Combination hair dryer and vacuum

An apparatus for selectively blowing air and vacuuming debris, comprising:

• a housing having a tubular main member and a handle member;
• said tubular main member being generally cylindrical and having a hollow interior, opposite first and second ends, each of said ends of said main member having an opening into said hollow interior of said main member;
• said main member having generally cylindrical first and second portions, said first portion being located towards said first end of said main member, said second portion of said main member being located towards said second end of said main member, said second portion of said main member being threadably detachable from said first portion of said main member;
• a motor and being disposed in said hollow interior of said main member and mounted to said second portion of said main member;
• an impeller being disposed in said hollow interior of said second portion of said main member, said impeller being rotatably mounted to said motor such that said impeller is rotated by said motor when said motor is energized, said impeller being for moving air through said hollow interior of said main member from said second end of said main member towards said first end of said main member when rotated;
• said handle member being extended from said first portion of said main member, said handle member having an interior, a main portion and a trap portion, said main portion of said handle member having a plurality of finger indentations, said trap portion defining a hollow compartment, said hollow compartment being for holding debris therein, said trap portion of being detachably coupled from said main portion of said handle member;
• said housing having an opening between said hollow interior of said first portion of said main member and said compartment of said trap portion of said handle member;
• a valve member being disposed in said hollow interior of said main member, said valve member being located in said first portion of said main member, said valve member being pivotally coupled to said housing such that said valve member is pivotable between a first position and a second position;
• wherein said valve member substantially closes said opening between said hollow interior of said main member and said compartment of said trap portion when said valve member is in said first position such that air passing from said second end of said main member into said hollow interior of said main member exits from said first end of said main member;
• wherein said valve member substantially blocks said hollow interior of said main member when said valve member is in said second position such that debris passing from said second end of said main member into said hollow interior of said main member is diverted into said compartment of said trap portion;
• and
• said valve member having a lever being outwardly extended from said handle member of said housing, said lever being operatively connected to said valve member such that said lever permits selective pivoting of said valve member between said first position and said second position.
