Abstract: A hair styling device (1) comprises a hinge jaw assembly (10) including a first jaw (11) having a first plate (12) and a second jaw (13) having a second plate (14). In an opened position of the jaw assembly (10), hair can be received between the plates (12, 14), and in a closed position of the jaw assembly (10), hair can be hair styled between the plates (12, 14). The hair styling device (1) further comprises a heater arrangement (20) configured to heat at least one of the plates (12, 14), and a hair wetness control mechanism (30) configured to supply a mist of liquid between the plates (12, 14) in the closed position of the jaw assembly (10), wherein the hair wetness control mechanism (30) includes a two-fluid nozzle (31), and an air pump (33) and a liquid tank (35) connected to respective inlets of the two-fluid nozzle (31).

Abstract: A hair care device comprises a body having an output to supply heated air, and at least two different attachments that can be attached to the output of the body. In accordance with the invention, the body comprises a detector for detecting whether one of the attachments is attached to the body, and if so, which attachment is attached to the body, to provide a detection result, and a controller for controlling the supply of heated air in dependence on the detection result. According to the invention, each attachment has at least one magnet at predefined positions at an attachment contact area of the attachment for contacting the body, the at least two attachments having mutually different magnet configurations, and the detector comprises a plurality of Hall effect sensors at predefined positions (?) at a body contact area for contacting a selected one of the attachments.

Abstract: An air outlet grill for use on a hair care device comprises a plurality of concentric and tilted flow guide surfaces (2), a cross section of the flow guide surfaces (2) having a curved shape that diverges in an air flow direction. Preferably, tilt angles between the flow guide surfaces (2) are designed such that an air inlet area of the air outlet grill is larger than an air outlet area of the air outlet grill, so as to increase air speed. Preferably, a middle flow guide surface has a smaller height compared to at least one other flow guide surface, so as to increase an area for air to pass through at a middle part of the air outlet grill. Preferably, a leading edge of at least one of the flow guide surfaces (2) is tangent to the air flow direction while a trailing edge of the flow guide surfaces diverges from the air flow direction.

Abstract: An adjustable fan assembly has a fan mount with an arcuate portion and a support member. The support member is moveable along the length of the arcuate portion of the fan mount to position the air flow from a fan mounted on the fan mount. The support member may also retract for compact storage.
