Hand held appliance

Abstract

A hand held appliance includes a handle having an outer wall and an inner wall, a motor and a heater both housed within the inner wall, a wiring assembly including a power supply for the motor and a power supply for the heater wherein the power supply for the motor is substantially diametrically opposite the power supply for the heater within the handle. The power supply for the motor may be substantially diametrically opposite the power supply for the heater when the wiring assembly extends passed the motor. When the wiring assembly extends passed the motor, the wiring assembly may be located between the outer wall and the inner wall. The inner wall may include at least one channel extending along a radially outer surface for housing the wiring assembly and each of the at least one channel may house a wire of the wiring assembly.

1 . A hand held appliance comprising a handle having an outer wall and an inner wall, a motor and a heater both housed within the inner wall, and a wiring assembly including a power supply for the motor and a power supply for the heater, wherein the power supply for the motor is diametrically opposite the power supply for the heater within the handle. 
     
     
         2 . The appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the power supply for the motor is diametrically opposite the power supply for the heater as the wiring assembly extends past the motor. 
     
     
         3 . The appliance of  claim 1 , wherein as the wiring assembly extends past the motor, the wiring assembly is located between the outer wall and the inner wall. 
     
     
         4 . The appliance of  claim 3 , wherein the inner wall comprises at least one channel extending along a radially outer surface for housing the wiring assembly. 
     
     
         5 . The appliance of  claim 4 , wherein each of the at least one channel houses a wire of the wiring assembly. 
     
     
         6 . The appliance of  claim 5 , wherein the each of the at least one channel is sized to accommodate a wire of the wiring assembly. 
     
     
         7 . The appliance of  claim 5 , wherein each of the at least one channels have a depth within the radially outer surface adapted for one of the wires of the wiring assembly. 
     
     
         8 . The appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the handle further comprises a fluid inlet at one end and a fluid flow path extending along the handle within the outer wall. 
     
     
         9 . The appliance of  claim 8 , wherein upstream of the fluid inlet, the handle comprises a printed circuit board (PCB), the motor and the heater, and a fluid outlet. 
     
     
         10 . The appliance of  claim 9 , wherein for a portion of the length of the handle, the fluid flow path extends within the inner wall. 
     
     
         11 . The appliance of  claim 10 , wherein the fluid flow path extends within the inner wall downstream of the PCB. 
     
     
         12 . The appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the appliance is a hair care appliance. 
     
     
         13 . The appliance of  claim 12 , wherein the hair care appliance is a hot styling appliance.
