  • Publication number: 20100269849
    Abstract: A hair care device comprises a housing, an ion generator, and a voltage applying means. The housing is formed with an outlet port. The ion generator is disposed within the housing. The ion generator is configured to produce the electrically charged particles when the electrically power is supplied to the ion generator, thereby discharging the electrically charged particles to an outside of the housing through the outlet port. The voltage applying means is provided with a contact electrode. The contact electrode comes into contact with a user, whereby the voltage applying means is configured to applyg a predetermined voltage to the user. The voltage applying means is a member which is separate from the housing, and which is spaced from the housing.

  • Patent number: 6725562
    Abstract: The hair dryer includes a housing body that includes an air intake opening and an air outlet opening. The air outlet opening includes a non-ionized air outlet opening and an ionized air outlet opening. A fan is disposed within the housing body for introducing air into the housing body through the air intake opening and directing the air to the air outlet opening. An ionized air passage mechanism is formed within the housing body and is connected to the ionized air outlet opening. An air ionizing device is disposed within the ionized air passage mechanism for generating ionized air. Under this configuration, ionized air generated by the air ionizing device is discharged from the ionized air outlet opening and non-ionized air is discharged through the non-ionized air outlet opening such that both ionized air and non-ionized air are blown together from the air outlet openings of the hairdryer against hair.
