ABSTRACT:
A wall-mounted hair dryer appropriate for mounting in bathrooms with limited wall space comprises a housing contain a fan unit, an air flow divider which produces two air flows, and an electric heating unit which heats one of the air flows. A flexible conduit assembly directs the two air flows to a nozzle, and includes an inner conduit which conveys the heated air flow and an outer conduit which conveys the cooler air flow thereby ensuring that the exterior of the conduit assembly remains cool to the user's touch. The air flows are combined within the nozzle to reduce temperature of the discharged air. A frame is hinged to the housing and normally seats in a recess formed in a forward surface of the housing. A two-sided mirror assembly is mounted in a central opening formed in the frame for pivoting movement about a horizontal axis. An electrically-operable lighting unit including appropriate reflectors projects light to opposing sides of the frame thereby illuminating either of the mirror surfaces. The user has access to a mirrored surface and appropriate illumination despite location of the hair dryer where required by space constraints.
