- Thermostat 24 and timer switch 25 are set to suitable and predetermined values.
- the drying'of wigs consists of circulating warm dry air past and around the wigs to accelerate the vaporization of the water contained in the wig. Under normal condi tions, surface moisture on the wig is rapidly vaporized, but moisture at the roots of the wig hairs and in the nap of the wig is vaporized at a much slower rate, and large volumes of warm air are required to remove the lastmentioned moisture.
- Impeller 18 draws into blower housing 12 a small amount of cool, relatively dry ambient air through duct 9 and through perforations 15 in the housing of motor 13, to cool the said motor 13 and to heat the said incoming air, and also draws into blower housing 12 a large amount of cooled humid air from cabinet 1 through heater duct 19 and past heating element 22 therein.
- the air from both sources is mixed in blower housing 12 and is discharged by impeller 18 through discharge outlet 33 into the drying chamber 34 of cabinet 1, thence past wigs 30 to remove moisture therefrom.

- the heated mixed air is discharged from discharge outlet 33 into cabinet 1, it displaces the humid air therefrom, a small amount of the displaced air, substantially equal in quantity to the air aspirated into blower housing 12 through duct 9, being dis-charged from cabinet 1 through gap 4, the major amount of the displaced air passing upwardly through front passages 28 and 7 to be reheated in heater duct 19.
- the rate of flow of air aspirated through duct 9 preferably is proportioned to the rate of drying of wigs 30, it being remembered that moisture in the Wig nap and at the roots of the wig hairs is vaporized quite slowly.
- the optimum flow of makeup air, for a typical situation in which perhaps six wigs 30 are simultaneously dried in cabinet 1, expressed as a fraction of total air blown past wigs 30, is approximately 15%, with 85% of the cooled humid air in cabinet 1 being reheated and recycled, and with 15% of the cooled humid air in cabinet 1 being discharged therefrom through gap 4.
- the air displaced from cabinet 1 is discharged, as previously mentioned through gap 4 at the bottom of the said cabinet, away from opening 10 to avoid recycle thereof, and also not to inconvenience personnel near the said cabinet. It has been found, in this typical situation, that six wigs may be dried-with an expenditure of power less than that normally required in present beauty parlor drying arrangements for one wig; also, that the air conditioning or ventilating fan requirements of the beauty parlor are considerably reduced; further, that the herein described wig driers may be stacked one above the other to dry even more wigs with the same fioor space utilization.

APPARATUS FOR DRYING ARTICLES Filed Aug. 10, 1964 fig 5% I N VEN TOR Bernard Friedman BY ank- ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,298,113 APPARATUS FOR DRYING ARTICLES Bernard Friedman, 2730 Chew St., Allentown, Pa. 18104 Filed Aug. 10, 1964, Ser. No. 388,509 12 Claims. (Cl. 34219) This invention relates broadly to drying apparatus and, specifically, to apparatus for drying block-mounted wigs.
The present popularity of wigs among the female portion of our population is well known, and it is also well known that wigs frequently require washing, setting and drying for the best cosmetic effect. The ordinary beauty parlor has a number of hair driers, one for each seat which ordinarily accommodates a customer who has had her hair washed and set. With the tremendous rise in Wig use, and to provide the necessary wig care as abovementioned, these beauty parlors have simply placed a washed and set wig on a block in each of the above-mentioned seats, one wig under a hair drier. Consequently, a tremendous amount of space in said beauty parlors has been tied up for each wig being dried, as well as equipment. Moreover, large and excessive quantities of power have been expended in the drying of each wig.
The present invention provides a solution to the foregoing problems and has been quite successful in practice. Briefly, an insulated housing or wooden cabinet, which is adapted to hold a plurality of block-mounted wigs for simultaneous drying, as provided with a heater and with a motor-driven blower so arranged that the blower aspirates through the motor housing cool dry ambient air from the outside to cool the motor, which air, thus heated, is combined in the blower with recycled warm air and passed over the wigs to dry the same, at the same time a small fraction of the cooled humid air in the cabinet is discharged through a gap at the bottom of the cabinet between the cabinet and the doors.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide apparatus for drying block-mounted wigs.
