Abstract

A curling iron is provided including a first leg with a bottom surface and a second leg with a top surface, the bottom and top surfaces being in opposed relationship to each other and having a nested convex/concave shape. In the preferred embodiment, both of the legs are heated. Also, in one embodiment, the first leg is biased against a second leg, and a release lever is provided for selectively overcoming the biasing force and separating said legs. In another embodiment, the first leg is pivotable relative to the second leg, and a clamp lever is provided for controlling the pivoting action.

Description

A kind of curling tongs that have recessed/protruding heating surface

Technical field

The application relates to a kind of utensil of hair style design, especially curling tongs.

Background technology

The conventional roll hair clamp that consumer and professional stylist use adopts is the reel that the clip that do not heat is close to heating.Clamping and press to the hair of reel can finalize the design by user and stylist's needs with clip.Often use the action of rotation and distortion for the hair style that obtains wanting.

In some cases, it is difficult using the conventional roll hair clamp, obtains slight turnup or wave as using the conventional roll hair clamp at the hair tip.In other cases, be difficult to use same curling tongs stretching and progressive turnup or wave be provided.

Like this, just exist the demand to such curling tongs, these curling tongs can obtain progressive turnup or wave at the hair tip, also can be in the local hair straightening of needs.And also having a kind of demand is that curling tongs can create banded hair style.

Summary of the invention

Curling tongs of the present invention have satisfied above-mentioned needs or have surmounted the demand, and its feature is that a pair of clamp arm or clamping clip are arranged, and wherein each all is heated.In addition, the corresponding apparent surface of clamping clip is at the nested recessed/nonreentrant surface of textural formation, has convex shape on one of them surface and is contained in another lip-deep female shapes.

Another feature of curling tongs of the present invention is that two apparent surfaces do not have barrier, as tusk, and bulge, rib or bristle.Like this, these surfaces are level and smooth so that promote the clamping/hair-waving on lock to move.These curling tongs are used for hair straightening in design, and, when curling tongs when stroking mobile end in the terminal fine rotation of hair, be used for providing little turnup at the hair tip.Send out thread and be sandwiched in the middle of the clamping clip and curling tongs are being stroked when rotating during moving when one group, just produce banded hair style for the thread of sending out that is clipped.

The specific embodiment

See figures.1.and.2, the hair style design device is generally represented with 10, is in closure state, and it comprises first arm 12 of elongated normally tubulose and second arm 14 of elongated normally tubulose.First arm 12 has upper surface 16, lower surface 18, design end (styling end) 20 and the pommel 22 relative with designing end.Second arm 14 has upper surface 24, lower surface 26, design end 28 and the pommel 30 relative with designing end.These two pommels all link to each other with handle 32.More commonly in the prior art, first arm 12 is fixed on the handle 32 pivotly so that pivot around transverse pivot fulcrum 34.Second arm 14 is fixed to stretch out vertically with respect to handle 32, and this is known in the prior art.

Preferably, in curling tongs 10, first arm in spring 35 (Fig. 1) effect down towards 14 deflections of second arm, so that sending out between, corresponding lower surface 18 relative to being clipped in and the upper surface 24 applies clamping force in detail.For

opening arm

12,14, on first arm 12, release lever 36 is set.Downward pressure on release lever 36 overcomes forces first arm 12 to press the deflecting force of second arm 14, and mentions first arm with respect to second arm.

At closure state, as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, corresponding upper surface 16 and lower surface 26 form and are generally columniform shape, and

corresponding design end

20,28 forms and is generally columniform shape, and the columniform diameter that its diameter

specific surface

16,26 forms is little.Preferably,

design end

20,28 is made by heat proof material so that grip for the person of having made.The end 38 of handle 32 is provided with the mains cord 40 that has plug 42 and select on/off switch device 44.The length of mains cord 40 is contemplated that variable to be used being suitable for.Flexible cord 40 preferably can rotate on handle 32.

Referring now to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the key character of

arm

12,14 is that the relative respective lower 18 of each arm forms nested recessed/protruding relation with upper surface 24.Surface 18 is concave surfaces in the preferred embodiment, and surface 24 is convex surfaces, considers yet also can instead cross.Referring to Fig. 3, each

arm

12,14 preferably generally has " D " shape cross section.Another feature of

arm

12,14 is,

surface

16,18,24 and 26 all is smooth, and without any bristle, rib, projection or other may stop the barrier of

arm

12,14 by moving on the hair.Another preferred feature of

arm

12,14 is, they are positioned at each heating element heater 46 heating in separately the

inner chamber

48,50 respectively.As knowing in the existing curling tongs technology, the position of heating element heater 46 can change to be suitable for different application scenarios.Yet, under the condition of the nested recessed/convex form that keeps

apparent surface

18,24, also can consider as in the conventional roll hair clamp, in the

arm

12,14 one of them heated.Need, optional bracing frame 52 (Fig. 2) can be provided, it preferably rotates around pivot point 34.

Referring now to Fig. 4, the total usefulness 60 of curling tongs among another optional embodiment of the present invention is represented.The parts identical with curling tongs 10 of curling tongs 60 use identical Reference numeral.Curling tongs 10 have first arm 12 by spring deflection with 60 main different being, curling tongs 10, unless for example make release lever 36 engagements with user's thumb, first arm 12 clamps second arm 14.In curling tongs 60, be well known that in curling iron that equally also first arm 62 of pivot is not to 64 deflections of second arm such as Marcel, wherein, the user provides any deflection pressure.In order to realize this operation, first arm 62 links to each other with clamping bar 66.Draw clamping bar 66 curling tongs 60 can be placed closing position towards handle 32.

Referring now to Fig. 5, another embodiment of curling tongs 10 represents that first arm 72 that has upper surface 74 and lower surface 76 is wherein arranged with 70, has second arm 78 of upper surface 80 and lower surface 82.Curling tongs 10 and 70 main differences are that the lower surface 76 of first arm 72 is convex surfaces, and the upper surface 80 of second arm 78 is concave surfaces.Therefore, nested recessed/protruding relation has been reversed among Fig. 3.

When operation, the user places one group and sends out thread between

apparent surface

18,24, and under the situation of using curling tongs 10, the light release lever 36 of pressing, and under the situation of using curling tongs 60, gently pinch clamping bar 66, at this moment, curling tongs 10,60 can be clamped the thread of sending out of catching, and are free to slide to the mode of making a start to stroke from scalp simultaneously.Applying bigger clamping force on the hair of catching can carry out stretching.For example, in the process of stroking, hold up user's wrist, rotate curling tongs 10,60, can make hair add volume with this.Clamp more tightly when stroking and to produce banded effect.It is various in the past with the unavailable hair style of conventional roll hair clamp that the combination of recessed/nonreentrant surface, dual-heated and adjustable clamp compaction forces allow the user obtain.If hair twines around curling tongs 10,60, hair can be configured as " O " shape.

Illustrated and described the specific embodiment that has the curling tongs of recessed/protruding heating surface of the present invention at this, one skilled in the art will appreciate that under the situation that does not depart from more wide in range viewpoint of the present invention, can change and change these embodiment.
