Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A steam curling iron is provided with a set of inter-changeable tubular curling mandrels, each of which is adapted to be slid onto the curling arm of the iron. The curling arm has an operative section constituted by a tubular barrel with a row of perforations in a lower region of the barrel to permit the escape of steam therefrom. The perforations are normally closed by a valve plate which is spring-biased to the closed position and which is displaced to the open position when a mandrel is slid onto the curling arm.

Description
105'~i56 BAC~GROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to equipment for c~lrling and setting hair by mean~ of curling mandrels of different diameters for winding curls of different sizes. The mandrels are removably mounted on the curling arm of a curling iron, which may alterna-tively be used in the conventional manner. Hitherto, curling mandrels for this purpose have been of metal, the hair being heated by conduction from the iron through the mandrel. Although it would be desirable to use such mandrels in association with steam curling irons, a serious difficulty is presented by the fact that the quantity of steam required for setting a curl wound on a mandrel is considerably greater than the ~uantity required from a steam iron used in the conventional manner. Therefore, the user of such an iron in the conventional manner without a mandrel runs the risk of being scalded.
An object of the present invention is to provide a steam curling iron which may be used in association with curling mandrels for setting curls with the assistance of steam or vapour, ' or may be used safely in the conventional manner without mandrels.
According to the present invention there is provided in combination with a steam curling iron having a curling arm and a clamping arm, the curling arm having an operative section consti-tued by a tubular barrel housing steam generating means, the clamping arm being adapted in the clamped position to engage a longitudinally extending upper region of the barrel, a tubular mandrel adapted to be mounted on said operative section of the curling arm. The mandrel has a perforate cylindrical wall of su~stantially larger diameter than the barrel and is formed with resilient arm engaging means interiorly of said wall, the arm 105~5~;
engaging means being frictionally engageable with the barrel and ~ lable therealong. The tubular barrel has a lower region formed with perforations to permit the escape of steam therefrom, and hou~3eY a valve member which is displaceable between a first position at which it closes the perforations to block the escape of ~team and a second position at which it undercovers the perfora-tions, the valve member being spring-biased to said first position.
The mandrel haQ an end portion which is engageable with abu~ment means connected to the valve member for displacing the valve member to the second position when the mandrel is mounted on said operative section of the curling arm.
~ he combination may include a single tubular mandrel or, preferably, a plurality of interchangeable mandrels of differ-ent diameters. Preferably the mandrel is a unitary molding of plastics material.
In order that the invention may be readily understood, one embodiment thereof will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the curling iron with ` 20 a mandrel mounted on its curling arm;
Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the mandrel and the end of the curling arm of the iron;
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the curling iron, without the mandrel, the curling arm being shown in section to sh~w internal structure;
Figure 4 is a sectional view of the operative section of the curling arm, with a mandrel mounted; and Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 in Figure 4.
1C~5;~656 Referring to the drawings, the curling iron comprises a hollow curling arm having an operative section constituted by a tubular barrel 10 of circular cross section and a hollow handle portion 11 of plastic. A conventional clamping arm 12 i8 pivot-ally mounted on the curling arm and is spring-biased to the clamped position by a torsion spring (not shown). The clamping arm 12 is provided at one end with a plastic handle portion 13, which can be operated by the thumb of a user holding the handle portion 12, for manipulating the clamping arm. The clamping arm is shaped to conform to the cylindrical shape of the barrel 10, and is adapted in the clamped position to co-operate with a longitudinally extending upper region of the barrel, when the mandrel i~ removed~
~ xtending axially within the tubular barrel 10 is a steam generating assembly comprising an elongated electric resis-tance heating element 14, this being encased within a metal sheath 15 having a number of grooves or channels 16 extending along the exterior of its lower portion. The encased heating element assem-bly 14, 15 is in turn encased within a tubular housing 17, the latter being ormed with three longitudinal rows of perforations 18 communicating with the grooves 16 so as to permit the passage of steam therefrom to an intermediate annular space or chamber 19 between the housing 17 and the interior surface of the barrel 10 .
The lower region of the barrel 10 i5 for~ed with rows of perforations 20 to permit the escape of steam from the space 19. In the configuration shown in Figure 3, the perforations 20 are closed by means of a valve or closure member 21, this being formed by an elongated, longitudinally slidable, plate of arcuate 10~ ;56 cross section having a longitudinal row of perorations 22 adapted to register with the perforations 20 of the barrel when the valve member is in the closed position. At one end of the valve member is an upstanding plate 23, to which is connected a headed shank 24, the shank extending through an end portion 25 of the curling arm 10 and being biased outwardly by a spring 26 for urging the valve member 21 into its closed position. The valve plate 21 is formed with a resilient lug 27 which engages the housing 17 of the heating element and urges the plate member into close engagement with the inner surface of the tubular barrel ; 10, as shown in Figure 3. It will be seen from Figure 3 that, when the iron does not carry a curling mandrel, the iron may be used in the conventional manner.
A tubular curling mandrel 28 i9 adapted to be mounted on the operative section of the curling arm of the iron, the mandrel having a perforate cylindrical wall of substantially larger diameter than the barrel 10. As shown, the mandrel is constructed as a cylindrical cage open at one end, the other end of the cage being closed by an end portion 29. This end portion is provided with a thimble-like extension 30 which is engageable over the end 25 of the tubular barrel 10. This thimble-like extension also provides an interior projection 31 which is adapted to abut against the end of the headed shank 24 and, as the mandrel is slipped onto the curling arm of the iron, dis-. ~
places the valve plate 21 from the closed to the open position.
With this configuration steam can escape through the perforations 20 into the interior of the mandrel 28. when the mandrel isxemoved, the valve plate is again returned to its closed position and so the iron can be used safely in the conventional manner.
105;~656 The mandrel 28 is preferably formed as a unitary mold-ing of plastics material. It is formed with a longitudinally extending upper region 2~a of arcuate cross section, this upper region being imperforate and, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, so positioned that the clamping arm engages along this region when in the clamped position. The mandrel i~ frictionally held on the clamping arm of the iron by means of a pair of arcuate, longitudin-ally extending, resilient flanges 33 projecting inwardly from the mandrel wall, the flanges engaging opposite sides of the operative section of the curling arm 10 so that the mandrel is slidable therealong.
The equipment may be provided with a plurality of man-drels 28 of different diameters, the mandrels otherwise being of the same con~truction and being interchangeable with one another.
It is envisaged that the curling iron may be used in a conventional manner, i.e. without the use of a mandrel, and without the application of steam or vapour for treating the hair. Alter-natively, the upper region of the barrel 10 may be formed with a row of perforations of substantially smaller area than the perfora-tions 20, these perforations permitting the flow o~ steam or vapour to the hair when a mandrel is not employed. Since the perforations 20 are closed in this ca~e, there is no danger of scalding. It will be noted that, when a mandrel is employed, the smaller perfora-tions along the upper regîon of the barrel 10 are covered by the mandrel.
