Patent ID: 6986212

Claim:
A hair dryer with a minus ion generator comprising: a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet; a fan disposed between said air inlet and said air outlet in said housing; a pair of first and second air flow channels extending toward said air outlet in said housing, said first air flow channel having a heater therein and separated from said second air flow channel by a partition wall, thereby simultaneously providing two air flows having different temperatures from said air outlet; and said minus-ion generator disposed in said housing such that the air flow provided by said second air flow channel is mixed with minus ions generated by said minus-ion generator, wherein said housing has an minus-ion outlet formed at a different position from said air outlet such that the minus ions supplied from said minus-ion outlet is preferentially mixed with the air flow provided from said air outlet through said second air flow channel and an ion-flow channel branched from said second air flow channel and coupled to said minus-ion outlet, and wherein said minus ion generator is disposed in said ion-flow channel.
