The +Z direction corresponds to the upward direction in the vertical direction, and the -Z direction corresponds to the downward direction in the vertical direction.

[0013] The helmet stand 2 is configured to support a helmet (not shown). A vent 20 is formed in the helmet stand 2. The dryer main body 3 incorporates a blower 30. The helmet stand 2 is configured to be detachable from the dryer main body 3. Note that FIG. 1 shows the state when the helmet dryer 1 is in use (in other words, the state where the helmet stand 2 is assembled to the dryer main body 3), and FIG. 2 shows the state when the helmet dryer 1 is not in use (in other words, the state where the helmet stand 2 is removed from the dryer main body 3).

[0014] <Helmet stand> FIG. 4 is a top view of the helmet stand 2 according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is a side view (front view) as viewed in the direction of arrow V in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a bottom view as viewed in the direction of arrow VI in FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a side view (outer side view in the Y direction) as viewed in the direction of arrow VII in FIG. 5. Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7 together, the helmet stand 2 includes a helmet support portion 21 and a downward protruding portion 22.

[0015] [[ID=​​​​​​​The central part of the stand-side upper surface 21a has a shape that bulges upward when viewed from the side. The central part of the stand-side upper surface 21a in the Y direction has a shape that bulges upward when viewed from the X direction (front view in Figure 5). Specifically, when viewed from the X direction (front view in Figure 5), the stand-side upper surface 21a has a planar shape in the Y direction central part that follows the XY plane, and the outer part of the stand-side upper surface 21a in the Y direction is formed in a shape that slopes outward in the Y direction and toward the -Z direction (a so-called flattened dome shape).

[0018] The central part of the stand-side upper surface 21a in the X direction has a shape that bulges upward when viewed from the Y direction (as seen in the Y-direction outer side view in Figure 7). Specifically, when viewed from the Y direction (as seen in the outer side view in Figure 7), the central part of the stand-side upper surface 21a in the X direction has a planar shape that follows the XY plane, and the outer part of the stand-side upper surface 21a in the X direction is formed in a shape that slopes outward in the X direction and toward the -Z direction (a so-called flattened dome shape).

[0019] The ventilation opening 20 is formed in the center of the upper surface 21a on the stand side. The ventilation opening 20 leads to the internal space 21s of the helmet support part 21. When viewed from above, the ventilation opening 20 is formed in the shape of an elongated hole that is long in the Y direction. When viewed from above, the center of the upper surface 21a on the stand side is formed in the shape of a hexagon that is long in the Y direction. When viewed from above, one ventilation opening 20 is formed in the center of the upper surface 21a on the stand side (center in both the X and Y directions). Note that the manner in which the ventilation opening 20 is formed (shape, location, number, etc.) is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0020] The central part of the upper surface 21a on the stand side is formed to a size that fits within the inner space of, for example, the helmet to be supported (not shown). With the central part of the upper surface 21a on the stand side fitting within the inner space of the helmet, the helmet may be supported by a portion of the outer part of the upper surface 21a on the stand side contacting the bottom surface of the helmet.

[0021] The outer portion of the upper surface 21a on the stand side may be provided with a plurality of ribs 25. The plurality of ribs 25 have the function of supporting, for example, the helmet (not shown) to be supported in a fixed position. At least some of the plurality of ribs 25 may be provided so as to be able to contact, for example, the lower part of the helmet.

[0022] In the example shown in Figure 4, the outer portion of the stand-side upper surface 21a in the Y direction is provided with multiple ribs 25 that are long in the X direction when viewed from above. A total of six ribs 25 are provided: three on the -Y direction outer portion of the stand-side upper surface 21a and three on the +Y direction outer portion of the stand-side upper surface 21a. Note that the arrangement of the ribs 25 is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0023] The stand-side lower surface 21b has a planar shape that follows the XY plane when viewed from the side. The outer parts of the stand-side lower surface 21b are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the ventilation opening 20 when viewed from the side. The outer parts of the stand-side lower surface 21b in the Y direction are spaced apart from each other in the Y direction so as to sandwich the ventilation opening 20 when viewed from the X direction (front view in Figure 5).

