This invention relates to a hair styling device, a hair styling method, and a drive system suitable for use in the hair styling device. The invention relates in particular to a hair styling device (10; 210) for imparting a wave to a section of hair (36) without clamping the section of hair in the wave form. The device has a first forming member (24) and a second forming member (24) with a hair-receiving region (38) between the forming members. A driving member (20; 120) is movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member to deform the section of hair in the hair-receiving region. The driving member (20; 120) undertakes a two-stage movement as it deforms the section of hair, the driving member in a first stage being movable in a first direction (D1) to drive the section of hair (36) into the hair-receiving region, the driving member (20; 120) in a second stage being movable in a second direction (D2), the second direction being at an angle to the first direction whereby in use to further move the section of hair in the hair-receiving region (38).
A hair styling device for imparting a wave to a section of hair without clamping the section of hair to which the wave is imparted, the device having a first forming member and a second forming member comprising a first pair of neighboring forming members, a first hair-receiving region between the first forming member and the second forming member, the device having a second pair of neighboring forming members with a second hair-receiving region between the second pair of neighboring forming members, the device having multiple driving members including at least a first driving member and a second driving member, the first driving member being movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member to engage the section of hair and to deform the section of hair in the first hair-receiving region in use, the second driving member being movable relative to the second pair of neighboring forming members to engage the section of the hair and to deform the section of hair in the second hair-receiving region in use, the first and second driving members undertaking a two-stage movement as they deform the section of hair, the driving members in a first stage being movable in a first direction to drive the section of hair into the respective hair-receiving region in use, the driving members in a second stage being movable in a second direction, the second direction being at an angle to the first direction whereby in use to further move the section of hair in the respective hair-receiving region, in which at least one of the forming members has a plurality of upstanding forming elements which in use separate the section of hair into smaller sections of hair between respective forming elements.
A hair styling device for imparting a wave to a section of hair without clamping the section of hair to which the wave is imparted, the device having a first forming member and a second forming member comprising a first pair of neighboring forming members, a first hair-receiving region between the first forming member and the second forming member, the device having a second pair of neighboring forming members with a second hair-receiving region between the second pair of neighboring forming members, the device having multiple driving members including at least a first driving member and a second driving member, the first driving member being movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member to engage the section of hair and to deform the section of hair in the first hair-receiving region in use, the second driving member being movable relative to the second pair of neighboring forming members to engage the section of hair and to deform the section of hair in the second hair-receiving region in use, the first and second driving members undertaking a two-stage movement as they deform the section of hair, the driving members in a first stage being movable in a first direction to drive the section of hair into the respective hair-receiving region in use, the driving members in a second stage being movable in a second direction, the second direction being at an angle to the first direction whereby in use to further move the section of hair in the respective hair-receiving region, in which the driving members have a primary driving element which is adapted to drive the section of hair in a hair-deforming direction, the driving members also having a secondary driving element which is adapted to drive the section of hair in a direction opposed to the hair-deforming direction.
A method of imparting wave to a section of hair without clamping the section of hair, with a hair styling device having a first forming member and a second forming member comprising a first pair of neighboring forming members, a first hair-receiving region between the first forming member and the second forming member, the device having a second pair of neighboring forming members with a second hair-receiving region between the second pair of neighboring forming members, the device having multiple driving members including at least a first driving member and a second driving member, the first driving member being movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member, the second driving member being movable relative to the second pair of neighboring forming members, the first and second driving members undertaking a two-stage movement comprising the steps of:
