Abstract
An appliance used for styling or shaping of fiber that is comprised of at least two heatable plates with a longitudinally extending gap between adjacent plates. The gap between the plates allows for increased function of the appliance. The appliance may be a hair straightener, a crimping iron, a curling iron, clothes iron or any other appliance that uses heated plates and is used to shape or style fibers.
Claims20
An apparatus for treating a fiber with heat comprising:
- a first longitudinally extending arm and a second longitudinally extending arm, each having a first end and a second end, the arms being hingedly connected to each other adjacent their respective first ends for movement between an open fiber receiving position and a closed fiber treating position;
- a heating area adjacent said second end of each arm, said heating area comprising at least two heatable surfaces and a non-heated area separating said at least two surfaces, said at least two heatable surfaces and said non-heated area being respectively opposed to one another when said arms are in said closed position thereof;
- and
- a power supply for supplying power to heat said heatable surfaces,
- wherein a fiber moving through said heating area when said arms are in said closed position is alternatively heated when traversing between said heatable surfaces and cooled when traversing said non-heated area.
An apparatus for treating fiber with heat comprising:
- a heating area having at least two heatable surfaces and a non-heated area separating said heatable surfaces;
- a power supply for supplying power to heat said heatable surfaces,
- wherein a fiber moving through said heating area is alternatively heated when traversing said heatable surfaces and cooled when traversing said non-heated area
A method of treating fiber comprising:
- passing the fiber across a first heated area;
- passing the fiber across a thermally cooler area;
- passing the fiber across a second heated area.
