Hair dryer with freely switchable handle

Abstract

A hair dryer with a freely switchable handle includes a handle and a body. The body has a receiving seat with a positioning recess. The handle includes: a fixed plate; a connector fixedly mounted on the fixed plate and removably received within the receiving seat of the body; at least one wing located below the connector and pivotally mounted on the fixed plate; and a sliding pin slidably mounted on the fixed plate and extending longitudinally through the connector toward the positioning recess of the receiving seat of the body. The at least one wing is pivotally engaged with the sliding pin so that when the at least one wing pivots relative to the fixed plate, it causes the sliding pin to move longitudinally accordingly. The hair dryer of the present invention is particularly flexible, convenient, and reliable in use.

Claims

1. A hair dryer, comprising: The main body has a receiver base with a positioning notch; and a handle, including a fixing plate. A connector, fixedly mounted on the fixed disk and removably accommodated within the receiving seat of the body; at least one wing located below the connector, pivotally mounted on the fixed disk; and a sliding pin, slidably mounted on the fixed disk and extending longitudinally through the connector toward the positioning notch of the receiving seat of the body, wherein at least one wing is pivotally engaged with the sliding pin such that when at least one wing pivots relative to the fixed disk, it causes the sliding pin to move longitudinally accordingly, wherein the fixed disk has an outer peripheral portion and a central longitudinal channel, the sliding pin is non-rotatably passed through the central longitudinal channel of the fixed disk, at least one support is provided on the sliding pin, the top inner portion of at least one wing is pivotally engaged with at least one support, and the top outer portion of at least one wing is pivotally mounted on the outer peripheral portion of the fixed disk.

2. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein, The connector of the handle and the receiver of the body are temporarily fixed to each other by magnetic attraction.

3. The hair dryer according to claim 2, wherein, The sliding pin and the positioning notch of the receiving seat of the main body form a non-rotatable shape fit relationship.

4. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein, At least one of the support seats is fixedly mounted on the sliding pin, and when at least one of the flaps is pivoted relative to the fixed plate to the innermost position, the sliding pin extends out of the connector until it engages with the positioning recess, and when at least one of the flaps is pivoted relative to the fixed plate to the outermost position, the sliding pin does not extend out of the connector.

5. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein, At least one of the support seats is connected to the sliding pin by a threaded fastener, such that the sliding pin is longitudinally displaceable relative to at least one of the support seats when the threaded fastener is manually adjusted.

6. The hair dryer according to claim 5, wherein, When at least one of the flaps is pivoted relative to the fixed plate to the innermost position, the sliding pin extends out of the connector until it engages with the positioning notch; and when at least one of the flaps is pivoted relative to the fixed plate to the outermost position, the sliding pin does not extend out of the connector.

7. The hair dryer according to claim 5, wherein, Regardless of the position of at least one flap relative to the fixed plate, the sliding pin never extends out of the joint.

8. The hair dryer according to claim 7, wherein, It also includes a wall-mounted bracket in which the handle can be held when at least one of the flaps is pivoted relative to the fixed plate to its innermost position.

9. The hair dryer according to claim 5, wherein, The sliding pin is provided with a locating pin that passes through it laterally, and at least one of the support seats is provided with a longitudinal groove. The relative displacement of the sliding pin and at least one of the support seats is limited by the longitudinal movement of the locating pin within the longitudinal groove.

10. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein, At least one of the blades comprises three blades surrounding the fixed disk, each blade tapering downwards.

11. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the support seats is longitudinally guided within the fixed plate.

12. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein, The main body is also provided with snap fasteners that are fixed around the receiver base, for engaging the mating snap fasteners on the external power cord to prevent the power cord from accidentally detaching from the main body.
