Hair dryer

Abstract

An environment-friendly and functional hair dryer which is capable of smoothly discharging beneficial components, such as far-infrared radiation and negative ions, removing or filtering harmful components, and supplying essence oil to hair simultaneously with drying the hair. The hair dryer includes: a body formed with a drawing-in part and an ejection part; a blower installed within the body to eject air drawn in through the drawing-in part to the ejection part; a heater installed within the body to heat air ejected by the blower; and a negative ion and far-infrared generation member formed in a filter shape with a plurality of through-holes, and installed in the drawing-in part.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair dryer comprising:
 a body formed with a drawing-in part and an ejection part;   blower means installed within the body to eject air drawn in through the drawing-in part to the ejection part;   heater means installed within the body to heat air ejected by the blower means; and   a negative ion and far-infrared generation member formed in a filter shape with a plurality of through-holes, and installed in the drawing-in part.   
     
     
         2 . The hair dryer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the negative ion and far-infrared radiation producing member is a filter fabricated by sintering red clay and ceramic powders, and each of the through-holes has a hexagonal cross-section to form a honeycomb shape. 
     
     
         3 . The hair dryer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the negative ion and far-infrared radiation producing member is fixed in the inside of the body by interference fit. 
     
     
         4 . The hair dryer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the negative ion and far-infrared radiation producing member is impregnated with essence oil. 
     
     
         5 . The hair dryer as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the essence oil is impregnated in the negative ion and far-infrared radiation producing member under a vacuum pressure within a vacuum chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The hair dryer as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the negative ion and far-infrared radiation producing member is detachably fixed within the body. 
     
     
         7 . The hair dryer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a fixing shaft installed within the body to extend along the longitudinal direction of the body,
 wherein the fixing shaft comprises four vanes extending along the longitudinal direction of the body and forming a crisscross cross-section, a plurality of fixing notches are provided along the longitudinal edge of each of the four vanes, which are spaced apart from each other, and the heater means is fitted in the fixing notches to be wound on the fixing shaft.