[0024] The downward projection 22 protrudes downward from the lower surface 21b on the stand side. The downward projection 22 is configured to be detachable from the dryer body 3. The downward projection 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape that extends downward from the lower surface 21b on the stand side. The internal space 22s of the downward projection 22 is connected to the ventilation opening 20 via the internal space 21s of the helmet support part 21. When viewed from below, the internal space 22s of the downward projection 22 is formed in the shape of an elongated hole that is long in the Y direction.

[0025] A pair of downward projections 22 are provided on the outer side of the stand-side lower surface 21b. The pair of downward projections 22 have the same projection length (length extending downward from the stand-side lower surface 21b). When viewed from the X direction (front view in Figure 5), the pair of downward projections 22 are provided spaced apart in the Y direction from each other, straddling the space below the ventilation opening 20 (in other words, the space directly below the center of the stand-side lower surface 21b in the Y direction).

[0026] The pair of downward protrusions 22 are located in the center of the stand-side lower surface 21b in the X direction when viewed from the Y direction (as seen in the Y-direction outer side view in Figure 7). The pair of downward protrusions 22 overlap each other when viewed from the Y direction (as seen in the Y-direction outer side view in Figure 7). Note that the configuration of the downward protrusions 22 (shape, installation location, number, etc.) is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0027] <Hair dryer body> Figure 8 is a top view of the dryer body 3 according to the embodiment. Figure 9 is a side view (front view) taken along arrow IX in Figure 8. Figure 10 is a side view (rear view) taken along arrow X in Figure 8. Figure 11 is a side view (outer side view in the Y direction) taken along arrow XI in Figure 9. Referring to Figures 8 to 11, the dryer body 3 comprises a base portion 31 and an upward projection portion 32.

[0028] The base portion 31 is formed in a box shape. When the dryer body 3 is installed on a predetermined mounting surface (e.g., the floor), the base portion 31 is formed in a box shape that follows the XY plane. When viewed from the Z direction, the base portion 31 is formed in a shape that is elongated in the Y direction.

[0029] Specifically, the base portion 31, when viewed from the Z direction (as shown in the top view in Figure 8), is curved outward in the Y direction, and its width in the Y direction gradually narrows as it moves from the outer end in the Y direction toward the -X direction. Note that the shape of the base portion 31 is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0030] The base portion 31 has a base-side upper surface 31a that faces the stand-side lower surface 21b. The central part of the base-side upper surface 31a has an operating section 35 that can be operated by the user. The operating section 35 is located at the center of the base-side upper surface 31a in the Y direction and at the outer end side in the +X direction when viewed from above.

[0031] The upper surface 31a of the base includes an inclined surface 31c that gradually slopes downward from the center of the base portion 31 in the depth direction toward the front. The operating section 35 is provided on the inclined surface 31c of the upper surface 31a of the base.

[0032] The control unit 35 is equipped with multiple buttons. The multiple buttons are arranged in a line along the Y direction when viewed from above. In the example shown in Figure 8, five buttons are arranged in a line along the Y direction.

[0033] The multiple buttons include, for example, a power button (for switching the power on and off), an output adjustment button (for adjusting the strength of the airflow), a heating mode switching button (for switching between heating drying and cooling drying), and a timer button (for setting the drying time to a predetermined time). However, the configuration of the operating unit 35 is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0034] The upper surface 31a of the base side has a display unit 36 ​​that displays a predetermined information in response to the operation of the operation unit 35. The display unit 36 ​​is located in the center of the upper surface 31a of the base side in the Y direction and on the outer side in the +X direction (outer than the center in the X direction and on the -X direction side of the operation unit 35) when viewed from above.

[0035] The display unit 36 ​​displays, for example, the power on / off status, the fan strength, the heating mode, the timer, etc. The configuration of the display unit 36 ​​is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0036] When the helmet dryer 1 is in use (in other words, when the lower protrusion 22 of the helmet stand 2 is assembled to the upper protrusion 32 of the dryer body 3), the operating unit 35 and the display unit 36 ​​are exposed to the outside. In other words, when the helmet dryer 1 is in use, a space is formed between the lower surface 21b of the stand and the upper surface 31a of the base, from which the user can operate the operating unit 35 and view the display unit 36.

[0037] The outer portions of the upper base surface 31a are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the operating section 35 when viewed from the side. The outer portions of the upper base surface 31a in the Y direction are spaced apart from each other in the Y direction so as to sandwich the operating section 35 when viewed from the +X direction (front view in Figure 9).

[0038] The upper projection 32 protrudes upward from the upper surface 31a of the base. The upper projection 32 is configured to be detachably attached to the lower projection 22. The upper projection 32 is formed in a cylindrical shape that extends upward from the upper surface 31a of the base. The internal space 32s of the upper projection 32 is connected to the internal space 31s of the base 31.

[0039] When the helmet dryer 1 is in use, the internal space 32s of the upper projection 32 is connected to the vent 20 via the internal space 22s of the lower projection 22 and the internal space 21s of the helmet support 21. The internal space 32s of the upper projection 32 is formed in the shape of an elongated slit in the Y direction when viewed from above. A grid-like grill 37 is provided inside the upper projection 32 when viewed from above.

[0040] A pair of upward projections 32 are provided on the outer side of the base-side upper surface 31a. The pair of upward projections 32 have the same projection length (length extending upward from the base-side upper surface 31a). When viewed from the +X direction (front view in Figure 9), the pair of upward projections 32 are spaced apart in the Y direction from each other, sandwiching the operating section 35 (in other words, the inclined surface 31c in the Y-direction center of the base-side upper surface 31a).

[0041] The pair of upward projections 32 are provided on the upper surface 31a of the base side, in the X-direction center (specifically, a portion closer to the +X direction than the X-direction center) when viewed from the Y direction (as seen in the Y-direction outer side view in Figure 11). The pair of upward projections 32 overlap each other when viewed from the Y direction (as seen in the outer side view in Figure 11). Note that the configuration of the upward projections 32 (shape, installation location, number, etc.) is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0042] The upper projection 32 has a through hole 32h that opens in the Z direction, allowing the lower end of the lower projection 22 to be inserted through it. For example, the lower end of the lower projection 22 may be inserted (e.g., fitted) into the through hole 32h from above, thereby connecting the lower end of the lower projection 22 to the upper projection 32. This allows the lower projection 22 of the helmet stand 2 to be assembled to the upper projection 32 of the dryer body 3.

[0043] Alternatively, the lower end of the lower protrusion 22 may be pulled upward from the insertion hole 32h (for example, disengaged), thereby detaching the lower end of the lower protrusion 22 from the upper protrusion 32. This allows the lower protrusion 22 of the helmet stand 2 to be detached from the upper protrusion 32 of the dryer body 3.

[0044] The blower 30 is built into the dryer body 3. The blower 30 is located in the internal space 31s of the base portion 31 of the dryer body 3. The base portion 31 has an air intake port 38 formed therein for introducing outside air when the blower 30 is driven. The air intake port 38 is formed by opening in the X direction at the center of the rear surface of the base portion 31 in the Y direction.

[0045] Although not shown in the diagram, the internal space 31s of the base portion 31 may be provided with a heating device that heats the airflow passing through it (for example, a ceramic heater, a nichrome wire heater, a far-infrared radiator, etc.). The internal space 31s of the base portion 31 may be provided with other devices, not limited to those mentioned above.

[0046] When the blower 30 is activated during use of the helmet dryer 1, outside air (airflow) is introduced into the internal space 31s of the base section 31 via the air intake 38. The airflow introduced into the internal space 31s of the base section 31 is then introduced into the vent 20 via the internal space 32s of the upper projection 32, the internal space 22s of the lower projection 22, and the internal space 21s of the helmet support section 21. The airflow introduced into the vent 20 is then blown towards the inside of the helmet supported by the helmet support section 21.

[0047] The blower 30 is driven by power supplied from, for example, an external power source. Power is supplied from the external power source via a power cord 39 extending from the base unit 31. Alternatively, the blower 30 may be driven by power supplied from an internal power source (for example, a battery) built into the dryer body 3.

[0048] The blower 30 may be driven by operating an operating unit 35 (e.g., a button) provided on the base unit 31, or by operating a remote control device (e.g., a remote controller). The driving mode of the blower 30 is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0049] <Effects and Effects> As described above, the helmet dryer of this embodiment (for example, helmet dryer 1 in the embodiment) comprises a helmet stand (for example, helmet stand 2 in the embodiment) having a vent (for example, vent 20 in the embodiment) and configured to support a helmet, and a dryer body (for example, dryer body 3 in the embodiment) that incorporates a blower (for example, blower 30 in the embodiment), wherein the helmet stand is configured to be detachable from the dryer body. With this configuration, the helmet stand is detachable from the dryer body. When using the helmet dryer, the helmet stand can be attached to the dryer body to dry the inside of the helmet. On the other hand, when not using the helmet dryer, the helmet stand can be removed from the dryer body, allowing both the helmet stand and the dryer body to be stored in a space-saving manner. Therefore, the inside of the helmet can be dried when in use, and the helmet stand and dryer body can be stored in a space-saving manner when not in use.

[0050] In this embodiment, the helmet stand is formed in a flat shape and includes a helmet support portion (e.g., helmet support portion 21 in the embodiment) having a stand-side upper surface (e.g., stand-side upper surface 21a in the embodiment) in which the ventilation holes are formed and a stand-side lower surface (e.g., stand-side lower surface 21b in the embodiment) opposite to the stand-side upper surface, and a downward projection portion (e.g., downward projection portion 22 in the embodiment) that protrudes downward from the stand-side lower surface and is detachable from the dryer body. The dryer body is formed in a box shape and includes a base portion (e.g., base portion 31 in the embodiment) having a base-side upper surface (e.g., base-side upper surface 31a in the embodiment) facing the stand-side lower surface, and an upward projection portion (e.g., upward projection portion 32 in the embodiment) that protrudes upward from the base-side upper surface and is detachable from the downward projection portion. With this configuration, when using the helmet dryer, the lower protrusion of the helmet stand is attached to the upper protrusion of the dryer body, and the helmet is placed on the upper surface of the stand side of the helmet support, allowing the inside of the helmet to be dried stably. On the other hand, when the helmet dryer is not in use, the lower protrusion of the helmet stand can be removed from the upper protrusion of the dryer body, allowing both the helmet stand and the dryer body to be stored in a space-saving manner.

[0051] In this embodiment, the central part of the upper surface on the stand side has a shape that bulges upward when viewed from the side, the ventilation opening is formed in the central part of the upper surface on the stand side, the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the ventilation opening when viewed from the side, and a pair of downward protrusions are provided on the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side. With this configuration, the central part of the upper surface on the stand side has a shape that bulges upward when viewed from the side, and a vent is formed in the central part of the upper surface on the stand side. Compared to the case where the upper surface on the stand side (central and outer parts) has a uniform planar shape when viewed from the side, it is easier to send airflow towards the inside of the helmet through the vent, so the inside of the helmet can be dried efficiently. In addition, the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the vent when viewed from the side, and a pair of downward protrusions are provided on the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side. Compared to the case where only one downward protrusion is provided on the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side (only on one outer part), the helmet can be placed stably on the upper surface on the stand side of the helmet support when using the helmet dryer.

[0052] In this embodiment, the central part of the upper surface of the base has an operating part that can be operated by the user (for example, the operating part 35 in this embodiment), the outer parts of the upper surface of the base are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the operating part in a side view, and a pair of upward protrusions are provided on the outer parts of the upper surface of the base. This configuration allows the user to operate the control panel in the center of the upper surface of the base, eliminating the need to provide the control panel as a separate component, thus contributing to space saving. Furthermore, the outer parts of the upper surface of the base are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the control panel in a side view, and a pair of upward protrusions are provided on the outer parts of the upper surface of the base. Compared to a case where only one upward protrusion is provided on the outer parts of the upper surface of the base (only on one side), the helmet can be placed more stably on the stand-side upper surface of the helmet support when using the helmet dryer.

