Mounting fixture for a hand-held hair dryer

A mounting fixture for a hand-held hair dryer having an elongate dryer handle and barrel extending from a central portion, the dryer handle and barrel having a generally perpendicular orientation with respect to one another, said mounting fixture comprising:

• a fixture body including a base portion having a support surface, and an arm portion extending from said support surface in a direction generally perpendicular to said support surface;
• a bridge member supported on said arm portion, said bridge member having a longitudinal axis which is generally parallel to said support surface, said bridge member being spaced from said support surface;
• a clasp mounted on said support surface and spaced from the longitudinal axis of said bridge member, said clasp being adapted to receive the end of the dryer handle and to impede displacement of the dryer handle relative to said bridge member;
• a clamp connected to said bridge member for holding the dryer barrel against the bridge member when the end of the dryer handle is inserted into said clasp;
• and
• said arm portion having a slot, said bridge member being slidably mounted in said slot for translation toward and away from said support surface, said bridge member being adapted to be secured in a plurality of positions in said slot.

A mounting fixture for a hand-held hair dryer comprising:

• a first pair of arms connected together at one end by a first hinge enabling said first pair of arms to grasp a support member;
• a second pair of arms sandwiching said first pair of arms at the end opposite from said first hinge, said sandwiched portions of said first pair of arms and said sandwiching portions of said second pair of arms each having a linking bore coaxially aligned with the other said linking bores;
• a linking bolt extending through said linking bores to clamp said first and second pairs of arms together thereby to clamp said first pair of arms around the support member and to enable adjustable inclination of said second pair of arms with respect to the plane which contains said first pair of arms;
• and
• a second hinge formed in one of said second arms enabling said one of said second pair of arms to be swung between open and closed positions enabling said second pair of arms to grasp a handle of the hand-held hair dryer.
