Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of hairdryers and, in particular, hand-held electric hairdryers used by professionals and / or individuals.
- the invention relates to blower brushes.
- a hand blower generally comprises an elongated tubular body that is open at both ends, one of which defines an air inlet and the other an air outlet adapted to carry a removable accessory or not.
- the tubular body encloses a motor-fan unit which comprises a propeller integral with the drive shaft of an electric motor. Most often the tubular body has dimensions adapted to form a handle and allow its grip in direct hand.
- the tubular body is furthermore equipped with a connection cord to the electrical network as well as control members for the operation of the electric motor.
- the fan motor unit sucks air through the inlet located at the rear of the tubular body to push back through the outlet located at the front of the latter.
- the blower brush comprises, inside the tubular body, downstream of the propeller means for electric heating of the blown air.
- the blower brush is equipped with a tubular accessory comprising on its periphery openings for diffusing the blown air and optionally bristles and / or pins.
- the brush uses a motor-fan group of high power, for example of the order of 1000W.
- a patent application JP2013059580 proposed to incorporate inside the tubular accessory air deflection means comprising an axial hub which carries radial fins directing the air blown towards the diffusion openings.
- blower brush gives overall satisfaction with regard to its primary function of hair drying.
- quality of the air diffusion it is clear that notwithstanding the power of the motor-fan unit air does not diffuse evenly over the length of the accessory and that the temperature blown air is also not uniform.
- blower brush has the disadvantage of being particularly noisy which induces fatigue during prolonged use by a professional or a nuisance for the user and those around him.
- the document GB2097669 discloses a blower accessory comprising a diffusion tube and air deflection means.
- annular deflector comprising a central opening, that is to say an open deflector and free of obstacles in its center, ensures a better homogeneity of the diffusion of the air blown on the length of the diffusion chamber without inducing the pressure losses such that those resulting from the means of deflection according to demand JP2013059580 .
- the passage section of the lateral diffusion openings arranged after the deflector decreases from one opening to the other in the direction F1 of the air flow. .
- This can be reproduced after each deflector when the accessory has several.
- This deflector combination followed, in the direction of passage of the air, by an evolutive section (preferably diminished when in combination with an annular baffle) openings improves the homogeneity of the diffusion of the air blown along the length of the diffusion chamber without inducing losses.
- the central opening of each deflector has a circular shape.
- each deflector is coaxial with the axis ⁇ of the diffusion chamber.
- the deflection means comprise at least two annular deflectors remote from each other along the axis ⁇ .
- the implementation of several deflectors makes it possible to homogenize the diffusion of air along the diffusion chamber.
- the passage section of the central opening of the baffles decreases from an annular baffle to the next annular baffle in the direction of flow of air from the inlet.
- the annular deflectors divide the diffusion chamber into compartments of length, measured parallel to the axis ⁇ , substantially equal. This variant allows also to maintain the homogeneity of the diffusion by compensating for the losses of load.
- the annular deflectors divide the diffusion chamber into compartments and, for the same compartment, the passage cross section of the diffusion openings decreases from one opening to the other in the F1 direction. of the flow of air.
- two consecutive annular deflectors are connected by at least one spacer. This variant makes it easier to install the annular baffles during assembly of the accessory according to the invention.
- each spacer is located in contact with the inner face of the peripheral wall and has a shape complementary to the latter. This variant makes it possible to limit or even eliminate the influence of the spacers on the flow of air in the diffusion chamber.
- each annular baffle comprises a central opening bordered by an annular wall extending to the inner face of the peripheral wall.
- the outer edge of the annular wall is in contact with the inner surface of the peripheral wall. This arrangement limits or even prevents the passage of air between the annular baffle and the peripheral wall so as to reduce operating noise.
- the face, said downstream, of the annular wall, oriented towards the adaptation end, of each annular baffle converges towards the central opening.
- the face facing the adaptation end diverges from the central opening to the peripheral wall so as to gradually bend the direction of air flow to reduce the pressure losses and airborne noise.
- the diverging character should be interpreted as opposed to a flat surface that would extend perpendicular to the ⁇ axis and the flow of air from the central opening to the peripheral wall.
- the face facing the entrance may, for example, have a truncated-pyramidal shape with the apex facing the fitting end.
- the face, said downstream, of the annular wall facing the adaptation end of each deflector is concave.
- a concave shape makes it possible to optimize the progressiveness of the inflection of the air flow so as to reduce the pressure losses as much as possible.
- the face facing the adapter end has, in axial cross section, an arcuate shape whose recess is oriented towards the adapter end.
- the tangent to the face facing the fitting end may be substantially parallel to the axis ⁇ , while at the level of the peripheral wall, the tangent to the face facing the adaptation end may be substantially normal to the axis ⁇ .
- the concave character of the face facing the fitting end imparts scoop shape and function to the annular baffle.
- the radius of curvature of the face, said downstream, oriented towards the end of adaptation of the annular wall of the annular deflectors increases from an annular baffle to the following annular baffle in the direction of flow air from the adapter end. This increase in the radius of curvature makes it possible, in particular, to compensate the pressure losses in the diffusion chamber and to optimize the uniformity of the diffusion.
- the outer surface of the peripheral wall has a cylindrical shape of revolution of axis ⁇ .
- the diffusion openings are distributed over the length and the circumference of the peripheral wall. In a preferred but not exclusive manner, the diffusion openings are uniformly distributed on the peripheral wall.
- the diffusion openings may have different shapes.
- the diffusion openings may have a circular or oval shape.
- the diffusion openings may also have an elongate or oblong shape oriented parallel or inclined relative to the axis ⁇ .
- the diffusion openings may also have a polygonal shape such as triangular or square. It should be noted that the diffusion openings of the same accessory may have all the same shapes and dimensions or, conversely, have different shapes and / or dimensions.

- the body 1 has a generally cylindrical shape adapted to allow grip of the hairstyling apparatus A in a region located, for example, at the level of the motor-fan unit 4.
- the outlet end 3 of the hairdressing apparatus A is further adapted to receive an accessory 20 for a blower apparatus according to the invention.
- the accessory 20 comprises an elongate diffusion tube 21 of axis ⁇ .
