  • FIG. 12 shows a sectional view along line L-L of FIG. 11 .
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first appliance 10 , the appliance has a body 12 having a fluid inlet end 12 a and a fluid outlet end 12 b and a duct or handle 14 which is disposed substantially perpendicular to the body 12 .
  • the body 12 has an outer wall 112 and an inner wall 18 .
  • the inner wall 18 contains a space or region 20 which is central to the body 12 .
  • the annular region 30 between the inner 18 and outer 112 walls defines a primary fluid flow path through the appliance 10 .
  • the tubular housing 18 is a duct, pipe or conduit that is generally longer than it is wide and preferably has a substantially circular cross section, however, it may be oval, square, rectangular or another shape.
  • a heater 46 and fan assembly 50 , 60 within annular region 30 are located a heater 46 and fan assembly 50 , 60 .
  • the fan 50 is mounted on a circular bearing 56 and powered by a motor 60 .
  • Power from the motor 60 is provided to the fan using a magnetic coupling, gear or belt mechanism 54 .
  • Power is provided to the motor 60 using an electric cable 62 , which has a standard plug attached to its' distal end (not shown).
  • the cable 62 enters the appliance at the bottom of the handle 14 however, the entry point can be anywhere that would not cause excessive tugging on the cable during use.
  • the bearing 56 need not be circular and can be a discontinuous bearing surface.
  • the motor As the motor is not concentric with the fan which is often the case with conventional appliances of this type, it can be located in a position that is advantageous to handling of the appliance. Therefore, the motor can be positioned so as to balance the weight of the appliance as the motor is not directly attached to the fan and can be remote thereto and also to the heater which is another weight source for the appliance, i.e., the motor can be housed within the fluid flow path 20 or alternatively the motor is located within a duct or handle 14 .
  • the fan 50 has a hub 52 which seals the inlet to the inner wall 18 , thus the space 20 defined by the inner wall 18 does not have any significant fluid flow through it.
  • the fan blades are of reduced length as they are mounted around the tubular housing 18 rather than centrally to the body of the appliance. This results in a reduction in the amount of fluid that can be drawn in by the fan 50 however, as most of the work is done by the outer part of the fan blades the reduction is not significant. This reduced fan blade length has the advantage that weight of the appliance is reduced.
  • the hub 52 is preferably transparent and made from a durable plastic material such as polycarbonate.
  • the hub 52 can be shaped to provide a magnifying effect on an object that enters the line of sight at the other end of the body 12 b.
  • the motor 60 When the appliance is switched on, the motor 60 provides power to the fan 50 and this draws fluid into the primary fluid flow path 30 . If the heater 40 is activated, the fluid that is drawn in is heated prior to exiting the body at the outflow end 12 b.
  • FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7 a fan 150 is provided within the primary fluid flow path 130 . Fluid is drawn into the body 112 at an inlet end 112 a by the action of the fan 150 . The fluid then flows straight along the body to the heater 46 before exiting at the fluid outlet end 112 b of the body 112 .
  • FIG. 5 shows an appliance having two handles 114 and 114 b whereas FIGS. 6 and 7 only have one handle 114 .
  • a hubless fan 150 is provided within the primary fluid flow path 130 . Fluid is drawn into the body 112 at an inlet end 112 a by the action of the hubless fan 150 . The fluid then flows straight along the body to the heater 46 before exiting at the fluid outlet end 112 b of the body 112 . Fluid is entrained through a central fluid flow path 120 and mixes with the heated fluid 130 b at the outflow 112 b.
  • the hubless fan 150 is mounted on a circular bearing 166 and powered by a motor 46 which, in this embodiment is housed within the primary fluid flow path 130 , but could alternatively be located within the duct 114 . Power from the motor 60 is provided to the fan using for example, a magnetic coupling or gear or belt mechanism 164 .
  • a filter 160 may be provided at the fluid inlet end 112 a to protect the fan and motor from ingress of hair and dirt.