[0053] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the base includes an inclined surface (for example, the inclined surface 31c in the embodiment) that gradually slopes downward from the center in the depth direction of the base towards the front, and the operating part is provided on the inclined surface of the upper surface of the base. With this configuration, compared to a case where the upper surface of the base (the central and front sides in the depth direction of the base) has a uniform planar shape when viewed from the side, the user can operate the control unit more easily, thus allowing the inside of the helmet to be dried more efficiently.

[0054] <Variation> In the embodiments described above, the helmet stand is described as having a helmet support portion formed in a flat shape, having a stand-side upper surface with ventilation holes and a stand-side lower surface opposite to the stand-side upper surface, and a downward projection portion that protrudes downward from the stand-side lower surface and is detachable from the dryer body, and the dryer body is described as having a base portion formed in a box shape, having a base-side upper surface facing the stand-side lower surface, and an upward projection portion that protrudes upward from the base-side upper surface and is detachable from the downward projection portion, but is not limited to this. For example, the helmet stand may have a box-shaped helmet support portion. For example, the helmet support portion may have a stand-side upper surface with ventilation holes and a stand-side outer surface adjacent to the stand-side upper surface. For example, the helmet stand may have a stand-side outward projection portion that protrudes outward from the stand-side outer surface and is detachable from the dryer body. For example, the dryer body may have a flat-shaped base portion. For example, the base portion may have an outer surface on the base side that faces the outer surface on the stand side. For example, the dryer body may include an outer projection on the base side that protrudes outward from the outer surface on the base side and is detachable from the outer projection on the stand side. The configuration of the helmet stand and the dryer body can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0055] In the embodiment described above, the central part of the upper surface on the stand side has a shape that bulges upward when viewed from the side, the ventilation opening is formed in the central part of the upper surface on the stand side, the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the ventilation opening when viewed from the side, and a pair of downward protrusions are provided on the outer parts of the lower surface on the stand side. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the upper surface on the stand side (central part and outer part) may have a uniform planar shape when viewed from the side. For example, only one downward protrusion may be provided on the outer part of the lower surface on the stand side (only on one outer part). The shape of the upper surface on the stand side and the installation method of the downward protrusions can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0056] In the above-described embodiment, the central part of the upper surface of the base has an operating part that can be operated by the user, the outer parts of the upper surface of the base are spaced apart from each other so as to sandwich the operating part in a side view, and the upward protrusions are provided in a pair on the outer parts of the upper surface of the base, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the operating part that can be operated by the user may be provided on a different part (a separate part) from the dryer body. For example, only one upward protrusion may be provided on the outer part of the upper surface of the base (only on one side of the outer part). The installation configuration of the operating part and the upward protrusions can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, the upper surface of the base includes an inclined surface that gradually slopes downward from the center of the base in the depth direction toward the front, and the operating unit is provided on the inclined surface of the upper surface of the base, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the upper surface of the base (the center and front sides of the base in the depth direction) may have a uniform planar shape when viewed from the side. For example, the operating unit may be provided in a location different from the inclined surface. The shape of the upper surface of the base and the installation method of the operating unit can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0058] In the embodiments described above, an example of a helmet dryer was given as an example of a helmet dryer that is capable of supporting a motorcycle helmet and drying the inside of the helmet, but it is not limited to this. For example, the helmet dryer may be configured to support helmets other than those for motorcycles (for example, safety helmets for work sites, etc.). For example, the helmet dryer may include a helmet stand with vents formed therein and configured to support a helmet, and a dryer body with a built-in blower, and the helmet stand may be configured to be detachable from the dryer body. For example, the application mode of the helmet dryer can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0059] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these, and additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications to the configuration are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above embodiments can be combined as appropriate.
