  • Patent number: 5832624
    Abstract: A device for providing elevated and universally adjustable support of a hair dryer, the hair dryer having a body with a handle portion and a heated air discharge portion. A receptacle member is provided for gripping the hair dryer by its handle portion and is positioned in the elevated and overhead fashion by an elongated support which is either supported by a floor base or is attached to a vertically extending wall. The receptacle member includes a plurality of curvilinear gripping portions which each define gripping surfaces for biasingly engaging the handle portion of the hair dryer. In one embodiment, a plurality of uniquely configured gripping portions extend from a base of the receptacle member and the hair dryer handle biasingly engages between a selected pair of the gripping portions. In a further preferred embodiment, the gripping portions are substantially circular shaped and extend in opposing fashion from a central portion to form a generally "S" shaped configuration in cross section.
