Hair curling iron

Abstract

A hair curling iron including a lower case composed of a lower grill part and a lower heating part, a lower closing part which closes the top side of the lower case's lower grill part, a lower heater installed inside the lower heating part of the lower case in which the lower closing part has been assembled, an upper grill part and an upper heating part composing the upper case, an upper closing part which closes the bottom side of the upper grill part of the upper case. The hair curling iron is composed of the upper heater installed inside the upper heating part of the upper case in which the upper closing part has been assembled. A rounded concave part composing the surface for hair to be easily curled by being installed in the lower heating part of the lower case, a concave heat plate on both sides equipped with a lower exposed part which is exposed on both sides of the lower case and composed of the block part in the surface in order to more smoothly curl hair by contacting the surface of the concave part of the concave heating plate. A block heating plate construction include an upper exposed part that is exposed to both sides of the upper case on both sides. According to this hair curling iron, a block part is formed in the block heating plate installed in the upper case and a concave part is formed in the concave heating plate installed in the lower case and therefore able to not only curl hair more effectively. Also, as the block heating plate's exposed part is larger than the concave heating plate's exposed part, the block heating plate and the concave heating plate generally maintain the same temperatures, thereby more effectively curling the hair.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority to Korean patent application 2003-0031328, filed Oct. 6, 2003, and which issued on Feb. 3, 2004 as No. 0341776, and whose entire contents are hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a hair curling iron that uses heat in treating or styling hair and is particularly effective in curling hair. [0003] Various hair curling irons used in hair care shops such as beauty parlors and barber shops that treat hair with heating, have been widely available. An example of a traditional hair curling iron is disclosed in Japanese patent publication No. 2002-292527 on Oct. 8. 2002.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] The present invention is directed to remedying the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to providing a superior hair curling iron.

[0008] According to the hair curling iron of the present invention, a convex part is formed in the convex heating plate installed in the upper case and a concave part is formed in the concave heating plate installed in the lower case and thereby is able to curl hair more effectively. Additionally, as the convex heating plate's exposed part is larger than the concave heating plate's exposed part, the heat temperatures occurring in the convex heating plate and the concave heating plate are maintained generally at the same temperature, thereby curling hair more effectively.

Problems solved by technology

However, with this traditional device there is the problem that the device does not allow effective hair curl styling since the heat plates 5 that provide heat to the hair form on planar surfaces.
