Abstract:
1. A hair dryer mounting apparatus for attachment to a generally vertical supporting surface for holding a hair dryer, said apparatus comprising: a wall mounting plate for attachment to a generally vertical supporting surface; a support bracket removably connectable to said wall mounting plate; an adjustable arm including a first arm member affixed to said support bracket and a second arm member connected to said first arm member by a pivot joint configured to allow for selective angular adjustment of said second arm member relative to said first arm member about a generally vertical pivot axis; a hair dryer holder connected to second arm member by a pivot joint configured to allow for selective pivotal movement of said hair dryer holder about a generally horizontal pivot axis; and said hair dryer holder including a semi-cylindrical wall having a distal end defining a generally slotted opening, and the proximal end including a downwardly projecting wall portion, and a generally V-shaped top portion formed by upwardly and outwardly flared sides; said connection between said first arm member and said second arm member comprises a pivotal connection spring biased to a fixed configuration, whereby manual angular adjustment is accomplished by application of a force sufficient to cause said pivotal connection to disengage thereby permitting angular adjustment of said second arm member relative to said first arm member about said generally vertical pivot axis; and said connection between said second arm member and said hair dryer holder comprises a pivotal connection spring biased to a fixed configuration, whereby manual angular adjustment is accomplished by application of a force sufficient to cause said pivotal connection to disengage thereby permitting angular adjustment of said hair dryer holder relative to said second arm member about said generally horizontal pivot axis.
