Abstract
A hairstyling apparatus having heating elements, and a sensor for determining voltage and/or current output of an electrical energy source, and outputting a signal indicative of the determined voltage and or/current output. Switching components are connected with the heating elements. The switching components are controlled to reconfigure current flows through the plurality of heating elements in reliance on the signal.
Claims25
A hairstyling apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of heating elements;
- a sensor for determining a voltage and/or current output of an electrical energy source, and outputting a signal indicative of the determined voltage and/or current output;
- and
- one or more switching components connected with the heating elements;
- wherein the hair-styling apparatus is configured such that the one or more switching components are controlled so as to reconfigure current flows through the plurality of heating elements at least partly in reliance on the signal.
