Benefits of technology

[0008]It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a hair styling tool that can be used to roll and brush hair in one application.
[0011]It is still a further object of the invention to provide a hair styling tool assembly that has a means for preventing rotation between the hair roller and the handle when the hair is being rolled on the roller, thereby eliminating twisting of the engaged roller and handle.

Problems solved by technology

However, each of these methods has its drawbacks, one of the principal being difficulty in coordinating rolling and blow drying, particularly when not done by a hairdresser.
Often times, the result of home styling is less than satisfactory particularly in the back of the head, when a person has to use an additional mirror.
As to the hair rollers, it is well known that most conventional hair rollers are formed from plastic with no hair bristles, which makes it difficult in achieving “natural” curls and waves.
As a result, the task of properly styling hair becomes frustrating and time-consuming.

first embodiment

[0037]Turning now to the drawings in more detail, numeral 10 designates the hair styling tool or assembly according to the invention. The assembly 10 comprises a plurality of generally cylindrical hair rollers 12 (only one such hair roller is shown in the drawings) and a handle 14 detachably securable to one hair roller 12 at a time. It will be understood that other hair rollers, with different diameters can be interchangeably secured in place of the hair roller 12 to the handle 14. Such hair rollers have similar construction and therefore reference will be made to a single hair roller 12 illustrated in FIGS. 1-3. A kit containing a plurality of hair rollers, hair clips (not shown) and a handle 14 can be provided according to one aspect of the invention.

[0038]The exterior of the roller 12 carries a plurality of bristles 17. The bristles 17 are designed to provide fuller and higher appearance to the styled hairdo.

[0039]In one aspect, the body of the roller 12 is formed from a heat-co...

second embodiment

[0047]Turning now to FIGS. 4-7, the hair styling tool assembly is shown designated by numeral 40. As can be seen in the drawing, the assembly 40 comprises a hair roller 42 and a handle 46. Although not shown, it will be understood that the kit contains a plurality of rollers 42, while reference will be made to a single roller 42. The roller 42 is also provided with a plurality of bristles 41 on its exterior surface and may be provided with a plurality of openings 59 for air circulation. In this embodiment, the roller 42 is provided with a central opening 43 which extends through a larger part of the roller 42. A pair of diametrically opposed transverse grooves 45 and 47 is formed in the central opening 43. The grooves 45 and 47 extend through a larger part of the central opening 43, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0048]The handle 46 has a gripping portion 48 and a roller engaging portion 50, which is affixed to the gripping portion 47. A pair of keys 51, 52 is secured on the exterior surface of...

third embodiment

[0051]Turning now to the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 8-11, the hair styling tool assembly is designated generally by numeral 60. The hair styling tool assembly 60 comprises a plurality of hair rollers 62 and a handle 64. The roller engaging portion 66 of this embodiment has a generally square or rectangular cross-section. A similar shape central opening 68 is formed in the hair roller 62. Magnets 67 and 69 are fitted into a contact end 70 of the roller engaging portion 66 and a transverse plate 71 of the roller 62.

[0052]The operation of the hair styling tool 60 is similar in many respects to the operation of the hair styling assemblies 10 and 40. In this embodiment, the rectangular configuration of the roller engagement portion 66 and the central opening 68 prevents rotation of the hair roller 62 about the roller engaging portion 66, while the magnets 67, 69 retain the hair roller 62 in engagement with the handle 64.

[0053]FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate still another embodimen...

Abstract

A hair styling tool kit has cylindrical hair roller(s) having bristles positioned on exterior thereof, an open proximate end, a closed distant end and an inner cavity. A magnet is fitted in the distant end of the hair roller, and a mating magnet is fitted in a roller engaging portion of the handle. The handle is configured to detachably engage the proximate end of the hair roller(s), one at a time, and facilitate rolling of hair on the hair roller(s). The magnets retain the hair roller engaged with the handle during the hair rolling process while rotation of the hair roller in relation to the handle is prevented.
