Abstract
A braid singeing clamp for singeing the end of a braid to prevent said braid from coming undone. The braid singeing clamp comprises a pair of pivotally connected clamping surfaces having grips on one end and heating elements on the opposite end. The heating surfaces are attached to each clamping element by a set of rings which are situated on the top portion of each surface. The rings slide over a tube portion of each clamping element, and secure the heating surfaces to the clamp. Alternatively, the heating surfaces may snap into sockets positioned on the tube portion of each clamping element. The heating elements are shaped to envelope the lower portion of the braid and provide heat only to the braid end.
Claims4
A braid singeing clamp comprising:
- a pair of clamping elements each having a proximal tube portion and a distal tube portion, the clamping elements are pivotally connected at a pivot point located between said distal tube portion and said proximal tube portion;
- a pair of grip portions for facilitating the process of forcing the proximal tube portion of each clamping element towards one another, one of the grip portions secured to the proximal tube portion of each clamping element;
- a pair of heating surfaces, one heating surface secured to the distal tube portion of each clamping element for singeing an end of a ponytail;
- a heating means for heating the heating surface comprising a heating coil located in an electric heating area in the distal tube portion of each clamping element;
- and
- an insulating coating cover extending the length of each clamping element, except for the heating area.
