A hair dryer having a static atomizing device, which has the capability of generating an electrostatically charged microparticle mist of 3 nm to 100 nm. The static atomizing device has a pair of an atomizing electrode and a counter electrode, a tank for storing a liquid such as water; a liquid transport member for transport water from the tank to the atomizing electrode according to capillary phenomenon, and a voltage applying unit. When a high voltage is applied between the atomizing electrode and the counter electrode, while water being supplied to the atomizing electrode through the liquid transport member, the electrostatically charged microparticle mist is generated.

In a hair dryer with a brush emitting minus ion to a hair in brushing, effect of the minus ion for hair treatment is increased. The hair dryer is comprised of a main body and a brush unit detachably engaged with an air outlet of the main body. A plurality of ion outlets is provided on a housing of the main body and disposed outside of the air outlet so that minus ion is emitted toward the brush unit. Since the minus ion emitted from the ion outlet is not shielded by the hair in brushing, the minus ion can be sprayed widely to the hair, and not directly heated by hot air flow blowing from the brush unit.

In an electrostatic atomizing hairdryer, electrostatically atomized mist generated in an electrostatic atomizing unit is effectively scattered into airflow emitted from a main body of the hairdryer so that the mist can be sprayed to hair uniformly and a time necessary for treatment of hair can be shortened. A tank constituting the electrostatic atomizing unit is detachably provided on a portion in the vicinity of an outer periphery of the main body, and an electrode unit for generating the mist is provided in a path of airflow sucked in an inside of the main body so as to be insulated from heat of a heating unit by an adiabator. A mist emitting opening from which the mist is emitted is disposed on a plane substantially the same as and at substantially the center of an air exit opening of the main body. Thereby, the mist emitted from the mist emitting opening is effectively scattered into the airflow emitted from the air exit opening.

A hair dryer is provided, which includes a housing having an air outlet, fan disposed in the housing, a pair of air flow channels extending toward the air outlet in the housing, a partition wall for separating the channels from each other, heater disposed in only one of the channels, and a minus-ion generator disposed in the other channel. The partition wall is formed by a tubular member, which is disposed in the housing such that one of the channels is provided by an inner space of the tubular member, and the other channel is provided by a clearance between an inner surface of the housing and an outer surface of the tubular member. Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously provide a cold air flow with minus ions and a hot air flow from the air outlet, and thereby efficiently perform hair styling.

A plug socket is disclosed which is easy to assemble and which will visually display the working condition of a load connected thereto. The plug socket includes a body having three compartments disposed in a U-shape. In one of the compartments a first blade clip spring member is placed having an integral contact and terminal. In another of the compartments a second blade clip spring member is placed having a contact. A terminal is associated with but separate from the second blade clip spring member in the second compartment. A current transformer is placed in the third compartment. The secondary leads of the current transformer are connected to an electrically luminous element. The primary leads are connected separately to the contact of the second blade clip spring member in the second compartment and its associated terminal, respectively.
