Abstract
A hair curling device having an oven with a plurality of downwardly tapered heating chambers for receiving one or more hair curling irons. A clamp is pivotally mounted on the insulated handle of the curling iron so that the forward end of the clamp can be moved from an open position displaced from the forward heat conductive end of a forwardly tapered cone to a closed position abutting the cone throughout its length. A stop member on the forward end of the cone facilitates the retention of the hair during the curling process. The heating chamber has an open ended bore to enable the stop member to pass therethrough.
Claims11
A hair styling iron comprising in combination:
- a curling iron including a heat conductive cone mounted at a first junction to an insulated handle, and tapered from a first large diameter rear portion adjacent said handle to a second smaller diameter front portion;
- a stop member on the forward end of the cone including hair positioning means diametrically larger than and extending outwardly from said smaller diameter front portion for preventing small diameter curls from slipping off the cone during the curling process;
- a clamp including a heat conductive forward end shaped to fit against the outside of said cone, and connected through a second junction to a rear insulated actuating arm;
- and
- attachment means coupled between said curling iron and said clamp for movably connecting said clamp to said curling iron such that manual manipulation of said arm moves said forward end of said clamp between a closed position against said cone to an open position displaced from said cone to position the hair rearwardly of said stop member and between said clamp and said cone.
In the combination of a hair curling iron heated by a matching oven, wherein the curling iron includes a heat conductive cone mounted at a first junction to an insulated handle, and tapered from a first large diameter rear portion adjacent said handle to a second smaller diameter front portion, with a stop member on the forward end of the cone including hair positioning means diametrically larger than and extending outwardly from the smaller diameter front portion, the improvement comprising:
- an oven member for heating said curling iron, said oven member having an insulated casing having an opening in a wall therof, and downwardly extending heat conductive wall means formed from a unitary casting having an open ended tapered bore formed therein, said wall means attached to and extending inwardly of said casing from said opening and the bore thereof being so shaped as to receive and abut said cone and being so sized to allow the forward end of said cone and said stop member to pass through and protrude from said bore to transfer heat directly to said cone from said wall means when said cone portion of said curling iron is inserted through said opening into abutting engagement with said wall means, and further including means associated with said oven member for heating said wall means.

- and
- an oven member for heating said curling iron, said oven member having an insulated casing having an opening in a wall thereof, and downwardly tapered heat conductive wall means attached to and extending inwardly of said casing from said opening and being so shaped as to receive and abut said cone and said clamp to transfer heat directly to said cone and clamp from said wall means when said cone portion of said curling iron is inserted through said opening into abutting engagement with said wall means, and further including means associated with said oven member for heating said wall means.
