Benefits of technology
"This patent describes a hair styling apparatus with a transparent window that has electric heating substances distributed along it. This design allows for better flexibility and space utilization, as well as more even heating and reduced barrel cavity occupation. The transparent window can also be coated with other useful substances such as ionizers, infrared heated light bulbs, and displays. The apparatus can be a handheld device or a hair dryer and boiler. The technical effects of this invention include improved design flexibility, space utilization, even heating, and enhanced aesthetic appearance."
Problems solved by technology
However, conventional resistive heating means are known to be bulky, unsightly and have a relatively low power efficiency.
Similarly, the electric heating elements are unsightly and occupy the bulk of the cavity enclosed by the contact hair styling surface.
In addition, heat-loss during transit to the contact styling surface is significant.
Furthermore, conventional electric heating elements are non-directional so that heat is generated and disseminated in all directions which means that heat not transmitted to the useful hair styling surface is lost, resulting in a low thermal efficiency as well as causing adverse heating of the non-hair contact surfaces.

Embodiment Construction
[0030] Referring firstly to FIG. 1 to FIG. 1B, there is shown a hair curler 100 as a first preferred example of the present invention. The hair curler 100 comprises a handle 20 and a styling member 30. The handle is intermediate the hair styling member and an electric cord for obtaining operating power. An on / off switch 21 is disposed on the handle and comprises a sliding switch 22 which is accessible from the outside of the handle for turning on or off power supply to the electric heating means. An indicator 23, such as a LED indicator, is disposed on the handle so that operating states of the hair curler can be shown. The hair styling member 30 comprises a tubular member 31 which defines a contact hair styling surface 32. A pivotable clamping arm comprising a hair clamping surface 33 and a pivotable arm 34 is provided at near the middle portion of the apparatus. The length of the hair clamping surface 33 is similar to the longitudinal length of the contact hair styling surface 32 ...

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to hair apparatus and, more particularly, to hair styling apparatus with heating means such as hair dryers, hair straighteners and hair curlers. More specifically, although not solely limited thereto, this invention relates to handheld hair styling apparatus with heating means. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Hair apparatus, for example, hair styling apparatus, usually comprises electric heating means for quicker and longer-term hair styling effects. Resistive heating elements, such as electric heating coils, are commonly used as heating means in conventional hair styling apparatus. However, conventional resistive heating means are known to be bulky, unsightly and have a relatively low power efficiency. For example, conventional coil heating elements occupy almost the entire internal barrel cavity of a hair blower or hair dryer, leaving very little space for other components, such as, for example, ionizers, sensors, displays ci...