  • a fan 250 is provided within the primary fluid flow path 230 . Fluid is drawn into the body 212 at an inlet end 212 a by the action of the fan 250 . The fluid then flows straight along the body to the heater 46 before exiting at the fluid outlet end 212 b of the body 212 .
  • the fan 250 has a hub 270 which fits over the tubular housing 118 .
  • the hub 270 has a central aperture 280 through which fluid can flow in a fluid path 220 .
  • the motor is switched on the fan draws air into the primary fluid flow path 230 and fluid is entrained or induced within the fluid flow path 220 .
  • the fan 250 is mounted on a circular bearing 56 and powered by a motor 60 which, in this embodiment is housed within the primary fluid flow path 230 , but could alternatively be located within a duct 14 .
  • a motor 60 which, in this embodiment is housed within the primary fluid flow path 230 , but could alternatively be located within a duct 14 .
  • the motor can be positioned so as to balance the weight of the appliance as the motor is not directly attached to the fan and can be remote thereto and also to the heater which is another weight source for the appliance.
  • Power from the motor 60 is provided to the fan using a magnetic coupling, gear or belt mechanism 64 .
  • a filter may be provided at the fluid inlet end 212 a to protect the fan and motor from ingress of hair and dirt.
  • the appliance 300 has ducts 314 which are oval in cross-section.
  • the first is that when the duct is used as a handle it can be easier for a user to grip as the oval shape mimics the shape made by curled figures more precisely than a circular grip
  • the second is that the oval shape can be used to impart directionality to the ducts or handles. This feature is shown in FIG. 10 where a first duct/handle 314 a is oriented at right angles to a second duct/handle 314 b. This directionality can make the appliance easier to use.
  • a third advantage is that for a grippable handle, the oval shape gives a larger cross-sectional area than the circular handle meaning that a greater flow of fluid can pass through the oval handle. This can reduce one or more of the noise produced by the appliance in operation, power consumed by the appliance and pressure or duct losses within the appliance.
  • FIG. 11 shows an appliance 400 having a filter 450 which is a grill like filter which covers the primary fluid flow path 430 , leaving the majority if not all of the central fluid flow path 20 open and unfiltered.
  • the filter 450 may additionally comprise a mesh of material which is disposed between the grills of the filter.
  • the ducts 14 are generally circular in cross section and are preferably lined with a material 140 .
  • This material 140 is for example a foam or felt that is used for one or more of the following: to mitigate noise from the second fluid flow; vibrations from the fan assembly; or as an insulator to retain heat within the fluid flow system of the appliance.
  • the lining material 140 is preferably flared, rounded or chamfered at one or both of the upstream 140 a and downstream 140 b end of the lining. This can reduce pressure losses in the ducts and assist in reducing the noise generated as a less turbulent flow into/out of the lined portion is provided.
  • the inner opening at one or other end of the appliance can be used to store the appliance for example, by hooking the inner opening onto a retainer such as a hook or nail for convenient storage and retrieval as required.
  • the inner wall 18 is sealed; there is no access to this surface at the inlet end of the body 12 b.
  • the inner wall 118 is not sealed, so this wall can be accessed from outside the body and is thus an external wall.
  • the body is generally tubular and has a length that extends along an axial direction.
  • the primary fluid flow path that is drawn into the annular region 30 , 130 , 230 , 430 between the inner and outer walls extends axially along the body from an inlet to an outlet.
  • the primary fluid flow path extends along the body from a hairdryer inlet where fluid enters the hairdryer.
  • the primary fluid flow path extends from an upstream end of the inner wall for example, in the case that the inner wall is recessed within the outer wall.
  • the invention has been described in detail with respect to a hairdryer however, it is applicable to any appliance that draws in a fluid and directs the outflow of that fluid from the appliance.
  • the appliance can be used with or without a heater; the action of the outflow of fluid at high velocity has a drying effect.
  • the fluid that flows through the appliance is generally air, but may be a different combination of gases or gas and can include additives to improve performance of the appliance or the impact the appliance has on an object the output is directed at for example, hair and the styling of that hair.
