Abstract
A hair styling iron includes a housing, a mandrel extending longitudinally from the housing, the mandrel having a proximal end adjacent to the housing, and a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a plurality of light emitting elements within the mandrel. The plurality of light emitting elements are light emitting diodes that emit light having a wavelength between about 620 to about 750 nm. A cross-sectional area of the mandrel at the proximal end is greater than the cross-sectional area of the mandrel at the distal end.
Claims20
A hair styling iron, comprising:
- a housing;
- a mandrel extending longitudinally from the housing, the mandrel having a proximal end adjacent to the housing, and a distal end opposite the proximal end;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting elements within the mandrel, the plurality of light emitting elements being arranged in at least two linear arrays;
- wherein the plurality of light emitting elements are light emitting diodes that emit light having a wavelength between about 620 to about 750 nm;
- and
- wherein a cross-sectional area of the mandrel at the proximal end is greater than the cross-sectional area of the mandrel at the distal end;
- wherein the mandrel is formed from glass and is both light and radiation transmissive over an entire circumferential outer surface of the mandrel.
A hair styling iron, comprising:
- a housing;
- a mandrel extending longitudinally from the housing;
- a first linear array of light emitting elements within the mandrel;
- and
- a second linear array of light emitting elements within the mandrel;
- wherein the first linear array and second linear array are parallel and arranged to emit light out of opposing sides of the mandrel away from one another and in opposite directions.
A hair styling iron, comprising:
- a housing;
- a mandrel extending longitudinally from the housing;
- a first linear array of light emitting elements within the mandrel;
- and
- a second linear array of light emitting elements within the mandrel;
- wherein the first linear array and second linear array are angled with respect to one another such that the first linear array and the second linear array are not parallel, and are arranged to emit light out of opposing sides of the mandrel away from one another and in opposite directions.
A hair styling iron, comprising:
- a housing;
- a mandrel extending longitudinally from the housing;
- a light tube within the mandrel;
- a first light emitting element positioned at a proximal end of the light tube and configured to emit light into the light tube;
- a second light emitting element positioned at a distal end of the light tube and configured to emit light into the light tube;
- and
- wherein the light tube is devoid of light emitting elements intermediate the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element.
