ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a halogen hair dryer, and more specifically to a new halogen hair dryer which could treat hair in a combined way of convection heating and infrared radiation heating
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Generally, the hair dryer is used to dry up the hair by heated air flow generated by heat wire such as Ni—Cr alloy wire.
FIG. 1
shows the conventional hair dryer, comprising of body(
8
) which has hand grip(
2
) extending downward, an intake opening(
4
) and an exhaust opening(
6
) on the opposite side of it, a fan(
11
) driven by motor(
10
), a heat wire(
9
) disposed in front of fan(
11
) and a switch button(
12
) on the hand grip(
2
).
The user will press the switch button(
12
) to operate the motor(
10
) and the heat wire(
9
) to exhaust the heated air through the exhaust opening(
6
). But, because this type hair dryer may dry up the hair only by heat convection, the surface of hair may be easily heated, but the inner part of hair would not be sufficiently heated in a short time. And, if we heat the hair for long time enough to dry up into the inner part of hair, the hairline may be damaged by long time exposure of heated air. In addition, as the energy efficiency of heat wire is relatively low, the energy consumption is considerably high.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is suggested to solve the above mentioned problems and the object of the invention is to provide a new type of hair dryer having a halogen heater which may emit infrared and far-infrared radiations instead of conventional heat wire, and which may prevent the hair and head skin from being damaged and getting disease, and which may save the energy.
According to the invention, there is provided a halogen hair dryer which is comprised of a body(
8
) which has a hand grip(
2
) extending downward, an intake opening(
4
) and an exhaust opening(
6
) on the opposite side of it, a switch button(
12
) on the hand grip(
2
), a fan(
11
) driven by a motor(
10
) connected to the switch button(
12
) to intake the fresh air from the intake opening(
4
) and exhaust the heated air through the exhaust opening(
6
), a halogen heater(
14
) disposed in front of the fan(
11
) and connected to the switch button(
12
) and being capable of emitting a heated air flow and radiating an infrared and far-infrared ray, and an insulation material(
20
) around the halogen heater(
14
).
