Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical sector relating to hair-drying devices, with special reference to an improved hair-drying particularly applicable to both professional and domestic use.
- Figure 1 illustrates a hair-drying device of known type, denoted in its entirety with reference numeral 100, comprising a grip 101 for supporting an elongate casing 102 provided with a rear section 103 for inlet of environmental air and a front section 104 for dispensing the treated air (for example heated, ionized, etc.).
- a grip 101 for supporting an elongate casing 102 provided with a rear section 103 for inlet of environmental air and a front section 104 for dispensing the treated air (for example heated, ionized, etc.).
- the grip 101 is provided with buttons (not illustrated for the sake of simplicity) for commanding both the electric motor 105 (ON/OFF, speed variation) and the electric means 107 (temperature variation, ionisation etc); it is further provided with a cable for supplying the motor 105 and the electric means 107.
- Accessories are generally fixed to the front section 104, for treatment of hair or for conveying the dispensed air flow, with diverging geometry.
- the rear section 103 is provided with a protective netting 108, snap-fitted, for filtering the inlet of extraneous bodies (for example hair and dust) internally of the casing 102, such as to preserve the integrity of the fan 106 and the electric motor 105.
- a protective netting 108 snap-fitted, for filtering the inlet of extraneous bodies (for example hair and dust) internally of the casing 102, such as to preserve the integrity of the fan 106 and the electric motor 105.
- the greatest drawback of a like hair-drying device 100 of known type is represented by its noisiness during functioning, also for reduced functioning velocity, due mostly to the turbulence in the air flow created between the rear section 103 and the front section 104.
- US 2010/0064542 discloses a hair-dryer comprising a sound absorving material.
- the aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing an improved hair-drying device able to guarantee a particularly low noise level with respect to the solutions at present on the market.
- a further aim of the invention is to provide an improved hair-drying device which is particularly applicable for professional use, being able to prevent any feeling of discomfort both for the customer and the operator, especially in order to prevent onset of professional illnesses connected with the hearing.
- generic reference numeral 1 relates to the improved hair-dryer in its entirety, which comprises, in known ways set out in the introductory preamble:
- the improved hair-drying device 1 comprises, in a novel way, according to the first version, first sound-absorbing means 2 positioned internally of the casing 12, interposed between the rear section 13 and the fan 16, destined to reduce the noise level and/or the turbulence associated to the air flow W which is created between the rear section 13 and the front section 14.
- the first sound-absorbing means 2 comprise at least a sleeve 20, realised in a spongy sound-absorbing material, internally passed-through by the air flow W which is created between the rear section 13 and the front section 14.
- the sleeve 20 is positioned preferably coaxial to the rear section 13 of the casing 12, in line with the fan 16.
- the sleeve 20 is advantageously shaped in to a hollow conical structure having a divergent internal section proceeding from the rear section 13 towards the fan 16.
- the first sound-absorbing means 2 further comprise a tubular insert 21, positioned coaxially internally of the sleeve 20, having a honeycomb celled structure interested by the air flow W which is created between the rear section 13 and the front section 14.
- the tubular insert 21 advantageously exhibits an external profile which is complementary to an internal profile of the sleeve 20.
- the tubular insert 21 as shown in the figures of the drawings, comprises a plurality of parallel honeycombs, substantially tubular, having parallel axes to the axis of symmetry of the insert 21.
- the improved hair-drying device 1 comprises a closing capsule 3 suitable for removably coupling with the casing 12 in proximity of the rear section 13, and provided with a plurality of peripheral holes 30 able to allow inlet of the ambient air and conveying the air to the rear section 13 through a hollow space 4 identified between the casing 12 and the closing capsule 3.
- peripheral holes 30 are distributed aligned on a peripheral crown of the capsule 3 lying on a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the casing 12, preferably in proximity of the coupling section with the casing 12.
- the holes 30 are radial with respect to the longitudinal axis of the casing 12 and are preferably circular with the centre on axes which are arranged radially with respect to the longitudinal axis, such that the holes are facing in different directions from one another.
