HAIRCARE APPLIANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049860 titled 'HAIRCARE APPLIANCE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a haircare appliance that has an air inlet, an air outlet, an airflow generator, a fixed body, and a rotatable member. The airflow generator generates an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The fixed body defines the air outlet, which has a first aperture on one side and a second aperture on the opposite side. The rotatable member can be rotated from a first configuration, where it allows airflow through the first aperture and blocks airflow through the second aperture, to a second configuration, where it allows airflow through the second aperture and blocks airflow through the first aperture. The rotation of the rotatable member is achieved by the force of gravity.
- The haircare appliance has an airflow generator that creates a flow of air from the air inlet to the air outlet.
- The air outlet is defined by a fixed body and has two apertures on opposite sides.
- The rotatable member can be rotated to either allow airflow through the first aperture and block the second aperture or allow airflow through the second aperture and block the first aperture.
- The rotation of the rotatable member is controlled by gravity.
Potential Applications:
- Hair dryers or styling tools that can switch between different airflow directions.
- Haircare appliances that can provide targeted airflow to specific areas of the hair or scalp.
- Devices that can adjust the airflow direction based on user preferences or hair type.
Problems Solved:
- Provides a versatile haircare appliance that can easily switch between different airflow directions.
- Allows for targeted airflow, which can be beneficial for styling or drying specific areas of the hair.
- Offers flexibility in adjusting the airflow direction based on user needs or hair type.
Benefits:
- Enhanced functionality and versatility in haircare appliances.
- Improved efficiency in styling or drying hair by directing airflow to specific areas.
- Customizable airflow direction based on user preferences or hair requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
a haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet, a fixed body defining the air outlet, and a rotatable member rotatable relative to the fixed body. the air outlet has a first aperture located on a first side of the fixed body, and a second aperture located on a second side of the fixed body opposite to the first side of the fixed body. the rotatable member is rotatable from a first configuration in which the rotatable member permits airflow through the first aperture and blocks airflow through the second aperture, to a second configuration in which the rotatable member permits airflow through the second aperture and blocks airflow through the first aperture. the rotatable member is rotatable relative to the fixed member under the action of gravity in use.
