  • Patent number: 8517318
    Abstract: A hair dryer stand useful for storing a blow dryer when not in use and especially for holding an operating blow-dryer on a countertop without burning the countertop or material on the countertop. The hair dryer stand is attractive and improves safety. The stand comprises a continuous substrate defining in sequence a top ledge, a nozzle support curve, an exhaust resting area, a handle support curve, a device support curve and a bottom ledge, wherein the substrate further defines a channel extending from a first apex adjacent the exhaust resting area to a second apex; said channel having a narrower width area adjacent said first apex and a wider width area adjacent the second apex. The channel is positioned to allow air to flow into the intake side of the blow-dryer, over the heating coils inside blow-dryer and thus to prevent the blow-dryer from overheating.
