Abstract

A hair dryer attachment that slides over and removably attaches to a barrel end of a hair dryer so that while a user uses a conventional brush with one hand, the user can hold the hair dryer in the other hand and use the hair dryer attachment to comb intermittently during blowouts.

Claims (19)

1. A hair dryer attachment comprising:

a body having a substantially cylindrical shape that is configured to slide over a barrel end of a hair dryer;

a plurality of teeth or bristles each having a base and a free end extending outward from the body; and

a metallic base plate at the base of the plurality of teeth or bristles that conducts heat so that recently heated hair combed by the plurality of teeth or bristles has heat dispersed to the same and other hair as hair is combed, the metallic base plate being a panel that has a curve that is complementary to body wherein the base of each of the plurality of teeth or bristles are each connected to a teeth plate, and wherein the teeth plate connects to the body.

2. The hair dryer attachment of claim 1 , wherein the body is rigid.

3. A hair dryer attachment comprising:

a body having a substantially cylindrical shape that is configured to slide over a barrel end of a hair dryer;

a plurality of teeth or bristles each having a base and a free end extending outward from the body; and

a metallic base plate at the base of the plurality of teeth or bristles that conducts heat so that recently heated hair combed by the plurality of teeth or bristles has heat dispersed to the same and other hair as hair is combed, wherein the metallic base plate has a plurality of openings so that each of the plurality of openings receives one of the plurality of teeth or bristles wherein the base of each of the plurality of teeth or bristles are each connected to a teeth plate, and wherein the teeth plate connects to the body.

4. A hair dryer attachment comprising:

a body having a substantially cylindrical shape that is configured to slide over a barrel end of a hair dryer;

a plurality of teeth or bristles each having a base and a free end extending outward from the body; and

a metallic base plate at the base of the plurality of teeth or bristles that conducts heat so that recently heated hair combed by the plurality of teeth or bristles has heat dispersed to the same and other hair as hair is combed, wherein the base of each of the plurality of teeth or bristles are each connected to a teeth plate, wherein the teeth plate connects to the body, and wherein the teeth plate forms a surface that is continuous so that air flowing radially outward is blocked by the teeth plate.

5. The hair dryer attachment of claim 4 , wherein the body forms a surface that blocks flow of the air radially outward.

6. A hair dryer attachment comprising:

a body having a substantially cylindrical shape that is configured to slide over a barrel end of a hair dryer, the body having a wall with an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface, the inner surface forms a hollow interior;

a plurality of teeth or bristles each having a base and a free end extending outward from the body; and

a plurality of tabs extending inward from the inner surface of the body to grip the barrel end of a hair dryer, the plurality of tabs each having a surface that forms a free end so that the surface bends about the inner surface of the body to contact the barrel end of the hair dryer when the hair dryer attachment is attached to the hair dryer the plurality of tabs fold in a direction parallel with the axis of the barrel.

7. The hair dryer attachment of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of tabs are positioned at a front end and a back end of the body.
