Abstract
A nozzle attachment for a hair dryer has a cylindrical element for connecting a flow-directing member to the nozzle of a hair dryer. The flow-directing member deflects the air coming from the hair dryer by a certain acute angle. The flow-directing member is rotatable relative to the cylindrical element. Vanes are provided within the flow-directing member. They are slanted to the direction of air flow from the hair dryer, so that impingement of air on the vanes causes the flow-directing member to rotate thus providing air flow having a continually varying flow direction.
Claims11
A nozzle attachment for a hair dryer comprising:
- a flow-directing member with an inlet and an outlet for air, said flow-directing member rotatable about an axis of rotation;
- means for driving said flow-directing member in rotation, said means for driving connected to said flow-directing member;
- and
- said outlet deflecting the air entering through said inlet at an acute angle to said axis of rotation of said flow-directing member, wherein said flow-directing member comprises an angled pipe section and wherein said outlet is provided at a free end of said angled pipe section and is slanted relative to a direction of flow of air entering through said inlet.
