Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0351765A2] Inserted in a guide piece (29) of a hair dryer is an air deflection nozzle (14) which is capable of deflecting the emerging air flow in the main plane of extension of the handle (10) of the hair dryer in any direction depending on the position. For example, the air deflection nozzle (14) can be rotated coaxially relative to the air outlet (20) by means of a servo motor (17). <IMAGE>
