Intake-exhaust type hair styling dryer

Intake-exhaust type hair styling dryer description/claims

The present invention relates to an intake-exhaust type hair styling dryer, which can perform drying and styling of hair at the same time along with other functions through intake and exhaust of air, moisture, etc.

In general, hair can be damaged by various factors, for example, cosmetic factors accompanied with physical or chemical stimuli by hot air exhausted from a hairdryer, straight permanent waves, styling products, dyeing, etc., deposit of metallic materials on the hair due to environmental pollution (in this regard, Asia has 17 times greater deposition of metallic materials, compared with the European or American continents), environmental factors resulting in severe damage of essential amino acid structure and melanin pigments of the hair, psychological factors, etc.

A conventional hairdryer or comb have problems in that, when grooming wet or dried hair therewith, the conventional hairdryer or comb is likely to damage the hair, which is disadvantageous in terms of health, particularly, the health of hair.

Furthermore, the conventional hairdryer is used in such a way that the hairdryer is operated with one hand while the comb is used with the other hand for styling the hair. In this way, since the hairdryer requires both hands for drying and styling of the hair, it is not only inconvenient, but also takes a lot of time. Furthermore, the conventional hairdryer has a problem in that, while drying and combing the hair at the same time therewith, dandruff or dust is likely to be exposed on the hair.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hairdryer, which enables drying and styling of hair to be performed at the same time, thereby ensuring beneficial effects to the health of hair along with various conveniences in use.

It is another aspect of the present invention to provide the hairdryer, which can prevent hairdryer heat-related damage of the hair, such as damage of cuticle layers of the hair, as can occur in the conventional hairdryer, and can provide an effect of styling the hair to straight permanent waved hair when continuously using the hairdryer even for curly hair, thereby minimizing physical, environmental and psychological factors that cause damage of the hair.

It is yet another aspect of the present invention to provide the hairdryer, which can remove dandruff, metallic materials deposited on the hair and scalp caused by air pollution and a secretion from Apocrine sweat glands causing an odor of the hair, and can relive stress on the head by massaging the scalp and hair roots via discharge of anions and vibration.

The above and other features and objects of the present invention will be apparent from the detailed description in combination of the accompanying drawings.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the above and other objects can be accomplished by the provision of an intake-exhaust type hair styling dryer, comprising: a comb including an intake hole, a first bristle extending through the intake hole, and an exhaust aperture spaced apart from the first bristle; a main body detachable attached to the comb and including an air outlet formed therein; an air intake and blowing device disposed in the body; and a filter positioned below the air intake and blowing device. The comb may further comprise a second bristle having the exhaust aperture formed therein, and the first bristle may comprise a groove formed along a body of the bristle. The comb may further comprise a rear filter disposed at a rear side of the first bristle within a comb housing, and a cover positioned on a back surface of the comb to cover the rear filter in the comb housing. The hair styling dryer may further comprises a cyclone device above the air intake and blowing device, and the air intake and blowing device may comprise an intake fan, a motor positioned below the intake fan, and a blowing fan positioned below the motor. A plurality of the first bristles may be arranged in an array parallel to a plurality of the exhaust apertures arranged in an array, the arrays of the bristles and the exhaust apertures being alternatively arranged such that the first bristles are disposed around each exhaust aperture. The hair styling dryer may further comprise a vibrator connected to the first and second bristles to generate vibration of the first and second bristles, wherein anions are emitted through the exhaust aperture.

As apparent from the above description, the hairdryer according to the invention enables rapid drying of the hair and desired hair setting without damage of the hair.

Furthermore, the hairdryer according to the invention can be used for various applications, for example, hair brossing for straight permanent waves, hair volumizing, etc.

Furthermore, the hairdryer of the invention can optionally perform intake and exhaust, thereby achieving various operations. For example, by operating the hairdryer to discharge only warmed air, it is possible to use the hairdryer of the invention as in the conventional hairdryers. In addition, the hairdryer of the invention enables removal of dandruff and dust from the hair which can be generated during combing of the hair.
