Hair dryer

Abstract

A hair dryer is disclosed. The hair dryer includes a main body which accommodates a fan, a motor and a heater, a handle which extends downward from the main body and is provided with a button, and a nozzle which is coupled to the main body and contains water or hair tonic. The nozzle includes a body, a receiving part, and a containing part. The containing part includes a container which contains water or hair tonic, and a cover which is made of a porous metal material and formed at the container by insert injection molding. Accordingly, when the hair dryer is used, water or hair tonic is ejected and supplied to the hair, thereby protecting the hair.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a hair dryer, and more particularly, to a hair dryer that is equipped with a container storing water or hair tonic, and is capable of ejecting the water or the hair tonic to the hair when used, to thereby protect the hair.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Generally, a hair dryer is used to dry hair after shampooing or for hairstyling.[0005]As shown in FIG. 1, a typical hair dryer includes a main body 10 and a handle 60.[0006]The main body 10 accommodates a fan 20 at an inner rear portion, a motor 30 provided in front of the fan 20 to drive the fan 20, and a heater 40 provided in front of the motor 30.[0007]The handle 60 is provided with a button 70.[0008]If the button 70 provided at the handle 60 is pushed, the heater 40 emits heat, and the fan 20 is driven to eject the hot air through openings 50 formed at the main body 10 to dry or style hair.[0009]However, when using the ha...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0020]Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair dryer that is equipped with a container storing water or hair tonic, and is capable of ejecting the water or the hair tonic to the hair when used, to thereby protect the hair.

[0024]The nozzle further includes an evaporation filter which is provided on a front surface of the cover. The evaporation filter absorbs a substance contained in the container and evaporates the substance to decrease a particle size of the substance and easily supply the substance to the hair.

Problems solved by technology

However, when using the hair dryer for a long time or long period, hair is damaged by the heat.

However, the heating type hair dryer has the problem that the main body 10 is heated by the heater 40′ and a user may get burnt.

Also, unless a fiber member provided at a contact portion between the heater and the water container gets wet, steam cannot be generated.

In other words, if the hair dryer is not used for a long period, the fiber member gets useless by being dried and carbonized.

However, the convection type hair dryer has the problem that the ejecting amount of hair tonic is too small to achieve the hair protecting effect, and it has a large-sized structure.

Also, the hair tonic with high viscosity is not ejected well.

If the diameter of the discharge part is enlarged to increase the ejecting amount of hair tonic, the hair tonic may leak outside in a non-used state and cause an electric shock when using the hair dryer.
