Benefits of technology

The curling iron achieves a consistent curling effect while preventing excessive temperature increases, thus protecting hair from thermal damage.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional curling irons are problematic in that they cannot maintain constant temperatures since they are repeatedly turned on and turned off.
In addition, the temperature of the heater of the conventional curling iron is sometimes excessively increased during a curling process, and, in such a case, hair may be thermally damaged.

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Reference should now be made to the drawings, in which the same reference numerals are used throughout the different drawings to designate the same or similar components.

[0012]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a curling iron, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the curling iron of FIG. 1.

[0013] The curling iron of the present invention uses heated fluid as its heat source for heating a target material, that is, hair, and, in the preferred embodiment of the drawings, the heated fluid is steam 100. The steam 100 is typically increased in its temperature to so that the steam 100 sufficiently heats the hair, without thermally damaging the hair.

[0014] The curling iron of the present invention has a fluid heating unit which heats a fluid used as the heat source. In the preferred embodiment, the fluid heating unit is a steam generator 200 which is electrically operated to produce the steam 100. The steam generator 200 includes...

Abstract

The object of this invention is to provide a curling iron using heated fluid as its heat source. The curling iron of the present invention is comprised of a fluid heating unit, a heating unit, and curling tongs. Since the curling iron uses heated fluid as its heat source for heating hair, the curling iron uses heated fluid as its heat source for heating hair, the curling iron maintains a constant temperature capable of accomplishing a desired curling effect and prevents an excessive increase in its temperature so as to prevent damage to the hair.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of, and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 506,758 filed Sep. 8, 2004, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates, in general, to a curling iron using heated fluid as its heat source and, more particularly, to a curling iron using heated fluid as its heat source for heating hair, thus maintaining a constant temperature capable of accomplishing a desired curling effect and preventing an excessive increase in its temperature so as to prevent damage to the hair. BACKGROUND ART [0003] As well known to those skilled in the art, conventional curling irons used for curling hair typically use electric coil heaters as heat sources thereof. Such an electric coil heater for the curling irons generates heat when it is operated by electricity, so that the heat is directly transferred from the heater to the hair during a curling proces...
