Abstract:

A wall mounted hair dryer has an outlet for dispensing heated air which is movable to multiple positions and in multiple directions. The degrees of movement include translational and rotational degrees of freedom. Translational movements are provided by the outlet itself while an extension tube may be provided to permit additional translational degrees of freedom of movement as well as a rotational degree of movement. The translational degrees of freedom of movement permit the position of the outlet to be proximate the head of the person whose hair is being dried; the rotational degree of freedom of movement permits the selection of the direction in which the heated air is directed. The person whose hair is being dried may accomplish collateral tasks as his hair is being dried.
