  • a plurality of transverse slots 38 disposed between the brush cluster rows provide for free air circulation between outlet 28 and the brush work area.
  • comb attachment 23 and brush' attachment 35 can assume other forms depending on the spe-" cific requirements of the application. For example, multiple rows of comb teeth could be employed instead of a single row of comb teeth on the comb attachment,
  • a rectangular duct 48 leads from the discharge side of the fan to outlet port 28, the vortex stabilizing wall 47 being an extension of one of the side walls thereof. This can be better seen in FIG. 8, which shows duct 48 and the stabilizing wall in perspective.
  • transverse fan is ideally suited for this application because of the high static pressure it provides with low-speed small-diameter fans, and the particularly well-suited form factor such fans provide in conjunction with a handle-located motor, it will be appreciated that other types of fans could be used by appropriate modification of the appliance housing.
  • a pair of flat rectangular heating elements 50 and 51 are contained within duct 48 for the purpose of heating the air stream discharged through outlet 28. These heating elements are preferably aligned edgewise to the air flow, each preferably has at least one tap for the purpose of controlling the temperature in the air stream in a manner to be presently described.
  • hair styling appliance 20 incorporates a water spray system for conveniently injecting a water spray or mist into the air stream as it is discharged through outlet 28.
  • a water spray system for conveniently injecting a water spray or mist into the air stream as it is discharged through outlet 28.
  • water for this system is stored in a semi-cylindrical water reservoir bottle 60.
  • a screwtype cap 61 is threaded onto the mouth of the bottle.
  • a single stroke liquid pump 62 which may be conventional in design and construction, extends through the cap and into the bottle.
  • An additional length of tubing 63 is provided between the intake end of this pump to insure that substantially the entire contents of the bottle will be available to the pump. As pump 62 extends outside the bottle it abuts against one end of a pump actuator lever 64.
  • the end of pump actuator lever 64 which abuts pump 62 contains a cup-shaped recess 65 for achieving a liquid-tight engagement with a gagement with trigger 27.
  • Trigger 27 extends through a slot provided between the two sections of the housing, the end in engagement with pump actuator lever 64 being transversely enlarged by means of opposed pins 69 to preclude that end of the lever from passing through the slot.
  • the other end of the lever is pivotally mounted to the body sections by'means of an opposed pin and socket arrangement similar to that of lever 64.
  • Pump 62 can be conventional in design and construction, comprising a housing 70 having an enlarged portion containing a helical compressionspring 71 and a slidable plunger 72.
  • a slidable casing 73 coaxial with plunger 72, is fitted over the'plunger betweenthe inner wall of housing 70. and the outer wall of the plunger. This casing is flared outwardly against valve housing-60 at its inner end and necks down to an aperture 74 at its outside end to provide a seal with gasket 66 and to position the plunger within the valve housing.
  • a .check valve is formed at the intake end of the pump chamber by means of ball valve member 75 which seats against a narrowed portion of the valve housing 70 during down strokes of the pump.
  • Another check valve is formed at the discharge end of the pump by a wall valve member 76, which fits against the inwardly tapered discharge end of the plunger to prevent fluid from reentering the pump chamber during upstrokes.
  • Casing 73 is loosely fitted within pump housing 70 to provide an air passageway between the interior of reservoir bottle 60 and the surrounding atmosphere. This is necessary for operation of the pump, since otherwise no pressure relief would exist and a vacuum would be developed above the liquid remaining in the reservoir.
  • the passageway is formed by means of an aperture 77 contained in the pump housing and positioned so that the inside flared end of casing 73 'will be between the aperture and the cap while the plunger is at rest in its fully extended position. This prevents the bottle from r leaking, since the outwardly tapered edge of casing 73 coacts with valve housing 70 to form an effectiveliquid seal between aperture 72 and the outside of the bottle. When the pump is actuated the tapered end moves to a position below aperture 77, allowing free movement of air between the inside of the bottle and the atmosphere.
  • the reservoir bottle 60 is removable from a compartment within the hair styler by means of a door 78 located at the bottom end of the handle portion of the housing.
  • This arrangement is particularly advantageous, since the reservoir can be removed from the appliance without interference to the hair arranging attachments of the head, and without exposing any of the internal electrical or mechanical elements of the appliance.
  • reservoir bottle 60 is shaped in the form of a half cylinder, one side wall of its body being arcuate to conform to the inside arcuate surface of housing section 21, and the other side wall being flat to provide space within the handle for receiving electrical power cord 26 and its associated anchor block, as illustrated in FIG. 9.
  • the arcuate wall of the reservoir bottle may be provided with a plurality of indentions 79 for the purpose of facilitating the removal of the bottle.
  • Access door 78 is pivotally mounted to housing section 22 by means of opposed outwardly extending integral pins which coact with complimentarily spaced slots on the housing.
  • reservoir bottle 60 when reservoir bottle 60 is removed from the appliance cap 61 can be conveniently removed for the purpose of filling the bottle.
  • the bottle can be positioned under a running water faucet in performing the refilling operation, withoug fear of damaging the internal mechanism of the hair styling appliance.
  • the pump should the pump become clogged from minerals or other impurities in the spray solution, it can be readily cleaned while thus removed. Also, should the pump become defective, it can be replaced by merely fastening a new pump and cap assembly to the mouth of the reservoir bottle.
  • a flexible hose 80 is force fit over the protuberance 67 on the pump actuator lever 64 to carry liquid from the pump to spray head 19.
  • This hose extends from the handle portion of the hair styler to the head portion, and is attached to the spray head by means of a force fit over a protuberance provided at the rear of spray head 29. Referring to FIG. 7A, spray head 29 com-.
  • the innerchamber 83 of the spray head assembly is seen to be annular in cross section, having aridge about its inner surface which forms an annular orifice-84 in which the spray is developed.
  • a pressure relief valve 85 is included in hose near the spray head.
  • the pressure relief valve is seen to comprise a bu
  • Theforward or downstream end of this member is slit into three equal segments 86-88, as seen in FIG. 7C. Since the neoprene is semiflexible, the outwardly convex downstream end of member effectively comprise a trio of flexible hinges. Under pressure, these hinge sections 86.88 expand outwardly, forming an aperture through which fluid can pass.
  • an AC current source as represented by AC line cord 26, is connected to-the first pole 90 of a .three position twopole. mode switch 91.
  • the other side of the AC line is connected by means of a thermal safety switch 92 to one end contact of a resistive heating element.93,
  • heating element 93 is connected to the remaining pole 98 of mode switch 91 and thence to the low heat mode contact of the first pole of the switch.
  • Resistive heating element 93 includes three taps 99-101 between sections 94 and 95, 95 and 96, and 96 and 97, respectively. Taps 99 and 101 are connected to the anodes of a pair of rectifiers 102 and 103, respectively, and the cathodes of these rectifiers are connected together and to one terminal of the DC fan motor 41. The remaining terminal of motor 41 is connected directly to tap 100 on heating element 93. Tap 101 is also connected to the high heat mode contact of pole 90, and the high heat mode contact of pole 98 is connected directly to the other side of the AC line.
  • the hair styler could employ other types of motors, including AC type motors by appropriate modification of'the circuit components.
  • the low heat mode allows full line current to be applied across section 97 of heating element 93, and allows sections 94-96to operate in series while developing a suitable alternating current for motor 41.
