AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about improving hair styling by using a magnet on a styling head. The magnet can be placed on the contact surface of the styling head for contact styling or cooling of the hair. The magnetic force from the magnet can be used to hold the hair in place while it dries. The invention also includes a heated styling head and a cooling head, which can be used together or separately. The cooling head has a non-metallic heat-sinking mass to absorb the heat from the contact surface. The invention also includes a permanent magnet slab and a heating apparatus that can move relative to the main housing. The non-metallic heating mass can be made of rock-like substances with high heat mass. The invention also includes a metallic heat sink for dissipating heat away from the contact cooling surface. Overall, the invention provides an improved way to style hair."

Problems solved by technology

Although heated styling heads provide a useful and convenient means for hair styling, the degree and duration of heating required is known to be damaging to hair.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4B, there is shown a handheld hair styling apparatus illustrating a first preferred embodiment of this invention. The hair styling apparatus 100 comprises a handle 110 and a pair of styling members 130. The handle resembles a pair of tongs and comprises a pair of arms 113, 115 which are pivotally joined at a hinge 117 near their respective ends so that arms 113,115 are pivotally movable about the pivotal hinge 117 between a fully “opened” position and a fully “close” position. The pair of styling members comprises a pair of styling heads 131, 133 which are disposed at corresponding locations near the fee ends of the handles distal to the hinge 117. The handle 110 and the styling heads 131, 133 are disposed so that, when the pair of arms is at the “closed” position, tresses of hair can be engaged under pressure by the styling surfaces 135, 137 for contact hair styling. On the other hand, when the pair of arms is at the “opened” position, tresses of hair ...

Description

[0001]This invention relates to hair styling means and apparatus and, more particularly, to hair styling irons such as hair curling irons and hair straightening irons. More specifically, although of course not solely limited thereto, this invention relates to handheld hair styling with heated styling heads.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Hair styling apparatus are widely used in hair applications. A common type of hair styling apparatus is tong-shaped and comprises a pair of hinged arms with a pair of heated styling heads, which are mounted on the free ends of the hinged arms with the styling surfaces facing each other. Hair is typically styled, for example, by a pair of curling or straightening heads, when the pair of heated styling heads is in compressive engagement. Another common type of hair styling apparatus is flute-shaped and comprises a handle with an elongated metallic rod which is substantially coaxial with the handle. The elongated metallic rod comprises a heated stylin...
