Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a hair dryer that can be used without being held in a user's hand. It can be secured to a predetermined portion of a vanity, bathroom cabinet, shelf, drawer, or combination thereof, allowing the user to position the hair dryer to blow heated air on their hair while still using their hands for other tasks. The battery powered hair dryer is releasably securable to a predetermined structure and can be used with both hands for other hair-related tasks. The portable hands-free battery powered hair dryer includes an elongated support that is flexible and can be positioned in a predetermined direction. The rechargeable hair dryer also includes an elongated support that is flexible for positioning by the user."

Problems solved by technology

This can prove difficult since most individuals have only one dominant hand.
Furthermore, many hair dryers are heavy and cumbersome to lift and maneuver and therefore cause stress and strain on a user's hand, wrist, and arm while holding a hair dryer.
Moreover, some persons suffering from arthritis, frailty, and nerve damage in the hands, etc. are unable to use traditional hand held hair dryers.

Abstract

A portable hair drying device includes a housing. At least one first aperture is disposed at a first predetermined location in such housing for receiving a flow of air there through. At least one second aperture is disposed at a second predetermined location in such housing for exhausting air there through. An elongated support is operably connected at a first end thereof to such housing for supporting such housing. A securing mechanism is operably connected to a second end of such elongated support member for securing such device to a predetermined structure. An air communication mechanism is disposed in such housing for communicating air into such housing via such at least one first aperture and out of such housing via such at least one second aperture such that a user may use a flow of such air exiting such at least one second aperture to blow dry such user's hair.
