Benefits of technology

[0020]Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair dryer that is equipped with a container storing water or hair tonic, and is capable of ejecting the water or the hair tonic to the hair when used, to thereby protect the hair.

Problems solved by technology

However, when using the hair dryer for a long time or long period, hair is damaged by the heat.
However, the heating type hair dryer has the problem that the main body 10 is heated by the heater 40′ and a user may get burnt.
Also, unless a fiber member provided at a contact portion between the heater and the water container gets wet, steam cannot be generated.
In other words, if the hair dryer is not used for a long period, the fiber member gets useless by being dried and carbonized.
However, the convection type hair dryer has the problem that the ejecting amount of hair tonic is too small to achieve the hair protecting effect, and it has a large-sized structure.
Also, the hair tonic with high viscosity is not ejected well.
If the diameter of the discharge part is enlarged to increase the ejecting amount of hair tonic, the hair tonic may leak outside in a non-used state and cause an electric shock when using the hair dryer.

first embodiment

[0058]Hereinafter, the operation of the hair dryer according to the present invention will be described.

[0059]Referring to FIG. 6, if the button 700 provided at the handle 600 is pushed, the motor 300 is driven to rotate the fan 200 and the heater 400 emits heat.

[0060]The fan 200 rotating by the motor 300 blows the air toward the openings 500, and the air is heated by the heater 400 while passing by the heater 400.

[0061]While passing through the openings 500, the heated air heats the water or the hair tonic contained in the containing part 810 received in the receiving part 803 of the nozzle 800 which is coupled to the front end of the main body 100 where the openings 500 are formed.

[0062]The water or the hair tonic contained in the containing part 810, that is heated by the air, expands in the container 811, and is exhausted from the container 811 through the cover 813 of a porous metal material which is attached to the container 811.

[0063]The water or the hair tonic exhausted from...

second embodiment

[0064]The operation of the hair dryer according to the present invention will now be described.

[0065]Referring to FIG. 7, if the button 700 provided at the handle 600 is pushed, the motor 300 is driven to rotate the fan 200 and the heater 400 emits heat.

[0066]The fan 200 rotating by the motor 300 blows the air toward the openings 500, and the air is heated by the heater 400 while passing by the heater 400.

[0067]While passing through the openings 500, the heated air heats the water or the hair tonic contained in the containing part 810 received in the receiving part 803 of the nozzle 800, which is coupled to the front end of the main body 100 where the openings 500 are formed.

[0068]The water or the hair tonic contained in the containing part 810, that is heated by the air, expands in the container 811, and is exhausted from the container 811 through the cover 813 of a porous metal material which is attached to the container 811. The water or the hair tonic exhausted through the cover...

third embodiment

[0070]The operation of the hair dryer according to the present invention will now be described.

[0071]Referring to FIG. 8, if the button 700 provided at the handle 600 is pushed, the motor 300 is driven to rotate the fan 200 and the heater 400 emits heat.

[0072]If the air heated by the heater 400 heats the straw 1000 when discharged outside by the fan 200, the heat is transferred to the containing part 810. The substance contained in the containing part 810 expands and leaves the containing part 810, and is ejected with the air through the openings of the hair dryer to be supplied to the hair.

[0073]As apparent from the above description, the hair dryer according to the present invention is equipped with the container storing the water or the hair tonic, and is capable of ejecting the water or the hair tonic to the hair when used, thereby protecting the hair.
