Animal dryer

Abstract

A blower system to dry dogs or other animals, and designed to give a more forceful volume of air making it possible to separate and fluff the hair. One, two or three motors are available to draw air through a filter system, heat the air, and eject the air outward through hoses attached to a cage or a hand held dryer.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A hair dryer comprising a filter system, means for admitting surrounding air to the filter system, a partition having a plurality of openings for directing the air to leave the filter system, a plurality of valves in said openings for selectively permitting the air to leave said openings, a plurality of motors each having an air inlet connected to one of said openings, fans driven by the motors to blow the air past the motors and to thereby warm the air from the heat of the motors, means for collecting the warm air from the motors, and means for attachment to the collecting means for conducting warm air to a user. 
     
     
       2. The device of claim 1 wherein the means for admitting air comprises a plurality of holes drilled in the outer wall of the filter system. 
     
     
       3. The device of claim 2 further including controls for determining the number of motors operating simultaneously to thereby vary the volume of warm air being desired. 
     
     
       4. The device of claim 3 wherein the means for attachment to the collecting means comprises a plurality of fittings for holding flexible hoses. 
     
     
       5. The device of claim 4 wherein the filter system includes a compartment of fibrous material. 
     
     
       6. The device of claim 5 wherein the valves for permitting the air to leave the filter include circular, spring mounted disks. 
     
     
       7. The device of claim 6 further including spring mounted disks within the fittings for holding flexible hoses, said disks being pushed open when the hoses are inserted in the fittings. .Iadd. 
     
     
       8.  A hair dryer comprising a substantially airtight compartment, means for admitting surrounding air to said compartment, a partition having a plurality of openings for directing the air to said compartment, a plurality of valves in said openings for selectively permitting the air to leave said openings, a plurality of motors each having an air inlet connected to one of said openings, fans driven by the motors to blow the air past the motors and to thereby warm the air from the heat of the motors, means for collecting the warm air from the motors, and means for attachment to the collecting means for conducting warm air to a user. .Iaddend. .Iadd. 
     
     
       9.  The hair dryer of claim 8 which additionally comprises filter means for filtering the air entering said compartment. .Iaddend.
