Opposite holes 3 are made on the flat lateral sides 2 of the fastening end of the holder body 1 for accommodating an axis 4 of the holder body, detachably fastened to the outside of both sides of the holder body 1. One end of the axis 4 of the holder body 1 is provided with a thread for connection with the fixing screw 5, configured to press or release the lateral sides 2 of the holder body in relation to each other. The holder body 1 is arranged on the axis 4 with the possibility of rotation around it. On the lateral sides 2 of the opposite end of the holder body are provided opposite holes 6 for accommodating in them the ends of the elastic belt 7 (belt 7 can be made in the form of any elastic cord, ribbon, strip) with the formation of an opening 8 between the inner surface of the holder body 1 and belt 6 for accommodating the handle of the hairdryer. Between the lateral sides 2 of the holder body on the axis 4 is fastened the stand 9, made with the possibility of rotation around the axis 4. For this purpose one end of the stand 9 is provided not less than two parallel flat protrusions 10 with holes, by means of which the stand 9 is arranged on the axis 4. The transverse dimension of the stand 9 is smaller than the distance between the sides 2 of the holder body. Inside the body 1 in its fastening end between the sides 2, an insert 11 made of an elastic plastic is tightly mounted and fastened. The insert 11 is made integral with the holder body 1. The insert 11 is made with a longitudinal section of a W-shaped form, the vertical sides 12 of the longitudinal section of the W-shaped insert are provided with through holes to accommodate the axis 4, wherein the flat protrusions 10 of the stand are arranged in the grooves 13 of the W-shaped insert 11. The stand is cylindrical, consisting of two parts, wherein the part 14 of the stand 9, connected to the holder body by means of flat protrusions 10, is made with T-shaped longitudinal section, and the other part 15 of the stand is made with H-shaped longitudinal section. The vertical portion 16 of the T-shaped part of the stand is configured to be arranged into the upper groove 17 of the H-shaped part of the stand 9. The dimensions of the vertical portion 16 of the T-shaped part of the stand correspond to the dimensions of the upper groove 17 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, simultaneously providing for a contact between the upper end face surface of the H-shaped part of stand and the horizontal surface of the T-shaped part of the stand arranged around its vertical portion. In the vertical portion 16 of the T-shaped part of the stand is provided a central longitudinal threaded hole 18, and in the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand is provided a central through the hole 19, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the longitudinal threaded hole 18. Both parts 14 and 15 of the stand 9 are interconnected by means of a screw 20 to be mounted at the side of the lower groove of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand. The screw 20 passing freely the central hole 19 is screwed into the central longitudinal threaded hole 18. The length of the screw leg 20 is larger than the combined height of both holes 18 and 19 so that the free part 21 of the screw leg 20, the length of which is measured from its head to the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part of the stand, can be arranged in the lower groove 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. On the free part 21 of the screw leg 20 is arranged the first spring 22 in a normally compressed state. In the lower groove of the H-shaped part of the stand are arranged two T-shaped elements 23 and 24, the vertical portions of which are connected with each other by means of the axis 25 with the possibility of rotation of the T-shaped elements around it. The horizontal portions of both T-shaped elements 23 and 24 are oriented in opposite directions. The horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element 23 is facing the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand. In the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element 23 a cavity 26 is provided, in which is arranged a normally released second spring 27 with its longitudinal axis directed along the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element 23. On the lateral surface of the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element 23 is provided a hole 28 for communicating with the first hole 29 made in the lower vertical portion of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand. Holes 28 and 29 are intended for accommodating an outwardly extending button 30, which has an elongated shape and acting as stopper for the upper T-shaped element 23 when it engages with the said holes 28 and 29. Button 30 is mounted with the possibility of impacting on the second spring 27, whereby the longitudinal movement of the button 30 causes a corresponding compression of the second spring 27 with a subsequent movement of the button 30 into the cavity 26 with the release of the button 30 from engagement with the hole 29. In the lower groove of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand between the horizontal portion of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand and the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element 23 coaxially with the stand 9 is arranged a normally compressed third spring 31 to ensure pushing out of the first T-shaped element 23 outward when the button 30 is released from engagement with the hole 29. When the first T-shaped element 23 is in its fully extended position, the axis 25 connecting both T-shaped elements is located outside. Fixation of the extended position of the first T-shaped element 23 is provided for by engaging the button 30 with a second hole 32, made in the lower vertical portion of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand and arranged below the second hole 29. Engagement of the button 30 with the second hole 32 occurs when the horizontal portion of the first T-shaped element 23 reaches the level of the hole 32 and when the axes of the button 30 and the hole 32 coincide, wherein, under the action of the compressed second spring 27 the button 30 is extended into the hole 32 for engagement with it. The outer surface of the horizontal portion of the second T-shaped element 24 is provided with a central threaded hole 33 for connection with the means for fastening the stand to support surfaces. In order to secure the stand to a flat horizontal surface, the stand 9 is connected to a vacuum cup 34 provided with a threaded support pin configured to be screwed into the central threaded hole 33. In order to connect the stand to the tubular, ribbed surfaces, the second T-shaped element 24 is connected to a claw clamp 35 provided with a threaded support pin 36 configured to be screwed into the hole 33. The claw clamp is known and presented, for example, in sources: https://batareika36.ru/derzhatel-telefona/derzhatel-telefona-s022-ph03-kleshnya-udlin.html, https://dm-opt.ru/accessories/derzhateli-krepleniia/avtomobilnye-derzhateli-1/3804--2200000077356/. The fastening of the stand 9 to a vertical surface is provided by two vacuum cups 37 provided with support pins 38 intended for screwing into the threaded holes 39 and 40, made one above the other in the vertical portion of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand. The horizontal portion of the second T-shaped element 24 in the initial position is located outside the lower groove of the H-shaped part 15 of the stand.

[0056] The operation of the claimed holder for hairdryer is implemented as follows.

[0057] The stand is fastened to a surface that is accessible to the user in a specific environment. The handle of the hairdryer is located in the opening 8. The body 1 is tilted as desired by rotating it around the axis 4 and the required position of the body 1 in relation to the stand 9 is fixed by the screw 5. In order to rotate the body 1 in the desired direction, the T-shaped part 14 of the stand rotates around its axis, when the T-shaped part 14 of the stand is lowered, it is lowered on the H-shaped part 15 of the stand, being fixed by placing of mutual protrusions and grooves of the contacting with each other zigzag surfaces of both parts 14 and 15 of the stand. The height of the holder is adjusted by pressing the button 30 until it sinks beyond the hole 29, wherein the T-shaped part 14 of the stand under the action of the spring 31 is pushed outward to a distance corresponding to the distance between the holes 29 and 32. When button 30 reaches the hole 32 then it under the action of the spring 27 is pushed out of the cavity 26 into the interior of the hole 32, engaging with it. In this arrangement, the button 30 will prevent further longitudinal movement of the T-shaped elements 23 and 24. At the fully extended position of the T-shaped elements 23 and 24, the axle 25 connecting them is located outside, so that the T-shaped elements can rotate relative to each other to reach the desired position. After use, the hair dryer holder is removed from the surface on which it was mounted, and the fastening elements are unscrewed from the stand 9, which is rotated around the axis 4 and placed inside the body 1. The holder for hairdryer is stored in the folded state, in which it takes up minimal space. Thus, in the claimed holder for hairdryer the maximum possible variants for adjusting of a position of the holder are provided, allowing it to be adapted to any surfaces available to the user, dimensional conditions. The claimed holder is easy to use and ergonomic.
