Electrically operated hand held hair drier

摘要

The electrically operated hand-held hair-drier (10) has a housing (11) to accommodate a heater, an electric motor to drive an impeller, an inlet grid (13) at one end for indrawn air and an outlet grid (15) at the other end (49) through which heated air can emerge. An air guide nozzle (14) is provided in the form of a diffuser which by way of an articulation member (39) is rotatably connected to the other end (49) of the housing (11) of the hair drier (10).The articulation member (39) is a one piece hollow body having an inner end connectable to the other end (49) of the housing (11) of the hair drier (10) and an outer end connectable to an inner end of the diffuser (30) by catch or snap action device and has an outer end face preferably angled with respect to an inner end face and opposite side walls (40 and 41) of different lengths so that rotation of the diffuser (14) with respect to the articulation member (39) causes angulation of the diffuser (14) with respect to the hair drier housing (11).
