Abstract
A rotating outlet for hair dryers is provided causing air exiting from the hair dryer to travel in a circular pattern. A tubular member fits the outlet end of the hair dryer, and has a spider across its outlet end which carries a centrally located pivot. A rotating member is mounted on this pivot and carries vanes cutting across the air stream. The vanes cause the rotating member to rotate. The outlet of the rotating member is at an angle to the axis of the air flow leaving the dryer, and, so, as it rotates, causes the air to move in a circular pattern. This pattern duplicates the pattern provided by the user when she rotates the dryer itself.
