Abstract
The invention is directed to an electrically powered appliance for the treatment of hair, in particular a hair dryer, having a fan motor for generating a current of air and a heater unit for heating the air current, and a housing with an air inlet port and an air outlet port as well as a connector element, for connecting the hair dryer to an implement for hair treatment. This implement is equipped, particularly for the styling and/or drying of hair, with an electrical load, for example, an electric motor, and is attachable to the air outlet port of the hair dryer. The connector element includes at least one terminal device for electrical connection to a voltage-carrying component in the hair dryer. The terminal device electrically at selected locations is connected with the heater unit and is disposed essentially outside the heater unit.
