Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] This invention relates to a hair dryer.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, there are the ones shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIGS. 3a and 3b that allow the power cord to be wrapped around the main body of the dryer. In the figure, 1 is the dryer body, 2 is the handle, 3 is the intake port, 4 is the power cord, 5 is the plug, 6 is the plug blade, 7 is the cord winding lock, 8 is the cord winding groove, 9 is the plug blade This is the fitting part.

In the hair dryer shown in FIG. 1, the cord 4 is simply wound around the locking devices 7, 7, so if handled carelessly, the wound cord 4 will come undone. In addition, the cord 4 is exposed to the outside, and the locking tool 7 is unsightly, and the overall design is poor and bulky.

The hair dryer shown in FIG. 2 also has problems in that the cord 4 tends to come loose, and the plug blade 6 is deformed and damaged when the plug 5 is stepped on or collides with other objects. This problem of deformation and damage of the plug blade 6 is the first problem.
This problem also exists in the dryer shown in the figure, and in both dryers, the cord 4 tends to come loose, making it inconvenient to carry.

In the hair dryers shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the plug 5 is fixed by the plug blade fitting part 9, so there is no fear of the plug 5 being stepped on or colliding with other objects, but the fixed plug 5 is Since the cord 4 is wound around the dryer main body 1 as a stop, the length of the cord 4 must be accurately determined to a certain value.
That is, if the cord 4 is too long, the winding cord 4 will become loose, and conversely, if the cord 4 is too short, the cord 4 cannot be wound. Moreover, if the plug is hooked forcibly, excessive force will be applied to the plug 5, causing deformation and damage to the plug blade 6. Since there is no anti-slip on the upper part of the main body 1, there is a problem in that the cord 4 slips sideways and the cord 4, which has been wound at an angle, loosens and comes off in the direction of the arrow.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention to be able to store cords in a fashionable manner without being bulky and in a good posture so that they do not fall apart, which is convenient for carrying and storing, and at the same time prevents the plug blade from deforming or breaking. To provide a highly durable hair dryer that does not need to be used.

[Disclosure of the invention]

The hair dryer of the present invention has a storage section in the handle of the main body for storing the power cord in a folded position, the back and bottom of this storage section are open, and the upper and lower sides of the opposite side walls of this storage section are A pair of protrusions are provided oppositely on the inner surface of the intermediate position,
A fitting part of the plug blade of the plug at the tip of the power cord is provided on each of the pair of protrusions, and when the plug blade of the plug is fitted into the fitting part, the plug is fixed by this fitting. The plug holds the power cord and prevents the cord from accidentally slipping out of the housing.

A first implementation of this invention will be explained based on FIGS. 4 to 9. In the figure, 11 is a blower fan;
The body includes a motor and a heater, 12 is a handle, 13 is a switch, 14 is a power cord, 15 is a plug, 16 is a plug blade, and 16a is a hole for the plug blade 16. 17 is a storage part for the power cord 14;
The handle 12 has an open back and bottom. Protrusions 19, 19 approaching each other are integrally formed at the upper and lower intermediate parts of the left and right opposite side walls 18, 18 of the storage portion 17, and these protrusions 1
Fitting portions 20, 20 for the plug blades 16, 16 are formed at 9, 19. The distance between the protrusions 19, 19 is approximately equal to the diameter of the cord 14.

At the back of each fitting part 20 is a plug blade 16 as shown in FIG.
A small protrusion 21 that engages with the hole 16a is provided. The width B of the fitting part 20 is approximately the same as or smaller than the width A of the stopper blade 16, so that it is held with a large frictional force or elastic clamping force. Reference numeral 22 denotes a partition wall between the storage section 17 and the wiring section related to the switch 13.

The cord 14 in this case is a straight cord, and the cord 14 is folded many times and placed in the storage section 17.
Then, the plug blades 16, 16 of the plug 15 are fitted into the fitting portions 20, 20, and the plug 15 prevents the storage cord 14 from being pulled out, as shown in FIG.
Since the plug blades 16, 16 are installed in the plug 15 in a direction perpendicular to the cord 14, the fitting portion 2
The amount of rearward protrusion of the plug 15 is small when the plug blades 16, 16 are fitted to the plugs 0, 20. code 14
is expanded in the upper half of the storage portion 17 as shown in FIG. 9, or is prevented from being pulled out in the direction of the arrow. As described above, the cord 14 can be stored without protruding, and it is convenient because it does not take up much space when carried or stored.
Further, the plug 15 is used to prevent the cord 14 from coming loose and being pulled out, so no special parts are required, and the structure is simple and can be manufactured at low cost. When not in use, the plug 15 is not stepped on or hit against other objects, and the plug blade 16 can be protected from being deformed or damaged.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The hair dryer of the present invention has a pair of protrusions protruding from the inner surface of the opposite side wall of the storage part at an intermediate position above and below, so that the storage part is wide and the plug can be inserted between the narrow protrusions. The power cord can be easily stopped by inserting it into the fitting part. Since the storage section is designed to store the power cord in a folded position, the power cord can be stored neatly without taking up much space. Since the stored power cord spreads out within the storage section, it will not fall out downward. Furthermore, since the back and bottom of the storage section are open, it is easy to store and take out the storage section. Since the plug blade fits into the fitting portion, it has the effect of protecting the plug.
