Abstract (en)

[origin: US5701681A] The invention is directed to a hand-held hair dryer including a housing (10) which is comprised of a handle (12) and an air-moving outer tube (14); the outer tube (14) possesses an inlet port (16) and an outlet port (18) for an air stream, and the housing accommodates a heater and a fan generating and heating the air stream. Arranged in the outer tube (14) is an inner tube (42) receiving at least the heater. In this arrangement, the inner tube (42) is manufactured from a material having a higher thermal stability than the outer tube, and the inner tube (42) terminates flush with at least the outlet port of the outer tube (14) or projects beyond the outlet port of the outer tube (14) in the direction of flow (64). A hair styling implement as, for example, a nozzle (44), a diffuser or the like, is attachable to the inner tube (42).
