Abstract: Apparatus for hairstyling by means of steam, having a winding part (1) which extends longitudinally for winding the hair around, which winding part (1) comprises a heating element (2) which extends longitudinally, an evaporation channel (5) which extends longitudinally and has an exit (40) and is in thermal contact with the heating element (2), a steam outlet (10) which extends longitudinally, and a distribution space which connects the exit (40) of the evaporation channel (5) to the steam outlet (10). The distribution space is formed by a number of longitudinally extending distribution channels (6) which are made of a thermally conducting material and are in close thermal contact with the heating element (2) along substantially their entire length. In this way, dripping of water from the apparatus during use in varying positions is prevented.

Abstract: In a device (1) for applying an additive to hair comprising a longitudinally extending base part (2) for making contact with the hair during operation, which base part (2) comprises a distribution system (3) for additive, which distribution system (3) has an inlet (4) which is connected to an additive dispenser (5) and has outlets (6) for applying the additive to the hair during operation, a flowpath (7,7′) is present between the inlet (4) and each outlet (6), which flow path comprises at least one ramification point (8), said flow paths (7,7′) having a substantially identical flow resistance measured from the inlet (4) to each outlet (6). Additive originating from the inlet (4) during operation and following the flow paths (7,7′) to each outlet (6) will reach all outlets (6) practically simultaneously, and the additive flow-rate through each outlet is substantially the same.

Abstract: A device (1) for applying an additive to hair, comprising a longitudinally extending base part (2) for making contact with the hair during operation, which base part (2) comprises a distribution system (3) for additive. The distribution system (3) has an inlet (4) which is connected to an additive dispenser (5), and which distribution system has outlets (6) for applying the additive to the hair during operation. The distribution system (3) comprises a carrier element (10) with distribution channels (7) which is covered by a covering element (11), while said carrier element (10) and covering element (11) are detachably connected to each other. Detaching of the carrier element (10) from the covering element (11) uncovers the carrier element (10) with the distribution channels (7) so that the distribution system (3) becomes accessible for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1) comprising a sealing device (4) which has an outlet opening, a valve (8), and a seat (7) for cooperation with said valve (8), the valve (8) being movable by means of a fluid conduit (12) with respect to the seat (7) from a first position (I), in which the valve (8) rests against the seat (7) so as to close the container (1), into a second position (II), in which the valve (8) is free from the seat (7) so as to open the container, wherein resilient means (18) are provided for exerting a force on the valve (8) in at least a direction from the second position (II) to the first position (I) of the valve (8). The resilient means (18) close the valve (8) again by means of a resilient force in a direction from the second position to the first position of the valve (8). The container can thus be sealed in a reliable and efficient manner.

Consequently, the distribution system (3) can be kept clean in an easy manner and a good hairstyling performance of the device (1) is safeguarded.

Abstract: A blender is provided which comprises a blender container (3) having an insulated container wall (12) formed by an outer wall (13) and, spaced therefrom, an inner wall (14), between which an insulating space (15) is formed. This enables ingredients in the container to be kept cool for a longer time. Moreover, the insulation relative to the bottom is improved by placing the blender container on a base (16).

Abstract: A toaster having a mechanism for latching the slice support and a thermo-sensitive element for unlatching the slice support after a specific toasting time. A problem associated with such a toaster is that the toasting time is influenced by friction between the levers of the mechanism. A solution for this is to couple the levers to each other by means of an arm, so that a toggle mechanism is obtained.
