Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a hair dryer that can be folded into a compact size.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, in the case of a device in which the handle 2' and the dryer body 1' are click-locked when opened for use, the upper end of the hard handle 2' and the hard dryer main body 1 are connected in the open and click-locked state. ′ were designed to come into direct contact with each other, but due to scratches on either side or molding errors, the dryer body 1′ and handle portion 2′ may not be able to connect even if they are click-locked with the click-locking means 3′. A gap may remain between them, causing wobbling, or
There is a drawback that the click locking means 3' may stop before the click locking occurs when the dryer main body 1' and the handle portion 2' are in contact with each other.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent damage to either the dryer body or the handle, and to prevent the locking by the click locking means and the contact between the dryer body and the handle due to molding errors, etc. We want to provide you with a hair dryer that won't fall off.

[Disclosure of invention]

Structure of the invention The present invention is a hair dryer equipped with a click locking means 3 that clicks into the dryer body 1 and the handle 2 when the hair dryer body 1 and the handle 2 are opened for use. A rubber-like shock absorber 5 is attached to the contact point, and when the handle part 2 and the dryer main body 1 are opened, they do not come into direct contact with each other and neither is damaged. is sandwiched between the handle part 2 and the dryer main body 1 and compressed elastically, so that the click locking means 3 can be securely locked, and no rattling occurs when click-locked. Since the buffer 5 protrudes from the back of the handle 2, when the dryer body 1 is placed with the back of the handle 2 facing down, the buffer 5 contacts the surface on which the motor etc. The hair dryer will not move due to vibration.

Example 1 is a pair of half-split dryer bodies that have an air suction port 6 at the rear end, a nozzle 7 attached to the tip, and a built-in motor 8 and fan 9 for blowing air, and a heater 10 for generating hot air. It is. Further, a connecting portion 11 is projected from the lower surface of the rear end of the dryer body 1, and the connecting portion 11 is provided with a changeover switch 12 for changing the wattage of the heater 10 and its operation plate 13.

Reference numeral 2 designates a pair of half-split handle portions which are equipped with a switch 14 and its operation button 15 for turning the motor 8 on and off and the heater 10 on and off, and a cord bushing 16 is attached to the lower end.

Connection part 11 between the upper end of the handle part 2 and the dryer main body 1
The dryer main body 1 is pivotably mounted and connected to the main body 1 at a position slightly toward the front so as to be rotatable about the shaft-shaped boss 17.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a click locking means provided near the shaft-shaped boss 17, in which a coil spring 19 and a steel ball 20 are delivered into the spring holding hole 18 of the handle portion 2 to urge the steel ball 20 to protrude. On the other hand, in correspondence with the steel balls 20, a rotary plate 22 is fixedly installed on the dryer main body 1, in which a plurality of locking holes 21 into which the steel balls 20 can be fitted are bored at regular angles. When the dryer main body 1 and the steel ball 20 are rotated, the steel ball 20 and the handle part 2 are rotated.
The rotary plate 22 rotates together with the dryer main body 1, and the steel balls 20 are click-locked into any of the locking holes 21, so that the handle 2 and the dryer main body 1 can be used not only when they are opened for use but also when Even in the intermediate stage, the lock is clicked at every predetermined angle.

What is shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b is a rubber-like buffer 5, which includes an elastic contact portion 23, a fitting portion 24, and an intermediate neck portion 25.
It consists of On the other hand, the abutment part 4 at the upper end of the handle part 2 near the back side is provided with a neck groove 26 and a fitting groove 27 below the neck groove 26, as shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b.
At the same time, the fitting part 24 of the buffer body 5 is fitted into the neck part 2.
5 is inserted into the neck groove 26, and an elastic contact part 23 is provided on the contact part 4 as shown in FIG.
The rear end is made to protrude backward from the back surface of the handle part 2.

However, when it is opened to the state in which it is used while being held in the hand as shown in Figure 2 (opening angle of approximately 90°)
In this case, the buffer body 5 is connected to the connection part 11 of the dryer main body 1.
The handle part 2 and the dryer main body 1 will not be damaged by contact with the handle part 2 and the dryer main body 1, and even when the fan 9 is turned on and the switch is turned on, the vibration will cause vibration noise between the handle part 2 and the dryer main body 1. does not occur, and the buffer 5
By being compressed, the click locking means 3 can be reliably click-locked without rattling.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which it is used while being placed, and in this case, the click locking means 3 is locked in an intermediate state, and the handle part 2 is placed on a desk 28 with the back side facing down. Although it is used without being placed on the desk 28, the upper end of the handle 2 is not directly in contact with the desk 28, but is placed through the cushioning body 5, so its cushioning properties and frictional force cause the vibration of the motor 8 to generate vibration noise. It does not occur or gradually move and spread.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, in short, when the handle and the dryer body are opened, there is no damage to either of them, and the cushioning material is compressed to prevent the handle and the dryer body from being damaged. This has the effect that the click locking means for locking the device at a predetermined position can be locked securely and without rattling. Furthermore, if the handle part is placed on a desk or the like as a stand for the dryer main body, there is an advantage that even if the shock absorber functions as a rubber foot, it will not move due to vibrations of the motor or the like. Furthermore, less vibration noise is generated.
