Abstract: A hair styling and drying apparatus has a pair of pivotally connected arms, styling surfaces on the arms, air suction and discharge orifices in the styling surfaces, and a blower for blowing air through the air orifices and recycling air between the arms. At least some suction orifices of one styling surface can align with at least some discharge orifices of the other styling surface. The blowers blow air out the discharge orifices and suck air into the suction orifices, thereby recycling much of the blown air. The apparatus can include heaters for heating the blown air and for heating the styling surfaces.

Abstract: A hair styling tool 20 includes a body 22, a cylinder 24 extending from the body, the cylinder rotatable relative to the body, a motor 39 for rotating the cylinder, a heater 1324 to heat the cylinder, and a styling arm pivotally attached to the body. The hair styling tool may have a generally clam shell configuration, wherein the styling arm 151 is movable between an open position in which the styling arm is distant the cylinder and a closed position in which the styling arm is proximate to the cylinder, such as contacting the cylinder. The styling arm may also include a brush head 26 with fixed or retractable bristles and/or a smoothing plate 108.

Abstract: A diffuser for use with a hair dryer has a body that fits over the outlet of the hair dryer. The diffuser has one or more diffusing features, namely excess mesh, a non-symmetrical rotor, a perforated plate, and diffusion projections extending toward a discharge opening of the diffuser, each projection having a bore with a side orifice for directing air output by the hair dryer radially.

Abstract: A hair styling tool having a plurality of bristles and one or more movable members extending radially outward from the core and movable between opposing positions is provided. The movable members move between a retracted position where the divider is fitted between and even with or slightly above or slightly below the bristles to engage the hair and an extended position where the divider is moved out beyond the bristles to disengage the hair from the bristles. The hair styling tool having the movable member which engages and disengages the hair with the bristles minimizes tangling of the hair while brushing. The hair styling tool may be a rotating brush optionally equipped with a motor.

Abstract: The paint tray liner apparatus provides removable fit to an existing paint tray, thereby providing a disposable liner. Flexible sides are collapsible and the liner bottom relatively rigid. The collapsible sides provide for reduced space storage of the apparatus, whether prior to use or after when discarded. The collapsible sides each has an inner panel spaced apart from an outer panel. Each inner and outer panel is connected by the continuous shelf. The side panels thereby fit the sides of a paint tray, with the apparatus tray bottom against a paint tray bottom.

Abstract: A rotatable hair brush includes a core with a plurality of series of holes, each series displaced in an annular direction from the other series. Bristles are disposed in the holes. Dividers are disposed on the core between successive series of bristles. A support member holds the dividers. Detents on the support member, and on an end cap at the other end, and matching detents on the core retain the core fixedly relative to the dividers. A handle extending from the other end of the core and the dividers holds a battery and a motor for rotating the core and the dividers. The end cap and the portion of the handle adjacent the end cap are shaped to provide a smooth continuous surface (preferably concave) for preventing a user's hair from becoming entangled during the brush operation. An end cap covering the support member has a smooth continuous surface to prevent the user's hair from becoming entangled during the brush operation.
