Abstract
A hair drying apparatus consists of a curved radiation element for radiating of infrared rays and a reflector for supporting the radiation element and for reflecting infrared rays radiated from the radiation element. A rotating member is provided for rotatable support of the pivotal motion of the reflector. The hair drying apparatus has a drive engagement for activating a rotating member which includes a slip clutch mechanism stopping the rotation of the rotating member when the radiation element and the reflector strike an object during the rotation.
Claims17
A hair drying apparatus comprising
- a curved radiation element for radiating of infrared rays;
- a reflector for supporting said radiation element and for reflecting infrared rays radiated from said element;
- a rotating member for supporting rotatable motion of the reflector;
- and
- drive means for driving said rotating member, said drive means having a slip clutch mechanism for stopping the rotation of said rotating member when said radiation element and reflector strike an object during the rotation.
A hair drying apparatus, comprising
- a radiation element for radiating infrared rays,
- a reflector for supporting said radiation element and for reflecting the infrared rays radiated by said element, said reflector being curved,
- a rotating member for supporting said reflector about an eccentric axis of rotation,
- whereby said curved reflector being spaced from a human head during it rotation to ensure uniform radiation of the human head.
The hair drying apparatus as claimed 9, wherein the curvature of said radiation element substantially follows the curvature of the reflector.
An apparatus for radiating hair located on a human head, said head having at least anterior, upper and lower posterior portions, said apparatus, comprising
- a radiation element for radiating infrared rays,
- a reflector for supporting said radiation element and for reflecting infrared rays radiated by said element,
- a rotating member for supporting said reflector about an eccentric axis of rotation,
- whereby said apparatus radiates the hair in such a manner that radiation of the hair located on the upper posterior portion is substantially less than radiation of the hair located on the anterior and the lower posterior portions.
