Abstract: A hand held appliance includes a housing having an outer wall, an inner structure disposed within the outer wall, and an end wall that extends across the outer wall and is attached to the housing via the inner structure, wherein an inner portion of the end wall defines a central aperture through the end wall and comprises a protrusion that engages with a cooperating groove of the inner structure.

Abstract: A hand held appliance including a handle having an outer wall, an inner structure disposed within the outer wall and an end wall extending across the outer wall wherein the end wall is attached to the handle via the inner structure and the end wall extends away from the outer wall. The handle may have a longitudinal axis along which the outer wall extends; the end wall may extend away from the outer wall towards the longitudinal axis. The end wall may extend from the outer wall towards the longitudinal axis as the end wall extends away from the outer wall and may taper as it extends away from the outer wall. The end wall may be frustoconical in shape. The end wall may include at least one first attachment member that extends from the end wall to engage with one or more cooperating attachment members of the inner structure.

Abstract: A hand held appliance includes a handle having an outer wall and an inner wall, a motor and a heater both housed within the inner wall, a wiring assembly including a power supply for the motor and a power supply for the heater wherein the power supply for the motor is substantially diametrically opposite the power supply for the heater within the handle. The power supply for the motor may be substantially diametrically opposite the power supply for the heater when the wiring assembly extends passed the motor. When the wiring assembly extends passed the motor, the wiring assembly may be located between the outer wall and the inner wall. The inner wall may include at least one channel extending along a radially outer surface for housing the wiring assembly and each of the at least one channel may house a wire of the wiring assembly.

Abstract: A hand held appliance includes a handle and a user interface comprising at least one user operated button wherein the handle has an elliptical cross section having a major axis and a minor axis wherein the user interface is provided on a first vertex of the major axis and the handle additionally comprises a further user operated button and the further user operated button is provided on a second vertex of the major axis. The appliance may further include an attachment for connection to the handle wherein the further user operated button operates a mechanism for removing the attachment from the handle. The user interface may include three user operated buttons which may be arranged in a triangular configuration, each of the three user operated buttons may be disposed at a vertex of the triangle.

Abstract: A handheld appliance having a body and an attachment, the body including an outer tube and fluid flow path extending from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet within the outer tube and a printed circuit board (PCB) arranged within the fluid flow path wherein, the PCB is housed within a housing. The body may further include an inner wall and the inner wall provides the housing for the PCB and the fluid flow path may extend around the housing. The housing may be generally rectangular and may extend across an internal radius of the outer tube. The fluid flow path may extend around both sides of the housing. The housing may include a heat sink which may be in contact with the fluid flow path on one side and with components on the PCB on the other side.

Abstract: An attachment for a hair care appliance includes an elongate body having a first end and a second end, a fluid inlet at the first end, a fluid outlet and a fluid flow path extending between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet wherein the diameter at the first end is larger than the diameter at the second end and the fluid outlet extends from the first end to the second end. The elongate body may converge from the first end towards the second end. The elongate body may gradually reduce in diameter from the first end. The reduction in diameter may extend along a portion of the elongate body. There may be a gradual transition from the diameter at the first end to the diameter at the second end.

Abstract: An attachment including an air inlet for receiving airflow from a hair styling apparatus, at least one air outlet, a chamber for conveying air from the air inlet to said at least one air outlet, wherein the air inlet is located at one end of the chamber, and the at least one air outlet extends along the length of the chamber and the cross-sectional area of the chamber decreases in size from the air inlet along the length of the at least one air outlet.