- the rear part of the device 1 comprising the rear section 13 and destined to couple with the capsule 3 is axialsymmetric with respect to the longitudinal axis and so is the closing capsule 3 too.
- the rear part has lateral annular walls covered by the annular lateral walls of the capsule 3 (when coupled), such as to define, between them, the hollow space 4 which has at least a partly annular shape, with a conical progression, and is symmetrical with respect to the previously-cited longitudinal axis of the casing 12.
- the hollow space 4 can taper in a distancing direction from the coupling section and can terminate in an internal chamber.
- the capsule 3 is integrated to the casing or, in other words, is coupled thereto unremovably.
- the improved hair-drying device 1 comprises second sound-absorbing means 5, associated to the bottom 31 of the closing capsule 3, comprising at least a plate 50 realised with spongy sound-absorbing material and arranged facing the rear section 13 of the casing 12.
- the plate 50 and the bottom 31 of the capsule 3 are profiled in a planar geometry, while in figure 4 the plate 50 and the bottom 31 are profiled concave with respect to the air flow Z coming from the hollow space 4.
- a conical appendage 51 emerges from the plate 50, which appendage 51 projects towards the facing rear section 13 of the casing 12, still with the aim of reducing noisiness and/or the turbulence associated to the air flow Z coming from the hollow space 4.
- the proposed improved hair-drying device is able to guarantee especially lower levels of noise with respect to the solutions at present available on the market, thanks to the presence of the first sound-absorbing means positioned internally of the casing, interposed between the rear section and the fan, possibly acting in combination with the second sound-absorbing means associated to the bottom of the closing capsule, if present.
- the first and/or second sound-absorbing means are advantageously made of a spongy material having a predetermined porosity.
- the improved hair-drying device is therefore particularly useful for professional use, being able to prevent any sensation of discomfort and annoyance due to the working noise level, both for the customer and the operator.
- the improved hair-drying device enables preventing the onset of professional illnesses connected to the hearing apparatus.
- sound-insulating means 200, 21 are provided, positioned internally of the casing 12, interposed between the rear section 13 and the fan 16, provided for reducing the noisiness associated to the air flow W which is created between the rear section 13 and the front section 14, which sound-insulating means comprise a sound-insulating element 200 having an internal passage 22 for enabling the flow W to cross it, and conforming a plurality of small fins 201, the respective free edges of which at least partially define the internal passage 22, the fins being distanced from one another such that between one and the other there is an empty space (see figures from 7 to 10).
- the sound-insulating element 200 is preferably made of PVC, although other materials, such as plastic materials, can be used.
- the fins 201 are annular, parallel and coaxial.
- the internal edges of the fins 201 are located on the lateral surface of an ideal cone diverging from the rear section 13 towards the fan 16.
- the cone can be regular, i.e. a circular cone, or not.
- the sound-insulating means further comprise a tubular insert 21, positioned in the internal passage 22 of the sound-insulating element 200, having a honeycomb structure suitable for being interested by the air flow W.
- This tubular insert 21 can be like the insert of the first version.
- the sound-insulating element 200 has an axialsymmetric annular shape and comprises an engaging section 202 the internal lateral surface of which partly defines the internal passage 22.
- the tubular insert 21 has an axialsymmetric form, is located in the engaging section 202 such as to occupy a part of the internal passage 22, and has an external lateral surface located in contact with the internal lateral surface of the engaging section 202, the two surfaces having complementary shapes.
- the coupling between the tubular insert 21 and the engaging section 202 can be a friction coupling or can be achieved by gluing or known fixing means.
- the insert 21 comprises a plurality of parallel honeycombs 210, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of symmetry of the insert and the axis of symmetry of the sound-insulating element 200.
- the second version of the invention can comprise embodiments in which it comprises the closing capsule 3 made exactly like the one in the first version, in all its variants.
- the improved hair-drying device though being particularly designed for professional use, is very effective also in simple and sporadic domestic use.
