Abstract
A hair dryer is provided that may include a main body including a discharge unit configured to discharge fluid, such as air outside of the main body, and a handle provided at one side of the main body. The discharge unit may include a discharge base inserted into the main body and configured to form a plurality of discharge paths which are separated from each other and through which fluid may flow. The discharge unit may be configured to selectively discharge fluid through one discharge path of the plurality of the discharge paths.
Claims23
A hair dryer, comprising:
- a main body comprising a discharge unit configured to discharge fluid outside of the main body;
- and
- a handle provided at one side of the main body, wherein the discharge unit comprises:
- a discharge base rotatable along a circumferential direction of the main body and inserted into the main body and configured to form a plurality of discharge paths which are separated from each other and through which fluid flows, wherein the plurality of the discharge paths comprises:
- an outer path arranged between the discharge base and an outer wall of the main body;
- and
- an inner path arranged in the discharge base, and wherein the discharge unit is configured to selectively discharge fluid through only one discharge path of the outer path and the inner path selected based on a rotational position of the discharge base.
