Abstract
A catalyst combustion curling device comprises a handle interiorly provided with a liquefied gas tank; a heating barrel mounted on the handle to serve as a curling iron member or a member for mounting the teeth of a comb; a combustion valve provided on the liquefied gas tank; a catalytic member for combusting a liquefied gas from the combustion valve within the heating barrel; and an ignition device for the liquefied gas and an operator on the side of the handle to open and close the combustion valve.
Claims18
A catalyst combustion curling device, comprising:
- a handle;
- a liquefied gas tank disposed within said handle;
- a heating barrel mounted on said handle to serve as one of a curling iron and a member for mounting the teeth of a comb;
- a combustion valve provided on said liquefied gas tank;
- a catalytic member disposed within said heating barrel for combusting liquefied gas supplied through said combustion valve;
- a piezo-electric device having a first electrode disposed within said handle and to the side of said liquefied gas tank;
- a nozzle member disposed in said handle and in communication with said liquefied gas tank via said combustion valve;
- a second electrode disposed within said handle and in spaced relation to said nozzle member and proximate said first electrode of said piezo-electric device to generate therebetween a discharge spark for ignition of liquefied gas;
- an operator accessible actuator mounted for motion with respect to said handle;
- an ignition lever, coupled to said actuator, operatively connected to said combustion valve and said piezo-electric device, and mounted for rotary motion with respect to said handle in response to motion of said actuator, said ignition lever having two ends, and a cam-like portion intermediate said two ends that is rotatable for opening and closing said combustion valve, said lever having one of said ends operatively connected to said actuator for initiating rotation thereof, and having the other of said ends operatively connected to said piezo-electric device to produce said spark upon rotation of said ignition lever by means of said actuator.
