Air-moving appliance for drying or styling hair

An air-moving appliance for styling hair, comprising a housing having an air inlet opening and an air moving means and an air outlet opening, a supporting structure, the supporting structure supporting a plurality of hair pickup means and being provided with a plurality of apertures fluidly communicable with the air outlet opening, the supporting structure being attachable to the housing at the air outlet opening, and a diaphragm device in fluid communication with the air outlet opening, the diaphragm device comprising at least two diaphragm elements movable independently of each other and in operative engagement with each other by a spring means, wherein the at least two diaphragm elements are in operative engagement with the supporting structure, and wherein the supporting structure is displaceable relative to the housing by a force exerted on the hair pickup means in engagement with hair of a user, whereby when the supporting structure is displaced a first portion of the apertures of the supporting structure is at least partially prevented by at least one of the at least two diaphragm elements from fluid communication with the air outlet opening and a second portion of the apertures is in fluid communication with the air outlet opening.

An implement for styling hair for an air-moving appliance having a housing and an air outlet opening, the implement comprising a supporting structure attachable to the housing at the air outlet opening, the supporting structure supporting a plurality of hair pickup means and being provided with a plurality of apertures fluidly communicable with the air outlet opening, and a diaphragm device provided on the supporting structure in operative engagement with the supporting structure, wherein the supporting structure is displaceable relative to the diaphragm device by a force exerted on the hair pickup means engaged with hair of a user in use, whereby when the supporting structure is displaced a first portion of the apertures is at least partially prevented by the diaphragm device from fluid communication and a second portion of the apertures is not substantially prevented from fluid communication.
