of the present invention, the simple operation of integrally forming the extension end portion 2b on the handle 2 which also serves as a stand allows the handle 2 to be stably placed on a table, and the dryer for both table use and handheld use. A simple operation of simply rotating the main body 1 and the handle 2 that also serves as a stand is sufficient, and the handling is simple and the usability is good.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the hair dryer according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, this hair dryer is a dryer body 1
And a foldable stand and handle 2.
The dryer body 1 includes a heater 4 inside a tubular body case 3.
And a blower device 5 composed of a fan and a motor are arranged in the front and rear to be housed, and a blowout port 6 is provided at the front end thereof and a suction port 7 is provided at the rear end thereof.

The handle 2 which is also used as a stand includes a grip main body 2a and a grip main body 2a.
It is composed of an extension end portion 2b which is integrally formed so as to extend further upward from 2a, and a pair of left and right columns 8 which are integrally projected from a middle portion between the grip main body portion 2a and the extension end portion 2b to the front. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the handle 2 is provided with right and left struts 8 on joints 9 provided on both left and right sides of the rear peripheral surface of the dryer body 1 in the front-back direction around the pivot 10. The prone posture (indicated by the chain double-dashed line line A in FIG. 2) in which the dryer main body 1 is folded in parallel with the lower part of the peripheral surface of the dryer body 1 by being pivotally pivoted.
The posture can be freely switched around the pivot shaft 10 between the posture and the posture (state shown in FIG. 1) which stands upright behind the dryer body 1.

The extended end portion 2b of the handle 2 is provided with a pivotal axis of the grip main body 2a so that the handle 2 faces the entire surface of the suction port 7 of the dryer body 1 in a standing posture in which the handle 2 is substantially orthogonal to the dryer body 1.
It is formed longer than 10 longer. In addition, even when the handle 2 is in a standing posture that is substantially orthogonal to the dryer body 1 and the extension end 2b faces the entire surface of the suction port 7 in close proximity to the drier body 1 as described above, it is easy to take air into the suction port 7. The air intake space S is formed in a ring shape extending between the extended end portion 2b and the grip main body portion 2a.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the pivot 10 is made of a tubular body, and is screwed into the inside of the joint portion 9 on the dryer body 1 side.
Shaft hole that is connected at 11, while the pivot shaft 10 is fitted in a retaining shape
A bearing boss 13 having 12 is integrally provided on the inner surface side of the support column 8 on the handle 2 side.

Further, the handle 2 is provided with a moderating means between the column 8 and the joint portion 9 so that the handle 2 can be stopped and held at an arbitrary angle position within a range of about 90 degrees with respect to the dryer body 1. As a moderation means, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a moderation projection 14 is projected from the peripheral surface of the bearing boss 13 of the handle 2, while a moderation projection is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the joint portion 9 of the dryer body 1. Moderation recesses 15 with which 14 selectively engages are provided at predetermined intervals in the inner circumferential direction.

The rear side of the grip main body 2a of the stand / handle 2 is formed flat, and the rear side of the extension end 2b is also formed flush with the rear side so that these rear sides can be placed horizontally on a table. . A power switch 16 is provided on the front side of the handle 2, and a cord 17 is led out from the lower end of the power switch 16.

Now, when using it by hand, if the handle 2 is rotated to stand up substantially orthogonal to the dryer body 1 (first
(Refer to the drawing), the grip main body 2a can be gripped and can be used. At this time, the suction port 7 of the dryer body 1 faces the extended end 2b of the handle 2, but since the air intake space S is formed in the extended end 2b, there is no hindrance to the suction of air.

Further, when using the tabletop, when the back side of the handle 2 is placed on the tabletop T as shown in FIG. 2, the dryer main body 1 is stably placed by the stand function of the grip main body 2a and the extension end 2b. Become.
