Abstract
A portable hair dryer of the hard hat type having the general configuration of an articulated, collapsible 'Z.' The head assembly and a base are pivotally mounted at the ends of a head mounting assembly on parallel, horizontal axes so that the base and the head assembly can be pivoted to nest the base and head mounting assembly within the head assembly. Electrical cord retaining means are provided on that portion of the head mounting assembly, the middle element in the hinged 'Z,' which is exposed to the head space within the head assembly when the dryer is in the collapsed or nested storage condition, and the cord is introduced to the dryer through that same portion. The cord can therefore be stored out of the way within the head assembly, without interfering with pivot hinges, or with moving surfaces which are closely spaced apart during nesting.
