The first end of the appliance may be substantially circular. The fluid flow path may have a fluid inlet that may be annular at the first end. The fluid inlet may be defined by the first wall and an inner wall extending around and at least partially along the first wall. The inner wall may be substantially equidistant from the first wall around the fluid inlet. A hair care appliance comprises such as attachment.

Abstract: A hand dryer comprising a first jetting nozzle comprising a first duct in fluid communication with a first slot which forms a first nozzle outlet and a second jetting nozzle, disposed opposite the first jetting nozzle, comprising a second duct in fluid communication with a second slot which forms a second nozzle outlet. The first and second slots extend transversely with respect to the hand dryer. At least a portion of each of the first and second slots is curved such that the distance between the slots varies in the longitudinal direction of at least one of the slots. The hand dryer further comprises a blower which blows air through the jetting nozzles to produce respective air jets.

Abstract: A hair care appliance comprising a body having an outer wall, a chassis extending within the outer wall, wherein the chassis comprises a locking feature and the body comprises an engaging feature adapted to retain the chassis in position within the outer wall when the locking feature is rotated with respect to the engaging feature. The outer wall may comprise an inner surface and the engaging feature extends radially inwards from the inner surface. The engaging feature may comprise a rib that extends from an inner surface of the outer wall. The engaging feature may extend at least partially around the inner surface of the outer wall. The engaging feature may comprise a pair of engaging features which may be radially spaced apart. The locking feature may comprise a locking rib which may extend radially from the chassis towards the outer wall.

Abstract: A hair care appliance comprising a body having an outer wall, an inner wall and a gasket located between the outer wall and the inner wall, wherein the gasket comprises a seal extending between the outer wall and the inner wall and a centralising feature extending from the inner wall towards the outer wall. The centralising feature may comprise a convex surface extending from the inner wall towards the outer wall. The convex surface may be hemispherical. The outer wall comprises an inner surface and the inner surface may comprise a cooperating centralising feature which may be a number of discrete points of contact radially disposed around the inner surface. The gasket may comprise a further seal extending around an upstream end of the gasket.

Abstract: A diffuser includes a plastics baffle which has an air inlet end, an air outlet end and an outwardly tapering wall extending between the air inlet end and the air outlet end, and which defines a diffusing air chamber. A plurality of circumferentially spaced weld ribs is upstanding from the air outlet end. A plastics grille has a plurality of air outlets and an annular shelf to which the weld ribs of the baffle are ultrasonically welded.

Abstract: A diffuser includes an air inlet for receiving an airflow from a hair dryer, a grille having a plurality of air outlets for emitting a first part of the airflow from the diffuser, and a plurality of projections upstanding from the grille for contacting the hair of a user and for emitting a second part of the airflow. Each of the projections has a respective air outlet located in an end portion of the projection which is remote from the grille. The projections are divided into a first set of projections and a second set of projections arranged about the first set of projections. The air outlets of the first set of projections are arranged to emit air towards the second set of projections, and the air outlets of the second set of projections face are arranged to emit air towards the first set of projections.

Abstract: A diffuser includes an air inlet for receiving an airflow from a hair dryer, and a grille with a plurality of air outlets for emitting at least part of the airflow. Each of the air outlets has substantially the same shape. The plurality of air outlets includes a first set of air outlets located in a first region of the grille, and a second set of air outlets located in a second region of the grille. The grille further includes at least one third region, located between the first region and the second region, which is substantially devoid of these air outlets.

Abstract: A diffuser includes an air inlet for receiving an airflow from a hair dryer, an external grille having a plurality of air outlets for emitting at least part of the airflow from the diffuser, and an internal grille located between the air inlet and the external grille.

Abstract: A diffuser includes a baffle having an air inlet end, an air outlet end and an outwardly tapering wall extending between the air inlet end and the air outlet end, and which defines a diffusing air chamber, and a grille connected to the baffle, the grille including a plurality of air outlets. The air inlet end of the baffle includes an air inlet and a drainage channel, spaced from the air inlet, for receiving water which has entered the air chamber through the air outlets. The drainage channel has drainage holes for draining water away from the air inlet.

Abstract: A diffuser includes an air inlet for receiving an airflow from a hair dryer, a grille having a plurality of air outlets for emitting at least part of the airflow from the diffuser, a baffle having an outwardly tapering wall which defines a diffusing air chamber through which the airflow passes between the air inlet and the air outlets, and an external wall which surrounds the wall of the baffle to define a second air chamber therebetween. The second air chamber has a plurality of ports in fluid communication with the ambient atmosphere.

Abstract: An attachment for a hand held appliance, the attachment including a first wall wherein the first wall defines a fluid flow path through the attachment extending from an annular first fluid inlet into the attachment to a first fluid outlet, wherein the fluid flow path has a cross-sectional area that expands from the first fluid inlet towards the first fluid outlet. The attachment may include a first part and a second part and the first part extends from the first fluid inlet towards the first fluid outlet and the second part extends from the first fluid outlet towards the first fluid inlet and wherein the cross-sectional area expands within the first part. The first part may be conical in shape. The second part may be elliptical or generally rectangular in shape.
