Abstract: An attachment for a hand held appliance comprising a body having a wall, a fluid inlet at one end of the wall and a fluid outlet through the wall wherein the fluid outlet comprises at least one slot extending along the wall and wherein the at least one slot is formed by an overlap of a first end of the wall and a second end of the wall. The wall may be formed from at least two plates. A first one of the at least two plates may comprise the first end of the wall and a second one may comprise the second end of the wall. The first of the at least two plates may define a radially inner surface of the slot. The second one of the at least two plates may define a radially outer surface of the slot. The slot may be tangential to the wall.

Abstract: An attachment for a hand held appliance comprising an inlet; an outlet; and a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the outlet comprises at least one slot extending from near an inlet end of the attachment towards a distal end of the attachment and wherein the outlet is at least partially defined by an external surface of the attachment wherein fluid emitted from the outlet is blown along the external surface. The slot extends substantially along the length of the attachment. The outlet comprises slots radially spaced around the attachment. Fluid emitted from the outlet flows around the external surface of the attachment, tangentially to the external surface, and is attracted to the surface of the attachment. The attachment has a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the distal end and the at least one slot may be parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An attachment for a hand held appliance comprising a body having a first wall; a second wall; and a slot formed along at least part of the length of the attachment, wherein the slot is defined on a first side by a surface of the first wall and on a second side by a surface of the second wall. The first wall may be generally tubular. The surface of the second wall may be substantially linear. The second wall may extend out from the first wall. The second wall may be moveable or rotatable relative to the first wall. The second wall may be generally triangular. The second wall may have a first indexed position defining a first slot position. The second wall may have a second indexed position defining a second slot position. An indexed position may be defined by a detent mechanism.

Abstract: An attachment including a casing having an air inlet for receiving airflow from a hair styling apparatus, a hair engaging member supported by the casing, a first airflow outlet between the casing and the hair engaging member, a second airflow outlet, spaced from the first airflow outlet, between the casing and the hair engaging member and internal airflow directing means positioned within the casing to direct air towards the first airflow outlet and the second airflow outlet.

Abstract: An arrangement incorporates a sink and a hand dryer which extends over the sink. The hand dryer is of the type which uses an air-knife mechanically to wipe the water from the user's hands. The hand dryer comprising two elongate air-knife discharge outlets—each outlet discharging a respective air-knife forwardly onto a hand of the user—the air-knife outlets being arranged side-by-side over the basin of the sink. Each air-knife outlet extends along a part of the hand dryer which is swept back at an angle such that the inboard end the air-knife outlet is in front of the outboard end of the air-knife outlet.
