Abstract
A hair styling device includes an elongated first leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, a styling end and a handle end, and an elongated second leg pivotally secured to the first leg between an open and a closed position. The second leg has a top surface, a bottom surface, a styling end and a handle end. A plurality of teeth are disposed on at least one of the top surface of the first leg and the bottom surface of the second leg. Respective styling ends of the first and second legs are configured to nest together in the closed position to define a space on the styling end configured such that hair can flow freely through the space as the device is passed through a subject's hair.
Claims17
A hair styling device comprising:
- an elongated first leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, a styling end, and a handle end;
- an elongated second leg pivotally secured to said first leg between an open and a closed position, said second leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, a styling end and a handle end;
- a plurality of teeth on at least one of said top surface of said first leg and said bottom surface of said second leg;
- said respective styling ends of said first and second legs being configured to nest together in said closed position to define a space on said styling end configured such that some of the hair can flow freely through said space as the device is passed through a subject's hair, said space defined by a plurality of ridges, which extend generally transversely to a longitudinal axis of at least one of said first leg and said second leg and come into direct contact with some of the hair as said first and second legs are pressed together, thus providing selective braking of some of the hair as it flows through said space.
A heated hair styling device comprising:
- an elongated first leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, a styling end, a handle end, and a plurality of teeth on at least one of said top and said bottom surfaces;
- and
- an elongated second leg pivotally secured to said first leg between an open and a closed position, said second leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of teeth on at least one of said top and said bottom surfaces, said respective styling ends of said first and second legs being configured to nest together in said closed position to define a space configured such that hair can flow freely through said space as the device is passed through a subject's hair, said space defined by a plurality of ridges, which extend generally transversely to a longitudinal axis of at least one of said first leg and said second leg and come into direct contact with some of the hair as said first and second legs are pressed together, thus providing selective braking of some of the hair as it flows through said space;
- and
- a latching element for locking said first leg and said second leg together.

- an elongated first leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, a styling end, a handle end, and a plurality of teeth on at least one of said top and said bottom surfaces;
- and
- an elongated second leg pivotally secured to said first leg between an open and a closed position, said second leg having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of teeth on at least one of said top and said bottom surfaces, said respective styling ends of said first and second legs being configured to nest together in said closed position to define a space configured such that hair can flow freely through said space as the device is passed through a subject's hair, said space defined by a plurality of ridges, which extend generally transversely to a longitudinal axis of at least one of said first leg and said second leg and come into direct contact with some of the hair as said first and second legs are pressed together, thus providing selective braking of some of the hair as it flows through said space;
- and at least one heating element, located in at least one of said first and second legs.
