Electric Hair Dryer

Abstract

The present invention relates to a functional hair dryer, which sufficiently utilizes heat emitted by a heater, such as a heater lamp, thus improving thermal efficiency, and eliminating harm occurring during the use of the hair dryer, and which prevents damage, such as the bursting of the heater, thus extending the lifespan of the hair dryer. The functional hair dryer of the present invention includes a main body ( 10 ) of the hair dryer having an air outlet ( 12 ) formed on a front thereof, and a heater ( 20 ) included in the main body ( 10 ), a blower being disposed behind the heater ( 20 ). The heater ( 20 ) includes a center connection portion ( 22 ), and a pair of inclined extension portions ( 24 ), which extend from both ends of the connection portion ( 22 ) to be inclined while extending away from each other toward front ends of the inclined extension portions ( 24 ).

1 . A functional hair dryer, comprising:
 a main body ( 10 ) of the hair dryer having an air outlet ( 12 ) formed on a front thereof, and a heater ( 20 ) included in the main body ( 10 ), a blower being disposed behind the heater ( 20 ), wherein the heater ( 20 ) comprises a center connection portion ( 22 ), and a pair of inclined extension portions ( 24 ), which extend from both ends of the connection portion ( 22 ) to be inclined while extending away from each other toward front ends of the inclined extension portions ( 24 ).   
   
   
       2 . The functional hair dryer according to  claim 1 , wherein the heater ( 20 ) is constructed in such a way that a heating element is included in a tube produced in a form of a red quartz tube. 
   
   
       3 . The functional hair dryer according to  claim 1 , wherein the heater ( 20 ) is accommodated in a heating housing ( 30 ) made of a bioceramic material, the heater housing ( 30 ) including a plurality of spaces ( 32 ), communicating with the air outlet ( 12 ) of the main body ( 10 ) so that the spaces pass through the heater housing ( 30 ). 
   
   
       4 . The functional hair dryer according to  claim 3 , wherein the heater housing ( 30 ) is made of a mixture of the bioceramic material and a negative ion material. 
   
   
       5 . The functional hair dryer according to  claim 3 , wherein the heater housing ( 30 ) is constructed so that depressed grooves ( 35 ) are formed in a circumference of the heater housing ( 30 ), facing an inner wall surface of the main body ( 10 ) in a longitudinal direction of the heater housing ( 30 ), and are arranged to be spaced apart from each other at regular intervals in a radial direction of the heater housing ( 30 ). 
   
   
       6 . The functional hair dryer according to  claim 4 , wherein the heater housing ( 30 ) is constructed so that depressed grooves ( 35 ) are formed in a circumference of the heater housing ( 30 ), facing an inner wall surface of the main body ( 10 ) in a longitudinal direction of the heater housing ( 30 ), and are arranged to be spaced apart from each other at regular intervals in a radial direction of the heater housing ( 30 ).
