  • 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.

    Abstract: A hair dryer stand for setting 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 at least one base, at least one sidewall having a top and a bottom where the bottom is attached to the base, at least one vent, and an opening wherein the opening profile is defined by the top of the sidewall and can receive the intake side of a blow-dryer that is turned on. In use, the blow-dryer is supported in the opening and suspended above the countertop. Air is allowed to flow into the intake side of the blow-dryer, over the heating coils inside blow-dryer and prevents the blow-dryer from overheating. Also, the exhaust side of the blow-dryer is directed upward, away from the countertop so the countertop or material on countertop will not burn.
