Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a hair curler with a special heating system. The hair curler has a conical member made of silicon with slits and a conical member made of ferro-magnetic material fitted inside the silicon conical member. The hair curler heater has an upper, middle, and lower housing with an induction coil, a control circuit, a resonant capacitor, a heat sink, and a colored heating indication panel. The hair curler heating system has a hair curler with a ferro-magnetic core, a plastic outer shell, an insulator, and a housing for receiving and heating it therein. The technical effects of this invention include improved heating efficiency, controlled temperature, and improved user experience.

Problems solved by technology

Having a small army of heated rollers in a heating station, whether at home or at a salon is dangerous to both professionals and the consumer.
The rollers can be upended or knocked over with the result of persons and items burned by the heated rollers.
Further, the heating station also heats up, which can also be a safety hazard for home use, especially if there are young children in the household.

example

[0034]It is to be understood that the following example of the present invention is not intended to restrict the present invention since many more modifications may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit thereof.

[0035]In operation, an embodiment of the present invention operates as follows. When the power supply is switched on and two pole switches are turned on, power is on shown by a red display. When a big or small heat conducting heating curler is put into the well, a micro-switch in the well will be activated. If any ferromagnetic material is detected, a green lamp will blink and send an acoustic signal and will apply a high-frequency alternating current to the inductors. A magnetic field will be thus be generated in the well. If there is ferromagnetic material within the range of magnetic field, high frequency eddy currents will be generated in the magnetic field. Under the effect of the eddy currents, the heat conducting hair curler containin...

Abstract

A hair curler heating system, is disclosed comprising a hair curler having a ferro-magnetic core, a plastic outer shell, an insulator therebetween, and a housing for receiving said curler and for heating it therein. The housing includes an induction coil, a control circuit operatively connected to the coil, a resonant capacitor operatively connected to the circuit, a heat sink connected to the capacitor, and a colored heating indication panel attached to the housing and operatively connected to the circuit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to a novel type of hair curler. Specifically, the present invention relates to a device and method for heating hair curlers. In particular, the present invention relates to an aesthetically pleasing system for professional and consumer use for heating rollers used for curling hair that is safe, easy, and quick to use.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventional hair curling roller sets usually have one base set with all of the rollers lined up in the heating station. Typically, one turns on the heating station and the entire set of rollers heat up at the same time. The rollers cannot be used until the maximum temperature has been reached, which can take from 2 to 5 minutes. Once the rollers are hot, they are removed from the heater and hair is round about them.[0005]Having a small army of heated rollers in a heating station, whether at home or at a salon is dangerous ...
