Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8000783A1] A hairdryer incorporates a housing (11) which in turn contains an electric heater element (13) and a control switch or control switches for the hairdryer. An electric motor (35) for the hairdryer drives a fan (41) which blows air through the heater element to result in a stream of heated air. The motor is mounted in a casing (38) which is removable from the housing (11) and is electrically connected to the rest of the hairdryer by plugs (52, 53) and sockets (28, 29) which automatically engage and disengage as the casing is assembled to the housing. This arrangement allows a burnt out motor to be replaced very simply.
