  • Publication number: 20240081506
    Abstract: A haircare appliance having an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet and an attachment for a haircare appliance, the attachment including an air inlet, an air outlet. A curved surface adjacent to and downstream of the air outlet. The haircare appliance or the attachment has a curved surface adjacent to and downstream of the air outlet. The haircare appliance or the attachment is configured such that airflow exiting the air outlet generates a first force to attract hair toward the curved surface, and a second force to push hair away from the curved surface.

  • Publication number: 20240065404
    Abstract: A haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The air outlet has a first aperture at least partially defined by a first movable member, and a second aperture at least partially defined by a second movable member. Each of the first and second movable members are movable to vary a cross-sectional area of the respective first and second apertures, and movement of the first movable member causes movement of second movable member.

  • Publication number: 20240065407
    Abstract: A haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The haircare appliance has a fixed body defining the air outlet, and a rotatable member rotatable relative to the fixed body. The air outlet has a first aperture located on a first side of the fixed body, and a second aperture located on a second side of the fixed body opposite to the first side of the fixed body. The rotatable member is rotatable from a first configuration in which the rotatable member permits airflow through the first aperture and blocks airflow through the second aperture, to a second configuration in which the rotatable member permits airflow through the second aperture and blocks airflow through the first aperture. The rotatable member is located internally of the fixed member.

  • Publication number: 20240065410
    Abstract: A haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The air outlet has a first aperture located on a first side of the haircare appliance, and a second aperture located on a second side of the haircare appliance opposite to the first side of the haircare appliance. The haircare appliance is configured such that engagement of the first side of the haircare appliance with hair increases airflow through the first aperture and decreases airflow through the second aperture, and engagement of the second side of the haircare appliance with hair increases airflow through the second aperture and decreases airflow through the first aperture.
