Description
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a tool for hairstyles design, and more particularly to a nozzle unit for a hair dryer.

2. Description of Related Arts

In the present days, people usually use towel to dry wet hair after washing their hair and then leave their hair to dry naturally in the air. Some people may speed up the drying process of their wet hair through the use of hair dryer to blow-dry their wet or damp hair. Accordingly, hair dryer has been developed as a very important tool for hairstyles design in our daily lives. Because a temperature of blowing air from the hair dryer is adjustable, the use of hair dryer can be broadened to meet different needs. However, a conventional hair dryer usually includes a hair dryer body and a nozzle connected to the hair dryer body. The nozzle usually has a flattened and elongated opening or a circular opening serving as the air outlet for the hair dryer, which is not only unsatisfactory in providing a speedy blow-drying process but also inconvenience for use. In addition, this kind of nozzle can only provide one single function.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The invention is advantageous in that it provides a nozzle for hair dryer which is adapted for use with a hair dryer so as to provide quick drying and curl hair style result at the same time.

Additional advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, and may be realized by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particular point out in the appended claims.

According to the present invention, the foregoing and other objects and advantages are attained by a nozzle for hair dryer adapted for connecting to a hair dryer, comprising a nozzle body having a first end portion and an engagement structure provided on the first end portion which is arranged for connecting to an air outlet of the hair dryer, which is characterized in that: the nozzle body has a second end portion, the nozzle for hair dryer comprises a rotational body provided on the second end portion, wherein the rotational body has an air-flowing channel longitudinally extended along an axis of the rotational body; and a rotational surface having a plurality of air outlets provided thereon which are penetrating through-hole on the rotational surface communicating to the air-flowing channel.

Wherein the rotational body is a truncated cone-shaped structure; the plurality of air outlets on the rotational surface are evenly and spacedly provided along the axis of the rotational body, and are evenly and spacedly provided in a circumferential manner.

Wherein each of the air outlet is a circular opening; and the truncated cone-shaped structure of the rotational body has defined a second end portion at a top portion of the truncated cone-shaped structure, and has a plurality of air outlets at the second end portion which are elongated openings evenly and spacedly provided in a circumferentially manner on the rotational body.

Compared to the conventional arts, the present invention is advantageous in that:

The nozzle according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention has one end connected to the rotational body, wherein the rotational body has an air-flowing channel longitudinally extended along the axis of the rotational body, and a rotational wall defining a rotational surface having a plurality of air outlets provided on the surface which are penetrating though-hole penetrating through the wall. In particular, the rotational body is a truncated cone-shaped structure, the air outlets are evenly and spacedly provided along the axis of the rotational body, and are evenly and spacedly provided in a circumferential manner. Accordingly, people can install the nozzle of the present invention to an air outlet of a hair dryer, placing hair to the nozzle of the present invention such that drying and curling effect can be achieved in one step. The nozzle of the present invention is easy to use. The step of use includes: positioning hair onto the nozzle, and removing the nozzle and the hair dryer after drying, thereby drying and curling effect are achieved while drying without additional step.

Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and drawings.

These and other objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is an illustration of a nozzle for hair dryer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an illustration of a nozzle for hair dryer which is connected to a hair dryer according to the above preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is an illustration of a nozzle for hair dryer and a hair dryer according to the above preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The nozzle for hair dryer according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is further described in the following.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawings, a nozzle for hair dryer according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a nozzle body 1 defining two end portions, namely a first end portion and a second end portion, an engagement structure 11 provided on the first end portion of the nozzle body which is arranged for connecting to an air outlet of the hair dryer such that the nozzle body 1 is securely and fittingly connected to the hair dryer, and a rotational body 2 provided on the second end portion of the nozzle body 1 in such a manner that the rotational body 2 is securely supported through the engagement structure 11 of the nozzle body 1 and the rotational body 2 is capable of guiding and controlling an air flow from the hair dryer. The rotational body 2 has an air-flowing channel longitudinally extended along an axis of the rotational body 2 such that air which is first flowing from the air outlet of the hair dryer is guided to flow to the air-flowing channel of the rotational body 2 while the rotational body 2 is securely supported through the nozzle body 1. The rotational body 2 has a rotational surface having a plurality of air outlets 21 through which the air-flowing channel of the rotational body 2 is communicated to, thereby air flowing from the air-flowing channel of the rotational body 2 is guided to penetrate through the air outlets 21. The rotational body 2 has a truncated cone-shaped structure in which the rotational surface is provided thereon and the plurality of air outlets 21 is co-axially and evenly provided along the axis of the rotational body 2 in such a manner that the air outlets 21 are systemically and evenly aligned on the rotational surface and are circumferential provided on the rotational body 2. The air outlet 21 is a circular opening through which air from the air-flowing channel is capable of being guided to flow at a direction which is perpendicular to the circular opening of the air outlet 21. The rotational body 2 further defines an end portion having a plurality of air outlets 22 at the end portion, wherein the air outlets 22 at the end portion are elongated openings evenly and spacedly provided at the end portion and are circumferential provided along the longitudinal axis on the rotational body 2. Wherein the engagement arrangement 11 of the nozzle body 1 is a ring-shaped engaging groove in which a plurality of indented holes are defined so as to facilitate the attachment of the nozzle body 1 to the hair dryer.

One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.

It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. It embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
