The claimed holder for a hairdryer, like the above-mentioned prototype, comprises an upper part, which is an elongated holder body having a U-shaped cross-section. Flat lateral sides of a fastening end of the holder body are provided with opposite holes, through which the axis of the holder body passes, fixed at both ends with the possibility of its detaching. The ends of the holder body axis extend outward on both lateral sides of the holder body and are provided with a thread, whereby one end of the holder body axis is connected to a fixing screw and the other end of the holder body axis is fixed by a screw or nut or other similar means. The fixing screw is configured to press the lateral sides of the holder body toward each other or vice versa to release them. By positioning the holder body on the axis of the holder body, it is possible to rotate the holder around the axis and to change the position of the hairdryer by tilting the holder body.
On the lateral sides of the opposite free end of the holder body are provided opposite holes. These holes are made for accommodating therein ends of an elastic, resilient cord (or band, belt, cord with Velcro), forming an opening between the inner surface of the holder body and the belt, into which a handle of a hairdryer is accommodated. The outer edges of the holder body may have a convex shape for ease of placement of elastic cords or band or belt or cord with Velcro.
Due to the use of an elastic cord or band or belt or cord with Velcro and due to the possibility to press or release of the lateral sides by the fixing screw, it is possible to adapt the internal size of the holder body to handle of different sizes.
Between the sides of the holder body, a stand is fastened to the axis of the holder body and configured to rotate around the axis of the holder body. For this purpose one end of the stand is provided with at least two parallel flat protrusions with holes, by means of which the stand is arranged on the axis of the holder body. The presence of at least two such parallel flat protrusions is caused by the necessity of more reliable fixing of the position of the stand on the axis of the holder body and reduction of the possibility of uncontrolled lateral tilting of the holder body relative to the stand.
When storing the holder when not in use, the stand rotates around the axis of the holder body and takes a position inside it, being held inside the holder body by an elastic cord or by the fixing screw of the central axis. In this case, the overall dimensions of the holder are reduced by almost two times.
The possibility of fixing not only the holder body on the body axis, but at the same time the possibility of fixing the position of the holder body relative to the stand, while maintaining the function of folding the stand into the inside of the body, is provided by the following.
Inside the body at its fastening end, the insert is tightly mounted and fastened relative to the body, which like the holder body is made of an elastic material. The insert can be made integral with the holder body. The elastic material can be either elastic plastic or aluminum or another elastic material.
The longitudinal cross-section of the insert is made with a W-shaped form, wherein all side surfaces of the W-shaped insert are made with holes located opposite the holes made in the lateral sides of the fastening end of the holder body. These holes are configured to accommodate therein the axis of the holder body. The grooves of the W-shaped insert are intended to accommodate therein the flat protrusions of the stand. In this case, the stand has the possibility to perform rotational movements inside the grooves of the W-shaped insert around the axis of the holder body. The fixing screw ensures that the sides and vertical elements of the insert are pressed against the sides of the flat longitudinal protrusions of the stand, thus fixing the position of the body relative to the stand.
The possibility of changing the position of the holder not only by changing the angle between the longitudinal axes of the holder body and the stand, but also due to the possibility of rotation of the holder body around the longitudinal axis of the stand, as well as due to the possibility of increasing the length of the stand, is provided in the following way.
The stand is made cylindrical, consisting of two parts. The part of the stand connected to the holder body is made with a T-shaped longitudinal section, and the other part of the cylindrical stand is made with an H-shaped longitudinal section.
Flat protrusions described above are made on the outer surface of the horizontal portion of the T-shaped part of the stand.
The vertical portion of the T-shaped part of the stand is designed to be arranged in the upper groove of the H-shaped part of the stand. The dimensions of the vertical portion of the T-shaped part of the stand correspond to the dimensions of the upper groove of the H-shaped part of the stand to allow unrestricted rotation of the vertical portion of the T-shaped part of the stand inside the groove of the H-shaped part of the stand, providing for a contact between the upper end face surface of the H-shaped part of the stand and the horizontal surface of the T-shaped part of the stand arranged around its vertical part.
Both parts of the stand are connected together as follows. In the vertical portion of the T-shaped part of the stand is provided a central longitudinal threaded hole. In the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand is provided a through central hole, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the longitudinal threaded hole provided in the other part of the stand.
Both parts of the stand are interconnected by a screw installed on the side of the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand. The screw passes freely through the central hole in the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand and is screwed in its initial position until it stops in the central longitudinal threaded hole in the vertical portion of the T-shaped part of the stand.
The length of the screw leg is larger than the combined height of the two holes so that in the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand will be accommodated a part of the screw leg, the length of which is measured from its head to the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand.
