Abstract

The air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) for the hair dryer ( 2 ) is connectable to the blower opening ( 7 ) of the hair dryer and produces a hot-air stream ( 9 ) and a cold-air stream ( 10 ) that are arranged side-by-side. The air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) has a hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and a cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) located side-by-side and, on an end connectable to the blower opening ( 7 ), has a central conduit entrance ( 11 ) and a coaxial conduit entrance ( 12 ), which open into the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) respectively. The air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) can be detached again from the dryer ( 2 ) and preferably has a snap-on coupling device ( 18 ) for connecting the air nozzle attachment to the dryer ( 2 ), which permits rotation of the air nozzle attachment.

Claims (11)

1. A hair dryer ( 2 ) having a fan and a heater for generating a central hot-air stream and a cold-air stream concentric to the central hot-air stream at a blower opening ( 7 ), a first air nozzle attachment, and a second air nozzle attachment ( 23 ) for optional usage;

wherein said second air nozzle attachment ( 23 ) only produces a hot air stream ( 9 ), and

wherein said first air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) is connectable to the blower opening ( 7 ) and produces a hot-air stream ( 9 ) and a cold-air stream ( 10 ) from said central hot-air stream ( 5 ) and said concentric cold-air stream ( 6 ), wherein said hot-air stream ( 9 ) and said cold-air stream ( 10 ) produced by the first air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) are arranged side-by-side, wherein the air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) comprises a hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and a cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) located side-by-side, wherein the first air nozzle attachment ( 8 ), on an end connectable with the blower opening ( 7 ), is provided with a central conduit entrance ( 11 ) and a coaxial conduit entrance ( 12 ) coaxial to the central conduit entrance ( 11 ), and wherein the central conduit entrance ( 11 ) opens into the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the coaxial conduit entrance ( 12 ) opens into the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) and wherein the first air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) is detachable from the blower opening ( 7 ).

2. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) are each formed as a flat nozzle ( 15 ) and the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) have respective flat sides on each other.

3. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) have at least approximately equal blower cross sections ( 16 , 17 ).

4. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) has a smaller blower cross-section ( 16 ) than a blower cross section ( 17 ) of the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ).

5. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) end at the same length.

6. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) is axially connectable to the hair dryer ( 2 ) in the region of the blower opening ( 7 ) so as to be rotatable to any angular position.

7. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first air nozzle attachment ( 8 ) comprises heat-resistant plastic ( 19 ).

8. The hair dryer as defined in claim 1 , wherein an outer part of the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and an outer part of the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) have different visual appearances and are visually distinguishable from each other.

9. The hair dryer as defined in claim 8 , wherein the outer part ( 20 ) of the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) has a red color, and the outer part ( 21 ) of the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) has a blue color, whereby the hot-air nozzle ( 13 ) and the cold-air nozzle ( 14 ) are visually distinguishable from each other.
