ABSTRACT:
A dual mode hair vacuum and dryer unit includes a cabinet with separate upper and lower compartments. An air pump in the cabinet has its suction inlet in the lower compartment and pressure outlet in the upper compartment for creating airflow through the air pump from the lower to the upper compartment. An air filter is disposed across the suction inlet of the air pump. A vacuum attachment connects to an air inlet nozzle on the cabinet for communicating vacuum airflow from a vacuum nozzle to the suction inlet of the air pump, via the lower compartment, which entrains hair cuttings in the vacuum airflow. A dryer attachment connects to an air outlet nozzle on the cabinet for communicating positive pressure airflow from the pressure outlet of the air pump to a drying nozzle, via the upper compartment, to dry hair. A baffle member forces vacuum airflow to take an indirect path through the lower compartment whereby hair cuttings entrained in the airflow will settle out and collect within the lower compartment before reaching the air filter. The cabinet also has doors for gaining access to the upper and lower compartments and includes insulation for absorbing the sound of the air pump. Further, a baffle panel provides a sound absorbing barrier for reducing transmission of air pump sound across the upper compartment to the air outlet nozzle. The airflow through the air pump cools it and thereby is heated prior to being communicated to the dryer nozzle.
