HAIR DRYER WITH A NOZZLE HAVING A SEPARATE OPERATIONAL AMBIENT AIR CONDUIT

摘要

A hair dryer having a first and second air flow conduit and wherein the first conduit contains a heating element and the second conduit has means to be isolated from air flow therethrough such that when selected air can flow either only through the conduit having a heating element or through both conduits to either provide heated air only or heated and ambient air together. Further, the second conduit is located and designed so that the ambient air can be directed at the skin of the neck and face of the user to allow hair to be dried, by air coming from the first conduit, while the user remains relatively cooler by enjoying flow of ambient air from the second conduit. The second conduit being selectively opened and closed to flow as desired.

主权项

1. A hand-held hair dryer comprising:
a handle; a fan for pushing air; a nozzle having a main conduit and a second conduit adjacent thereto, the main and second conduits being adjacent to and in air flow communication with the fan, the nozzle having a first end proximal to the handle and a second open end distal thereto; a heating element within the main conduit of the nozzle and in a generally down-wind direction from the fan; wherein when the hair dryer is operated and the heating element is engaged, the main conduit directs heated air out from the distal end of the nozzle in the direction where pointed and the second conduit can direct ambient air out of the nozzle in a flow adjacent thereto such that ambient air is directed at exposed skin while the heated air is directed at the hair.
