Hair drying device

Abstract

A hair dryer including a blower and a dryer head having a narrow elongated nozzle shaped to generate airflow in the form of a thin blade of air. The hair dryer includes an airflow evening structure functionally coupled to the nozzle that more evenly distribute airflow of the thin blade of air. The airflow evening structure is a sleeve rotatably coupled about the nozzle and includes a plurality of diversely shaped nozzle masks disposed about the sleeve, each shaped to restrict airflow through the nozzle in varying modes.

[0001] This application is a Continuation-In-Part application of, under 35 U.S.C. §121, and claims priority to, under 35 U.S.C. §121, U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 13 / 687,989, entitled Hair Drying Device, by David M. Hadden, filed on Nov. 28, 2012. This invention claims priority, under 35 U.S.C. §120, to the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 564,241 by David M. Hadden filed on Nov. 28, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to drying devices, specifically to a hair drying device.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] A blow dryer or hair dryer is an electromechanical device designed to blow cool or hot air over wet or damp hair, in order to accelerate the evaporation of water particles and dry the hair. Blow dryers allow to better control the shape and style of hair.
