Embodiment Construction

[0061] Figure 9An example of a hot air profiling device 10 is shown together with an accessory 20 . In order to enable the user to create different hairstyles and to give the appliance multiple functions, the attachment 20 is detachable and can be replaced with an alternative attachment. Additionally, the accessory 20 can be removed for easier storage of the appliance when not in use. The hot air styling device 10 includes a body 210 having an outer wall that acts as a handle, a fluid inlet 230 at a first end 210 a through which fluid flows into the attachment 20 , from the attachment 20 to the fluid outlet 26 . An array of holes 232 extends around and partially along the handle 220 at the handle's fluid inlet 230 . Inside (not shown) is the fan unit including the fan and motor. In use, the motor drives the fan and air is drawn through the aperture 232 of the fluid inlet 230 along the fluid flow path extending within the body 210 . The fluid is optionally heated by a heat...

Abstract

A handheld appliance having a body and an attachment, the body includes an attachment mechanism having a slot and an actuator, the attachment including a protrusion adapted to engage with the slot wherein the actuator has a first position and a second position and the actuator is moved from the first position towards the second position as the protrusion engages with the slot. In the first position the actuator may at least partially obscures the slot. The actuator includes a surface which may interact with the protrusion when the protrusion engages with the slot. The surface may be adapted toat least partially define the slot at or near the second position. When the protrusion is at a pre-determined position within the slot, the actuator may return towards the first position. The actuator may be biased into the first position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hand-held appliance, and more particularly to a hair care appliance, such as a heat styling appliance. Background technique [0002] In conventional heat styling appliances, air is drawn into the inlet by a fan unit and directed towards the hair through the outlet. Often, an appliance is offered with different attachments, each with a different outlet and therefore a different function, such as drying, curling or volumizing. Depending on the desired styling, the air may or may not be heated. The attachment may include bristles on which the hair is coiled and held for styling. [0003] Appliances and accessories are provided with attachment mechanisms which may or may not include interlocks for preventing activation of the appliance without the accessory being provided. One problem is to provide a firm connection between the attachment and the appliance for when the hair is under tension and easy removal of the atta...
