  • Patent number: 11622611
    Abstract: A hair dryer apparatus includes a housing with a surrounding sidewall having an inner surface defining an interior and an opposing outer surface, further the sidewall having an inlet and an opposing outlet. In addition, the hair dryer apparatus includes a motor driven blower disposed within the interior, the blower drives airflow from the inlet to the outlet. Additionally, the hair dryer apparatus includes a handle extending from the sidewall and a suction shroud that includes a solid base with an outer surrounding sidewall extending from the base, wherein the outer surrounding sidewall has an outer termination portion that is scarfed such that the outer termination portion extends from the base to offset lengths toward the sidewall outlet thus ultimately the blower suction being adjacent to the sidewall outlet for noise attenuation and reducing user hair entanglement in the blower suction.

  • Patent number: 10143284
    Abstract: A hair dryer apparatus includes a housing with a surrounding sidewall having an inner surface defining an interior and an opposing outer surface, further the sidewall having an inlet and an opposing outlet. In addition, the hair dryer apparatus includes a motor driven blower disposed within the interior, the blower drives airflow from the inlet to the outlet. Additionally, the hair dryer apparatus includes a handle in the form of a clevis shape with the clevis shape having a pair of symmetrically opposed arcuate extensions that have a common origination from a handle stem extension portion that has an opposing free end portion, each arcuate extension terminates in a pivotal connection to the inlet outer surface, the pivotal connections are about a pivotal axis. Operationally, the handle stem extension in a longwise manner has a pivotal movement range from being co-axial to the airflow to being perpendicular to the airflow.

  • Patent number: 6067724
    Abstract: A hair drying assembly has a hair dryer that is particularly suited for using one of a plurality of interchangeable brush heads. The hair dryer has an ellipsoid shaped housing with a cylindrical outlet section at one end and a pivotal grip section at the other end. The handle is pivotally and removably attached to the housing. In one embodiment the handle is attached with air inlet passages formed by legs connecting to the housing and additional slots at the inlet end of the housing. Control buttons for regulating the motor are on the pivotal handle grip section. Outlet passages are provided in the outlet section. One form of brush head is hollow with peripheral openings and bristles extending therethrough and another brush head is solid with the bristles fixedly attached. In another embodiment there is a bifurcated handle with spaced arms that pivotally connect to the housing inwardly of the air inlet end.
