Abstract

An infrared hair drier having a front barrel and a rear barrel mounted with a grille defining the main body of the hair drier, wherein the main body is a conic shape enclosing a tapered inner barrel having a smooth surface for directing air, a first fixing frame having a tapered shape being formed by two vertical boards mounted across from each other and then being mounted within the inner barrel, the larger end of the fixing frame is provided with a recess for the adaption of a conductive metal rim, a second fixing frame, together with the first fixing frame, is used to enclose a heat emitting element, a motor for a fan is mounted to the external edge of the second fixing seat to provide air from an air-inlet when the motor is turned on, and the rear barrel is connected to the front barrel to form the hair drier.

Claims

1. An improved structure of an infrared hair drier having a front barrel and a rear barrel mounted with a grille defining the main body of the hair drier, characterized in that

the main body is substantially a conic shape enclosing a tapered inner barrel having a smooth surface for air-directing, a first fixing frame having a tapered shape being formed by two vertical boards mounted across each other and is mounted within the inner barrel, the larger end of the fixing frame is provided with a recess for the adaption of a conductive metal rim, a second fixing frame, together with the first fixing frame, is used to enclose a heat emitting element, a motor for a fan is mounted to the external edge of the second fixing seat to provide air from an air-inlet when the motor is turned on, and the rear barrel is connected to the front barrel to form the hair drier.

2. An improved structure of an infrared hair drier as set forth in claim 1, wherein one end of the second fixing frame is a recess for the adaptation of the flange of the motor.

3. An improved structure of an infrared hair as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rear barrel is formed into a L-shaped structure with a handle mounted at the lower surface thereof.

4. An improved structure of an infrared hair drier as set forth in claim 1, wherein the extreme end of the front barrel is provided with an air-guiding tube.
