Abstract:
1. A hair dryer with a brush comprising: a main body having a tubular shaped housing serving as a grip portion, a fan for generating air flow disposed at a position inside of the housing, and a heater for heating the air flow disposed at a position on a downstream side of the air flow inside of the housing; a brush unit detachably engaged with an air outlet which is provided at a front end of the main body in an axial direction thereof and having an array of bristles provided to project in a direction perpendicular to said axial direction on an outer face of the brush unit, and slots or openings formed between the bristles through which the air flow blows; at least one negative ion generator provided on the main body for generating negative ions; two ion outlets through which the negative ions are emitted toward the brush unit, a first ion outlet of said two ion outlets provided on an outer face of the tubular shaped housing at a position adjacent to an implant face of the bristles, and a second ion outlet of said two ion outlets provided adjacent to an outer rear face of the brush unit opposite to the implant face of the bristles so that unheated negative ions are emitted directly to hair facing a front end of the brush unit; two chargeable members, each of which is provided to protrude from an outer face of an ion outlet housing, made of a material having a higher electrical conductivity than that of a material of said ion outlets, and charged by negative ions emitted from a respective ion outlet so as to prevent diffused distribution of the negative ions in a direction of protrusion of the respective chargeable member.
