20110226278 | ELECTRICAL APPARATUS FOR HAIR STYLING - Apparatus for hair styling comprising: two handles connected together so as to allow the apparatus to be opened and closed by bringing said handles apart and together, respectively, and two styling elements respectively associated with the two handles, wherein each styling element comprises a roller adapted to rotate about its own longitudinal axis during the styling of the hair, at least one of the rollers comprises a heating element, and at least one of the styling elements comprises elastic means operatively associated with the respective roller, adapted to exert on the roller an elastic force according to a substantially transversal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of rotation of the roller. | 09-22-2011 |
20110232673 | HAIR TREATMENT TOOL INCLUDING FLAT IRON - A hair treatment flat iron allows hair to be treated with greater proximity to the root and with reduced awkwardness in doing so by providing angled surfaces at a shallow, acute angle on at least one edge of the heated plate of respective opposing portions of the flat iron. Treatment of hair closer to the root reduces the number of time the flat iron must be applied to a group of hair strands in order to achieve the desired effect while reduction of awkwardness in applying the flat iron to the hair reduces the time concentrated heat is applied near the scalp; thus greatly reducing likelihood of hair damage and scalp injury while facilitating and expediting use. A perfecting feature of the invention is provided by a curved surface of the plate and housing which allows the flat iron to be used as a curling or crimping iron. | 09-29-2011 |
20110247646 | Electric Hair Curling Iron - The present invention provides an electric hair curling device comprising a main handle, a cylindrical barrel for emitting heat operationally, a clamp member extending along one side of the cylindrical barrel which is shaped cylindrically to complement the shape of the barrel and a thermally insulated tip coupled to the cylindrical barrel. The thermally insulated tip is rotatable relative to the cylindrical barrel and is shaped as a small handle for gripping purpose. During operation, one of the user hand rolls the main handle, while the other hand holds the thermally insulated tip, thus providing a steady support which makes the overall curling process easier and less tiring for the user. | 10-13-2011 |
20120024311 | Hair-Care Device with Jaws - A hair-care device includes at least: two jaws, first jaw and second jaw, which are elongated and hinged together so as to be able to shift between an open position and a closed position in which opposing working surfaces define a hair treatment region, and electric heating element attached to at least one of the working surfaces. The first jaw consists of at least one friction bar which is able to move along an adjacent working surface and which is adapted to engage with an opposing element of second jaw to create, when the jaws are closed, a traction region which generates a traction force which exceeds the traction force generated by the treatment region as the device is moved over a lock of hair. | 02-02-2012 |
20120138081 | ELECTRIC CURLING IRON - Disclosed therein is an electric curling iron. The electric curling iron includes: a body part; a heating rod arranged at a side of the body part and having a heat ray heater disposed therein; an upper handle and a lower handle hinge-coupled on a hinge shaft formed at the other side of the body part, the upper and lower handles being movable in a tong shape; and an upper pressing member and a lower pressing member whose end portions are respectively overlapped and hinge-coupled to front ends of the inner faces of the upper and lower handles, the upper and lower pressing members respectively having a shape corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the heating rod, wherein the upper and lower pressing members are opened wider than the upper and lower handles, so that a user can rapidly and convenient do hair styling. | 06-07-2012 |
20130276813 | BIDIRECTIONAL CURLING IRON WITH AN ASYMMETRIC CLAMPING MEMBER HAVING A LATERAL COMB EDGE AND AN OPPOSITE PARALLEL STRAIGHT EDGE - A curling iron includes a concave clamping member having a lateral straight edge and an opposite lateral comb edge. The clamping member is adapted to mate with a curling rod when the curling iron is in a closed position. During curling, the curling iron may be rotated so that either the straight edge or the comb edge moves towards the hair and engages and styles the hair with the lateral straight edge forming a solid barrel curl and the lateral comb edge forming evenly separated multiple curls, multiple spikes, multiple spirals and/or multiple waves. | 10-24-2013 |
20140318567 | SHORT HAIR STYLING TOOL THAT INCLUDES A HEAT RESISTANT SAFETY MECHANISM TO OBSTRUCT BURNS - A hair styling device, such as a curling iron, includes a heat resistant lower section which provides users who wish to style their hair in-home and without a hair stylist present less chance of the likelihood of critical or significant burns. The curling iron protects the integrity of the skin and enables the consumer to use a device that is safe and simple to use. The curling iron has a heat resistant lower casing that runs the length of the base of the barrel in a single, layered segment. The safety mechanism includes a lower casing made of heat resistant material such as a heat resistant plastic or other heat resistant material. The lower casing can frame a layer of heat resistant material, such as, but not limited to silicone. The lower casing runs from the handle to a heat resistant tip. | 10-30-2014 |
20160128443 | HAIR STYLING IRON WITH TIMER - A hair styling iron includes a handle to which a barrel is mounted, a heating element in the barrel, a rotary drive including a motor that rotates the barrel, a control circuit including a timer, and a momentary drive switch which is user actuable and connected to the control circuit for control of the motor. Actuation of the drive switch must be maintained to operate the rotary drive. The control circuit monitors at least one change of state of the drive switch to determine a starting time, and actuates an alarm after an elapsed time measured from the starting time. The elapsed time is calculated by the control circuit in direct proportion to an angle of rotation of the barrel relative to the handle that occurs between a first actuation of the drive switch and release of the drive switch immediately following the first actuation of the drive switch. | 05-12-2016 |
20160374445 | HAIR IRON - A hair iron of the present invention includes a grip; a body combined with the grip, the body being provided with a switch that controls a current supply; a heating part combined with the body, the heating part generating heat by an operation of the switch; and a clip rotatably combined with the body by using a locking unit, the clip making contact with a surface of the heating part, wherein a manipulator is rotatably provided on a portion at which the body is combined with the heating part so that the locking unit of the clip can be selectively combined with the manipulator, thereby enabling lock/release of the clip relative to the body, and a control button is provided on a portion at which the grip and the body are combined, so that a rotation of the grip rotatably provided on the body is determined by an operation of the control button. | 12-29-2016 |
