Abstract
Flat and compact hair dryer of a type having a housing and an electric cord which can be wound in an outer peripheral groove of the housing. The cord is connected to a switch by means of a bushing rotatably pivoted within the housing so that the inner end of the bushing prevents the switch from moving to its ON-position from an OFF-position when the cord is wound around the housing. When the switch is in the ON-position, the bushing is prevented from rotating to a retracted position, thereby providing an indication that the switch is on.
