Abstract:
A grooming device having a first unit and upper hand-held unit connected to the first unit. A vacuum unit in the first unit creates a vacuum air flow in a vacuum chamber in the hand-held unit, while a heating unit in the first unit generates a heated air flow to a heat chamber in the hand-held unit. The heat chamber and vacuum chamber are contained within a vessel in the hand-held unit. The heat chamber is separated from the vacuum chamber by a wall having regularly spaced pores. When both the vacuum unit and heating unit of the device are switched on, the vacuum flow in the vacuum chamber pulls heated air from the heat chamber through pores in the wall so that dry, heated air flows along the length of the vessel. Thus, hair placed in the vacuum chamber of the hand-held unit is exposed to the combined effect of the vacuum and flow of heated air. In a further embodiment, the wall of the vacuum chamber is heated by a heating element thereby causing the vacuum flow to be heated.
A motorized tool for scrubbing, buffing, and polishing. The tool has a motor within a housing powered by an electrical power supply to move a base member. Surface treatment material is selectively retained by the base member, potentially by a latching system, a sleeved surface treatment system, or hook and loop material. A water-resistant battery pack can be selectively engaged with the housing, such as through a mating engagement between a tubular projection from the battery pack in combination with an annular socket in the housing, in a substantially watertight manner to provide electrical power. A liquid retaining volume can be disposed within the motorized tool, such as partially within a handle and partially contiguous with a motor compartment of the housing, for retaining a volume of liquid. Liquid can be selectively emitted into or through a surface treatment pad through an exhaust tube.
