Benefits of technology

[0007]According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an air diffuser comprising a main body and an air diffusing baffle for hair styling, wherein said main body comprises an upstream end with an air inlet and coupling means for attaching to a hair blower, and a downstream end with an air outlet for delivery of air to a user, and said air diffusing baffle comprises an air baffling surface; characterised in that said air baffling surface is movable along the direction of air flow from said air inlet to provide variable adjustability of an effective level of baffling to an air stream from said air inlet portion.
[0022]Advantageously, said main body, said intermediate air diffusing baffle and said air diffusing baffle are stackable with respect to each other. By having stackable members, the diffuser can be fully collapsed into a more compact size for more efficient storage and transport.

Problems solved by technology

Such conventional air diffusers are bulky due to the need of a large diffusing volume and the need to have a transversal baffle spreading across the downstream outlet.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, there is shown a preferred embodiment of an air diffuser 100 of this invention. The air diffuser 100 comprises a main body 120 and a movable diffuser assembly 140. The main body defines an air inlet at its upstream end, an air outlet at its downstream end and comprises an air diffusing housing 124 which inter-connects the air inlet and the air outlet. In addition, the main body also defines a coupling means 122 for coupling the air inlet to a hot air source, for example, a hair blower.

[0035]The air diffusing housing 124 comprises a peripheral wall 130 which defines a downstream air-outlet aperture 132 and an upstream air inlet aperture 134 of the air diffuser. The peripheral wall 130 forms a hollow air diffusing housing 124 which defines an air diffusing space so that air coming in from the air inlet and moving towards the air outlet will pass through the air diffusing space and will be spread before leaving the diffuser 100. In the instant example, ...

Abstract

An air diffuser includes a main body and an air diffusing baffle for hair styling. The main body has an upstream end with an air inlet and a coupler for attachment to a hair blower, and a downstream end with an air outlet for delivery of air to a user. The air diffusing baffle has an air baffling surface. The air baffling surface is movable relative to the main body for varying effective level of baffling to an air stream from the air inlet portion.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to hair styling apparatus and, more particularly, to air diffusers for hair styling applications. More specifically, but not exclusively, this invention relates to an air diffuser attachment for use with a hair blower.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Air diffusers for hair styling applications are well known and are typically available in the form of a hair styling attachment comprising a coupling portion for attaching to the outlet of an air blower and a down-stream end for delivery of diffused air towards the scalp of a user. Examples of known air diffusers are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,060,398, U.S. Pat. No. 5,488,783 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,638,608. In general, air diffusers are adapted for spreading a jet of concentrated air stream from a source hair blower and / or for slowing down the velocity of an air stream before delivery to a user.[0003]Conventional air diffusers typically comprise an upstream air inlet and a ...
