Abstract
An ironing accessory is adapted to be releasably carried on the discharge nozzle of a standard hair blow dryer and includes a flat plate having multiple openings discharging hot air from the nozzle. A cylindrical collar carried on the plate insertably receives the nozzle, and resilient grippers are disposed in a radial arrangement on the inside of the collar for releasably attaching with the nozzle. A cam arrangement is carried on the inside surface of a retaining ring and, rotatable therewith, advances the grippers into engagement with the nozzle as a ratchet mechanism retains the grippers in position as the ring is rotated. Resilient pushbuttons disconnect the ratchet mechanism to release the grippers for nozzle removal.
