Problems solved by technology

In particular, known clamping members do not provide a comb section for styling while pulling wrapped hair around the clamping member.
Consequently, conventional curling irons do not enable styling with a comb while curling.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring to FIG. 1, a first side view of an exemplary curling iron 100 according to principles of the invention is conceptually shown. The exemplary curling iron 100 generally includes a pair of scissor-like handles 150 and 120. A curling rod 170 has an outer peripheral surface and a first (proximal) end attached to a handle 150 and a second (distal) end projecting outwardly from the handle 150. A concave clamping member 105 has a flat portion 115 and a comb portion 110 and a first (proximal) end attached to a handle 120 and a second (distal) end projecting outwardly from the handle 120.

[0016] Handle 150 attached to curling rod 170 comprises a first pivoting member. Handle 120 attached to concave clamping member 105 comprises a second pivoting member. Each pivoting member includes an intermediate pivoting section 155 and 165 with alignable holes 160 and 161. The intermediate pivoting sections 155 and 165 are pivotally joined with a pivot pin 167 through the alignable holes ...

Abstract

A curling iron includes a concave clamping member having a lateral straight edge and a lateral comb edge. The clamping member is adapted to mate with a curling rod when the curling iron is in a closed position. The straight edge of the clamping member is substantially parallel to the comb edge. The comb edge includes a plurality of uniformly spaced combing teeth. Each tooth is tapered from a root portion to a distal end of the tooth. The teeth are curved to the contour of the concave clamping member. A pair of pivotally attached handles enable opening and closing of the curling iron. 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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention generally relates to curling irons, and, more particularly, to curling irons with an arcuate clamping member having a comb portion. [0003] 2. Background Description [0004] Many curling irons have been devised to curl hair. Most conventional curling irons are comprised of a scissor-like device with a curling rod and a bill-shaped concave clamping member, each attached to a handle. A hinge enables the clamping member and rod to pivot for opening and closing movement. When closed, the concave surface of the clamping member engages (i.e., mates with) the curling rod. Hair may be wrapped around the curling rod and positioned between the interface of the mating surfaces of the clamping member and curling rod to aid in curling the hair. [0005] While known prior art curling irons facilitate curling, they have shortcomings. In particular, known clamping members do not provide a comb section for styling while p...
