DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INNOVATION

[0038] The hood for air diffuser for hair dryer that is object of this patent application for Utility Model, and which is generally indicated by reference number 1, comprises the assembly of two basic components, the main component being a hemispherical dome-shaped piece 2, and the second component comprising a C-shaped piece 3. 39. The hemispherical dome-shaped piece 2 includes an opening 5 on the rear region of the outlining wall 4, which starts from its bottom edge 6 and converges to a narrowing 7 with a semi-circular profile 8, whereas in alignment with the aforementioned opening 5, from the outer face 9 of the outlining wall 4, two protrusions 10 are provided, each including a pivot 11 on which the C-shaped piece (3) is assembled in a pivoted manner. 40. The C-shaped piece 3 features a semi-arch setup 12 with the ends 13 hereof fashioned in a rim 14, said C-shaped piece 3 working as an assembly means for the hood 1 with a diffuser 15, which, in turn, is assembled to the air outlet nozzle of a hand-held hair dryer 16.

[0039] The C-shaped piece 3 is configured to work as a resilient clamp, press-fitted against the air diffuser body 15, to which operation converges the shape of the ends 13 with a rim 14.

[0040] Pivots 11 that connect the protrusions 10 to the outer sides 17 of the C-shaped piece 3 enable the hemispherical dome-shaped piece 2 to change its position in relation to the C-shaped piece 3 and, therefore, also in relation to the air diffuser 15 and the hand-held hair dryer 16, as may be better understood through FIGS. 3A and 17.

[0041] Still regarding FIG. 17, it may be understood the fact that the opening 5 provided on the outlining wall 4 of the dome-shaped piece 2 has the function of allowing the air diffuser 15 to protrude into the hood, in order to allow the air flow coming from the hair dryer 16 to be directed, through the dome-shaped piece 2, to any hair part that needs drying.

[0042] The dome-shaped piece 2, when lowered and as shown in FIG. 1, functions to create a relatively restricted environment where accumulation of heat produced by the hand-held hair dryer 16 may take place, thus increasing hair drying efficiency.

[0043] The hood 1 features a main model shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 and 17 to 18, as well as an alternate variant 1A, which is shown in FIGS. 9 to 16 and 19 to 20, said variant 1A differing from the model 1 in that its lower edge 6 is configured to provide cutouts 6A that create, as a consequence, protrusions 6B that allow a different hot air outlet flow from within the hood. Analyzing all other details, model 1 and variant 1A are completely identical.

[0044] It should be noted that the hood 1 mentioned herein is not associated, in terms of practical usage, to the air diffuser model 15 shown in FIGS. 17 to 20, and said air diffuser model 15 is only shown as a non-limiting example, considering that the hood described herein may be used as a wide range of air diffuser models.
