Abstract
In one embodiment, a hair lightening wand is provided, which includes an upper arm and lower arms having upper and lower heating plates, respectively. The arms are pivotally connected by a hinge. The upper and lower heating plates are separated by a gap of a fixed distance along an entire length of the upper and lower heating plates when the upper and lower arms are in a fully closed position. The gap between the upper and lower heating plates is unobstructed in a direction transverse to the upper and lower arms along a length of the upper and lower heating plates.
Claims21
A hair lightening wand comprising:
- a) an upper arm comprising an upper heating plate;
- b) a lower arm comprising a lower heating plate;
- c) a hinge pivotally connecting the upper arm and the lower arm;
- d) wherein the upper and lower heating plates are separated by a gap of a fixed distance along an entire length of the upper and lower heating plates when the upper and lower arms are in a fully closed position;
- and
- e) wherein the gap between the upper and lower heating plates extends all the way through the upper and lower arms and is unobstructed in a direction transverse to the upper and lower arms along a length of the upper and lower heating plates so as to allow hair to pass through unrestricted and untouched through the upper and lower arms when the upper and lower arm are in the fully closed position.

A hair lightening wand comprising:
- a) an upper arm and a lower arm pivotally connected at a handle end;
- b) the upper arm comprising an upper heating plate and the lower arm comprising a lower heating plate at a head end;
- c) a spacer between the upper arm and the lower arm to limit a minimum distance between the upper and lower arms so as to provide a gap at the minimum distance between the upper and lower arms at the head end;
- d) wherein the upper and lower arms are constructed such that the upper and lower arms are substantially parallel at the head end;
- e) wherein the gap is unobstructed across the head in a direction transverse to the upper and lower arms along a length of the upper and lower arms in the head end;
- and
- f) wherein the gap extends all the way through the upper and lower arms so as to allow hair to pass unrestricted and untouched through the upper and lower arms and without being pressed against the upper or lower heating plates when the upper and lower arms are in a fully closed position.

A hair lightening wand comprising:
- a) an upper arm and a lower arm pivotally connected with a hinge at a handle end;
- b) the upper arm comprising an upper heating plate and the lower arm comprising a lower heating plate at a head end;
- c) a spacer between the upper arm and the lower arm to limit a minimum distance between the upper and lower heating plates so as to provide a working gap at the minimum distance between the upper and lower heating plates at the head end, the spacer being located between the hinge and the upper and lower heating plates;
- d) a spacer receiver opposing the spacer and configured to receive the spacer therewithin;
- e) a handle at the handle end, the spacer and the receiver being located in an interior portion of the handle end spaced away from lateral edges of the handle;
- f) wherein upper and lower arms are constructed such that the spacer between the upper arm and the lower arm limit a minimum distance between the upper arm and the lower arm between the handle to provide a handle gap between the upper and lower arms at the handle end surrounding the spacer;
- g) wherein the upper and lower arms are constructed such that the upper and lower heating plates are held substantially parallel across area working gap at the head end when the upper and lower arms are closed;
- and
- h) wherein the spacer and the upper and lower arms are constructed such that the spacer limits the minimum distance between the upper and lower heating plates such that the working gap passes all the way through the upper and lower arms so as to allow hair to pass through without being contacted when the upper and lower arms are in a fully closed position.
