Abstract
A hair dryer having a quartz glass tube heater to produce radiant heat has a shock mount sub-assembly to resist breakage of the tube when the hairdryer is subjected to drop tests or other selected concussions. The shock mounts include spring members which are flexible and resilient relative to the housing and furthermore have resilient engagement with the tube to allow slight but controlled movement of the tube without breakage regardless of the direction of impact or orientation of the hairdryer when dropped. An internal blower for creating an air flow through this quartz tube heater hairdryer may be included as a safety feature to prevent overheating and to provide nominal air flow for conventional type drying.
