Embodiment Construction

[0017]Certain terminology is used in the following description for convenience only and is not limiting. The words “right,”“left,”“lower,”“upper,”“front” and “rear” designate directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The words “inwardly” and “outwardly” refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the drying apparatus and designated parts thereof. The terminology includes the above-listed words, derivatives thereof and words of similar import.

[0018]Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like elements indicate like elements throughout, this is shown FIGS. 1-4A and 5A a first presently preferred embodiment of a hair drying apparatus, generally designated 10, configured to operate relatively quietly and emit relatively low levels of sound and / or noise as compared to conventional hair dryers. The hair drying apparatus 10 is preferably in a form of a portable hand-held electric hair dryer. However, it is understood by those skille...

Abstract

A hair drying apparatus includes a body defining an air inlet, an air outlet and an air flow path therethrough. An impeller generates a flow of air from the air inlet, through the air flow path and to the air outlet. A motor drives the impeller and a heating element heats air flowing through the air flow path. The heating element, motor and impeller are supported within the body. A handle is mounted to the body and a housing is at least partially surrounded by the body and at least partially surrounds the air flow path. The motor is supported within the housing. At least one vibration isolation member is located between an inner surface of the body and an outer surface of the housing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates broadly to a hair drying apparatus and, more particularly, to a portable hand-held hair drying apparatus that is configured to emit relatively low levels of sound and / or noise as compared to conventional hair dryers.[0002]Hand-held hair dryers are generally well known in the prior art. A typical portable electric hair dryer includes an elongated body that encloses a motor and a fan. In general, the motor of the hair dryer is supported by the body so that the motor vibrations are directly transferred from the motor to the body. Such vibrations generate generally useless and unwanted sound and / or noise In addition, the orientation and / or configuration of the air flow path through the body generally creates a relatively high level of noise that is unpleasant to a user.[0003]Therefore, it would be desirable to create a drying apparatus that overcomes the above-described drawbacks of conventional hair dryers. Specifically, it...
