Abstract
A battery powered blow dryer having a novel heating element technology that can be powered by an attached battery pack. The heating element includes an infrared light bulb that emits high heat with relatively low power consumption compared to current methods. The present invention patent also describes a unique configuration of battery cells to optimally perform the task of blow drying hair.
Claims20
A battery-operated hair dryer comprising:
- a case having an air flow channel with an air inlet and air outlet;
- one or more heating elements positioned within the air flow channel between the air inlet and air outlet;
- a fan assembly positioned within the air flow channel configured to draw in air through the air inlet, blow air over/through the one or more heating elements to heat the air, and the heated air exits through the air outlet;
- power control circuitry coupled to the one or more heating elements and the fan assembly;
- one or more sensors coupled to the control circuitry configured to detect a temperature of the hair;
- and
- a rechargeable battery pack configured to provide power to the power control circuitry and fan assembly.

A battery-operated hair dryer comprising:
- a case having an air flow channel with an air inlet and air outlet with a handle portion;
- one or more heating elements positioned within the air flow channel between the air inlet and air outlet;
- a fan assembly positioned within the air flow channel being configured to draw in air through the air inlet, blow over/through the heating element to heat the air, and the heated air exits through the air outlet;
- power control circuitry configured to control the one or more heating elements and fan assembly;
- one or more sensors coupled to the control circuitry configured to detect a temperature of the hair and adjust the power to the one or more heating elements when an ideal hair temperature is reached;
- and
- a rechargeable battery pack positioned within the handle portion configured to provide power to the heating element, power control circuitry and fan assembly.