The contacting with each other surfaces of the H-shaped and T-shaped parts of the stand are provided in a zigzag shape with the possibility of arranging a zigzag protrusion of one contacting surface in the zigzag groove of the other contacting surface. In this way, the position of the T-shaped part of the stand relative to the H-shaped part is fixed and their spontaneous free rotation relative to each other is prevented.
On the free part of the screw leg between the screw head and the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand is arranged a first spring in a normally compressed state. When the T-shaped part of the stand rotates around its axis, the vertical portion makes a rotational movement along the threads, increasing the length of the free part of the screw leg located in the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand. At the same time, when the T-shaped part of the stand rotates relative to the H-shaped part, their zigzag surfaces, which are in contact with each other, move relative to each other. This movement of one zigzag surface in relation to the other is provided by the first spring, which makes it possible to lift the T-shaped part of the stand in relation to the H-shaped part due to the free positioning the screw leg in the central hole of the H-shaped part of the stand. After the necessary rotation of the T-shaped part of the stand relative to the H-shaped part is performed, the rotation of the T-shaped part is stopped, wherein due to the compressive force of the first spring, the T-shaped part of the stand is pressed against the H-shaped part of the stand in a position where the protrusions of one zigzag surface are located in the grooves of the other zigzag surface.
The possibility of extending the stand is realized as follows.
In the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand are arranged two T-shaped elements, the vertical portion of which are connected with each other by means of an axis with the possibility of the T-shaped elements rotating around it. Due to such interconnection the horizontal portions of both T-shaped elements will be oriented in opposite directions.
The horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element faces the horizontal of the H-shaped part of the stand. Wherein in the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element a cavity is provided, in which is arranged a normally released second spring, the longitudinal axis of which is directed along the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element. On the side surface of the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element is provided a hole, communicating with the first hole provided in the lower vertical portion of the H-shaped element. Said holes are intended for accommodating an outwardly extending button having an elongated shape and acting as a stopper for the upper T-shaped element in its initial position, preventing its vertical movement when the button stem is placed in the first hole, made in the lower vertical portion of the H-shaped part of the stand. The button is mounted with the possibility of influencing the second spring, whereby the longitudinal movement of the button causes the corresponding compression of the second spring with the subsequent movement of the button into the cavity, wherein the second spring is arranged with the button released from the engagement with the first hole provided in the lower vertical portion of H-shaped part of the stand.
A normally compressed third spring is arranged in the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand between the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand and the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element. When the button is moved into the cavity, in which the second spring is arranged, and the button is released from engagement with the lower vertical portion of the H-shaped part of the stand, the first T-shaped element under the influence of the third spring is pushed outwardly from the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand, while pushing out the second T-shaped element outwardly. In the fully extended outward position of the T-shaped elements, the axis connecting them is positioned outside, providing possibility to change the angle between the longitudinal axes of the vertical portions of the two T-shaped elements.
The fixation of the position of the first T-shaped element in the extended relative to the initial position is carried out when the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element reaches the level, at which a second hole is provided in the lower vertical portion of the H-shaped part of the stand to accommodate the button. When the axes of the button and the second hole coincide, the button under the action of the compressed second spring, tending to expand, extends into the second hole for engagement with it and thereby securing the extended position of the first T-shaped element.
A threaded central hole is made on the outer surface of the horizontal portion of the second T-shaped element is provided for connection with means for fastening the stand to support surfaces.
In order to provide fastening the stand to a flat horizontal surface, the stand can be connected to a vacuum cup provided with a threaded support pin configured to be screwed into the central threaded hole made on the outer surface of the horizontal portion of the second T-shaped element.
The second T-shaped element can be connected to a claw clamp provided with a threaded support pin configured to be screwed into the central threaded hole made on the outer surface of the horizontal portion of the second T-shaped element, to enable the stand to be mounted on the headboard, a pipe, etc.
The stand can be fastened to a vertical surface by means of two vacuum cups provided with support pins configured to be screwed into threaded holes made one above the other in the vertical portion of the H-shaped part of the stand.
The T-shape form of both elements is due to the need to reduce the friction forces when they move in the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand. The horizontal portion of the second T-shaped element can be in its initial position located outside the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand to allow the means for fastening to be easily screwed into it.
The connection of the vertical portions of both T-shaped elements by means of an axis with the possibility of their rotation around said axis allows to vary the angle of the stand relative to the supporting surface by rotating of the second T-shaped element in its extended position, the fixation of the angle of inclination of both T-shaped elements is carried out by means of a screw or other fixation method—for example, a tongue-and-groove.
It is advisable to perform the central hole made on the outer surface of the second T-shaped element unified in order to enable the holder to be connected to a stand for cameras, etc.
