Abstract (en)

A manual air jet hairdryer, capable of drying hairs so as to provide an effect simulating that of a natural hair drying is herein disclosed. To achieve this end, the hot air is directly ejected from air ejecting nozzles affixed to the palm portions of the two hands of the user. In particular, air exiting from the nozzles is at first heated by a thermal exchanger arranged immediately near the drying place. Air is conveyed from the thermal exchanger to the user hands through a half-flexible hose, bearing on a floor, and then, through a flow switching element, through two flexible hoses which directly arrive at the two user wrists. The interexchangeable air nozzles can be designed either as directional nozzles or diffuser nozzles, in one, two or three spatial directions. For pressurizing air delivered to the nozzles, a conventional commercially available compressor can be used.