A further object of this invention is to provide apparatus for drying a plurality of block-mounted wigs with a minimum expenditure of power and occupying minimum space.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide apparatus for efficiently drying a plurality of block-mounted wigs having a heater and a motor driven blower which aspirates cool dry ambient air through the motor housing to cool the motor and simultaneously to heat the said air for use in drying the said block-mounted wigs.
Other and further objects of this invention will become apparent during the course of the following description and by reference to the appended claims.
Referring now to the drawing, in which like numerals represent like parts in the several views:
FIGURE 1 represents a view in front elevation of the wig drier cabinet with the doors open to show the interior thereof.
FIGURE 2 represents an enlarged view in horizontal section taken along the line 22 of FIGURE 1, showing particularly the air duct, heater, motor and blower, with the doors of the cabinet closed.
FIGURE 3 represents a further enlarged View in vertical section taken along the line 33 of FIGURE 1, with the doors of the cabinet closed and with connecting wiring omitted for purposes of clarity.
FIGURE 4 represents a further enlarged detail in horizontal section taken along the line 4-4 of FIGURE 3, with some connecting wire omitted for purposes of clarity.
The wig drier is seen as comprising an insulated housing which may :be wooden cabinet 1, with doors 2 hinged thereto, and with gaskets 3 arranged along the tops and hinged sides of the said doors 2 as shown in FIGURE 1 so that, when the said doors 2 are closed, the sides and tops thereof are sealed againstcabinet 1. It will be noted that no gaskets need be providedat the unhinged sides of doors 2 if the said doors 2 are close fitting, which is customary in the cabinet making art.' It will also be noted that no gasket is provided at the bottoms of doors 2, and this is deliberately done so as to leave slot or gap 4 between the bottoms of said doors 2 and cabinet 1 for reasons which will hereinafter appear. Handles 5 are provided on doors 2 to facilitate the opening and closing thereof.
Wig-block supporting shelf 27 is mounted in cabinet 1, extending from side to side thereof as shown in FIGURE 1, but not from front to back completely, as shown in FIGURE 3, there being a front passage 28 between shelf 27 and the front of cabinet 1, and a rear passage 29 between shelf 27 and the rear of cabinet 1. While only one wig-block supporting shelf 27 has been shown, it will be understood that several such shelves 27 may be installed in cabinet 1.
The operation of the wig drier will now be described.
The drying'of wigs consists of circulating warm dry air past and around the wigs to accelerate the vaporization of the water contained in the wig. Under normal condi tions, surface moisture on the wig is rapidly vaporized, but moisture at the roots of the wig hairs and in the nap of the wig is vaporized at a much slower rate, and large volumes of warm air are required to remove the lastmentioned moisture.
The rate of flow of air aspirated through duct 9 preferably is proportioned to the rate of drying of wigs 30, it being remembered that moisture in the Wig nap and at the roots of the wig hairs is vaporized quite slowly. The optimum flow of makeup air, for a typical situation in which perhaps six wigs 30 are simultaneously dried in cabinet 1, expressed as a fraction of total air blown past wigs 30, is approximately 15%, with 85% of the cooled humid air in cabinet 1 being reheated and recycled, and with 15% of the cooled humid air in cabinet 1 being discharged therefrom through gap 4.
In the above-mentioned typical situation, less than 15% makeup air would mean that the wigs are not being dried as rapidly as they might be, and more than 15% makeup air would mean that, although the wigs are being dried at a maximum rate, excessive power is being consumed to heat the air in heater duct 19. The 85% of recycled relatively cool humid air, which is still at a temperature considerably higher than the 15% makeup air, serves primarily to maintain a high temperature uniformly throughout cabinet 1, thereby to reduce power consumption in the drying of the wigs therein.
The air displaced from cabinet 1 is discharged, as previously mentioned through gap 4 at the bottom of the said cabinet, away from opening 10 to avoid recycle thereof, and also not to inconvenience personnel near the said cabinet. It has been found, in this typical situation, that six wigs may be dried-with an expenditure of power less than that normally required in present beauty parlor drying arrangements for one wig; also, that the air conditioning or ventilating fan requirements of the beauty parlor are considerably reduced; further, that the herein described wig driers may be stacked one above the other to dry even more wigs with the same fioor space utilization.
While I have shown the best embodiment of my invention now known to me, I do not wish to be limited to the exact structure shown and described herein, but may use such modifications, substitutes or equivalents as are embraced within the scope of the specification or as pointed out in the attached claims.
