A drying machine includes a dryer and a stand. The dryer includes a casing having a front opening, a grip including a cylindrical grip body downwardly extended from the casing, and a lower cover covering a lower opening part of the grip body. The stand includes a hollow portion matched up with the grip, and a seating unit in which the dryer is rotatably seated. The grip includes a first electrical terminal positioned in the grip body and a second electrical terminal positioned in the lower cover. The seating unit includes a first contact terminal positioned in the hollow portion and electrically connected to the first electrical terminal, and a second contact terminal positioned in the hollow portion and electrically connected to the second electrical terminal. The first and second contact terminals maintain an electrical connection with the first and second electrical terminals regardless of the rotation of the dryer.

A home appliance including a dryer to discharge drying air and a stand is provided. The dryer includes a casing, a fan located in the casing, a heater located in the casing, a grip connected to the casing, and a dryer positioner located at the grip. The stand includes a receptacle to detachably mount an end of the grip of the dryer and a stand positioner located at the receptacle, the stand positioner cooperating with the dryer positioner when the grip is mounted in the receptacle to align the grip in a predetermined position. At least one of a magnetic force or a physical contact occurs between the dryer positioner and the stand positioner.

A dryer stand including a side cover having a through hole through which air is introduced and discharged, a seat provided above the side cover and allowing a dryer to be positioned thereon and an air purifier disposed in an inner space defined by the side cover, wherein the air purifier includes a fan for generating an air flow, and a filter disposed in a flow path of air flowing by the fan to dry a target object.

A dryer stand including a seat to receive a dryer thereon, a base spaced apart from the seat downward, a side cover forming a side appearance between the base and the seat, and a light positioned in an internal space defined by the side cover.

A dryer stand including a stem, a base, a receptacle on which a dryer is mounted, and a rotator including a rotation motor. An air discharge direction of the dryer can be automatically controlled by controlling the rotation direction and angle of the rotation motor based on the position and size of an object to be dried detected by a sensor.

A dryer includes a plurality of first electronic parts including a fan and a heater, a first battery to supply power to the first electronic parts, and a first controller to control power of the first battery. The first controller detects a charging ratio of the first battery, enters a first power saving mode if the charging ratio is a threshold charging ratio or less, and limits power supplied to at least one of the plurality of first electronic parts. A holder for holding the dryer includes a plurality of second electronic parts including a plurality of contact terminals, a second battery to supply power to the second electronic parts, and a second controller to detect a charging ratio of the second battery and enter a second power saving mode to limit power supplied to at least one of the plurality of second electronic parts.

A dryer stand having a base, a body having a first end connected to the base and a second end spaced upward from the base, and a receptacle located in the second end of the body, the receptacle being mounted to the second end of the body is provided. The receptacle can receive a dryer for discharging drying air. The mounting of the receptacle enables at least one of a tilting operation and a rotation operation in a clockwise-counterclockwise direction so that the discharge direction of the drying air can be shifted toward a front-rear direction and clockwise-counterclockwise direction with respect to the dryer stand, either simultaneously or separately, depending on the position and size of the object to be dried.

A support for a hair care appliance, the support including a stand portion that includes an aperture that extends through the stand portion and a collar that extends around the aperture, wherein the collar is adapted to retain an appliance with respect to the aperture so that fluid exiting the appliance is in fluid communication with the aperture of stand portion. The stand portion may include a first side and a second side wherein the first side is adapted to receive and retain the appliance. The collar may at least partially define an inner periphery of the aperture. The collar may include a first ring which at least partially defines the inner periphery of the aperture. The collar may include a second ring disposed radially inwards of the first ring.

A hanger device for mounting a blow dryer is provided which includes at least one elongate member having a first end and a second end. The elongate member forms a surface mounting section near the first end defining an attachment gap and a blow dryer support section near the second end. The blow dryer support section includes a substantially circular sway bar for resting an underside of a blow dryer. The substantially circular sway bar defines a gap configured to receive a blow dryer. The blow dryer support section defines one or more directional slots for positioning a nozzle of a blow dryer in a desired direction. The at least one elongate member may be a single elongate member so the entire hanging device is one continuous flow. The hanging device may further comprise a fastener fitted through the attachment gap to affix the hanger device to a wall, mirror, or other vertical surface. The blow dryer support section may define an open pass-through for an electrical cord between the sway bar and the directional slots to facilitate removal of a blow dryer. The position of a blow dryer can be changed by turning the blow dryer and moving the nozzle from a first directional slot to a second directional slot.

A support for a hair care appliance, the support comprising a first storage position and at least one further storage position, wherein the first storage position is configured to connect the hair care appliance to the support and the at least one further storage position is configured to connect at least one attachment for changing a property of fluid exiting from the appliance to the support. The support may include a stand portion and a base portion wherein the base portion is designed to sit atop a surface and the stand portion extends from the base portion and includes the first storage position and the at least one further storage position.
