Multiple hair setting roller heating apparatus having heating chamber enclosure with telescopic parts

An apparatus for heating multiple hair setting rollers, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a telescopic enclosure including
• (i) a lower housing body defining a receptacle for receiving and holding a quantity of water therein, said lower housing body having an open upper end, and
• (ii) an upper housing extension extending through and within said open upper end of said lower housing body and defining therewith a heating chamber, said upper housing extension being mounted to said lower housing body for undergoing sliding telescopic movement therealong toward and away therefrom between an upper extended condition wherein said upper housing extension substantially extends away from said lower housing body and together therewith defines said heating chamber having a first volume within said enclosure for containing a first plurality of hair setting rollers therein and a lower contracted condition wherein said upper housing extension substantially extends within said lower housing body and together therewith defines said heating chamber having a second volume within said enclosure smaller than the first volume for containing a second plurality of hair setting rollers therein less in number than the first plurality of hair setting rollers;
• (b) means disposed in said lower housing body of said telescopic enclosure for generating heat in said heating chamber of said enclosure;
• (c) means disposed in said telescopic enclosure for supporting the pluralities of hair setting rollers in said heated chamber of said enclosure at each of said extended and contracted conditions thereof;
• and
• (d) water level viewing window structure means recessed respectively in longitudinal side portions of said lower housing body and said upper housing extension, said window structure means in said upper housing extension being telescopically slidable relative to said window structure means in said lower housing body as said upper housing extension undergoes sliding telescopic movement relative to said lower housing body between said upper extended condition and lower contracted condition.

An apparatus for heating multiple hair setting rollers, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a telescopic enclosure including
• (i) a lower housing body defining a receptacle for receiving and holding a quantity of water therein, said lower housing body having an open upper end, and
• (ii) an upper housing extension extending through and within said open upper end of said lower housing body and defining therewith a heating chamber, said upper housing extension being mounted go said lower housing body for undergoing sliding telescopic movement therealong toward and away therefrom between an upper extended condition wherein said upper housing extension substantially extends away from said lower housing body and together therewith defines said heating chamber having a first volume within said enclosure for containing a first plurality of hair setting rollers therein and a lower contracted condition wherein said upper housing extension substantially extends within said lower housing body and together therewith defines said heating chamber having a second volume within said enclosure smaller than the first volume for containing a second plurality of hair setting rollers therein less in number than the first plurality of hair setting rollers;
• (b) means disposed in said lower housing body of said telescopic enclosure for generating heat in said heating chamber of said enclosure;
• and
• (c) a roller support assembly disposed in said telescopic enclosure for supporting the pluralities of hair setting rollers in said heated chamber of said enclosure at each of said extended and contracted conditions thereof, said roller support assembly including
• (i) a bottom platform disposed in said lower housing body of said enclosure,
• (ii) a first plurality of heat transmission rods connected on and extending upright from said bottom platform, said first rods being adapted to receive a first group of hair setting rollers thereover, and
• (iii) a second plurality of heat transmission rods mounted to said first rods to undergo telescopic sliding movement between lowered and raised positions relative to said first rods, said second rods being adapted to receive a second group of hair setting rollers thereover.

An apparatus for heating multiple hair setting rollers, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) an enclosure including
• (i) a lower housing body defining a receptacle for receiving and holding a quantity of water therein, said lower housing body having an open upper end, and
• (ii) upper means mounted to said open upper end of said lower housing body and defining a heating chamber with said lower housing body;
• (b) means disposed in said receptacle of said lower housing body of said enclosure for generating heat in said heating chamber of said enclosure;
• and
• (c) means disposed in said lower housing body of said enclosure above said receptacle for supporting a plurality of hair setting rollers in said heating chamber of said enclosure;
• (d) said lower housing body also having an upper annular sidewall, a lower annular sidewall disposed below and attached to said upper annular sidewall and a bottom cover attached to said lower annular sidewall, said lower annular sidewall and bottom cover defining said receptacle, said lower annular sidewall having an annular concave shape which defines a minimum diameter less than the diameter of said upper annular sidewall so as to define an annular recessed region surrounding said lower annular sidewall and underlying said upper annular sidewall within which is stored an electrical cord in a wrapped relation about said lower annular sidewall, said electrical cord extending through said lower housing body to connect with said heating means disposed therein.

An apparatus for heating multiple hair setting rollers, said apparatus comprising:

• a telescopic enclosure including a lower housing body and an upper housing extension telescopically mounted on said lower housing body;
• said lower housing body including a receptacle having an open upper end;
• said upper housing extension being telescopically mounted on said open upper end of said lower housing body for movement between an upper extended condition defining a first heating chamber with said lower housing body, said first heating chamber having a first volume, and a lower retracted condition defining a second heating chamber with said lower housing body, said second heating chamber having a second volume smaller than said first volume of said first heating chamber;
• a heat generating device disposed in said lower housing body;
• said lower housing body further including a base platform;
• and
• a first plurality of heat transmission rods each having a first end secured to said base platform and extending upwardly from said base platform in an upright orientation within said enclosure;
• said first rods being adapted to support a first plurality of hair setting rollers engaging over said rods in an upright orientation within said enclosure.
