AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The holes in the vent tube allow air to exit the attachment during blower operation, this prevents the blower from overheating, but when the attachment is used with a professional type blower, the radial airflow distributed through the holes is too powerful even for drying hair
While the construction provides airflow along the length of the attachment, the large amount of air blowing through the hole seriously messes up the hairstyle

Abstract

A hair dryer attachment (30) is provided for use with a hand held hair dryer (10) having a barrel (20) with an outlet (22). The attachment has a substantially tubular body (50) with a perforated sidewall (52) having a generally uniform diameter. A first end of the attachment is configured for receiving the barrel (40), and a second end having an outlet (58) is configured for dispensing air flow from the dryer. There are a plurality of openings (54) along the length of said sidewall which are configured for permitting the radial ingress and egress of air flow to and from the attachment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hair styling appliance and more particularly to a hand-held hair dryer of the type designed for use with an accessory for varying the air flow from the hand-held hair dryer tube. Background technique [0002] Hand blow dryers are well known for styling hair and are used by both personal and professional hair stylists. Such hair dryers are often provided with styling accessories such as but not limited to a comb for detangling the hair while drying, for diffusing or dissipating the airflow from the hair dryer tube to reduce the velocity of the air at the hair dryer outlet and to spread the air over a larger surface area Diffusers, and concentrators for concentrating and / or increasing the velocity of the air dispersed from the blower tube outlet. [0003] When the user or stylist needs to use the attachment, the attachment is usually pressed onto the end of the hair dryer tube and held there temporarily by a friction f...
