Heat insulating structure for hot air blower

Abstract

A heat insulating structure for hot air blower mounted between the inner barrel and the our cover thereof is provided for protecting users from being burned due to overheating of the outer cover. It is featured by a heat insulating member sandwiched by the inner wall of the outer cover and a flange on the outer wall of the inner barrel. The heat insulating member stops heat from being conducted toward the outer cover and thus achieves effects of enhancing user's safety and protecting the outer cover from burning out.
