Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hair appliances and, more particularly, to an electrical hair-straightening device, especially of the type having heated plates with flocked edges to protect hair from being scraped or cut by the plates.
  • a hair-straightening device comprises a pair of opposing arms joined by a hinge, which enables the opening and closing of the arms.
  • Various controls can be used to turn the device on and off, as well as to set the temperature of the plates.
  • small metallic bezels may be crimped over and set around the angular edges of the plates.
  • opposing retaining channels can be extruded into the metallic frames and the plates can then be slid into the channels.
  • the retaining bezels and a portion of the plate edges can be flocked with nylon or other similar material. This would protect the hair from possible sharp and rough edges, while offering additional heated treatment surfaces. Furthermore, the flocking of the side mounting details also affords a neat and pleasing appearance.
  • the present invention is described in the preferred embodiments as directed to a hair-straightening device having heated plates with flocked edges to protect hair from being scraped or cut by the plates. It is understood, however, that the present invention is not limited to such applications and, as understood by one skilled in the art, may be adapted for application to other similar uses.
  • a hair-straightening device 10 comprises a pair of opposing arms 12, 14, which are joined at one end by a hinge 16.
  • the hinge 16 enables the opening and closing of the opposing arms 12, 14.
  • the opposing arms 12, 14 hold plates 20, 22, one plate in each arm, made of a material with properties for straightening the hair 18 of a user.
  • Between the arms and the plates are heaters 24, 26 that heat the plates 20, 22 to a temperature sufficient to straighten the hair. Power is supplied to the heaters 24, 26 through a cord set 28.
  • Various controls 30 can be used to turn the device on and off, as well as to set the temperature of the plates 20, 22.
  • the arms can be biased away from one another by a spring, as known to those skilled in the art.
  • small metallic bezels 32, 34 can be crimped over and set around the angular edges of the plates 20, 22.
  • opposing retaining channels 36, 38 can be extruded into the metallic frames and the plates 20, 22 can then be slid into the channels, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • Adhesive can be used to better secure the plates inside the channels.
  • the retaining bezels and a portion of the plate edges can be flocked with a nylon flocking 40, 42 or other similar material. This would protect the hair from possible sharp and rough edges, while offering additional heated treatment surfaces. Furthermore, the flocking of the side mounting details also affords a neat and pleasing appearance.
  • This flocking material can be applied by first placing some type of adhesive to the arms in order to allow the material to remain on the arms. This can be accomplished using glue, double-sided tape, spray adhesive, fastened with snaps, or any other method suitable for this purpose. The fabric material can then be cut to the appropriate size and pressed onto the arms having adhesive. In another embodiment of the present invention, the flocking material can be sprayed on.
  • This flocking material can be made of nylon, felt or any other material that would protect hair from being scraped or cut, while at the same time not hindering heat from being transferred to the hair. This flocking could be placed on one or both arms of the device.
  • the plates 20, 22 can be made from any conductive material such as metal, ceramic, or in one embodiment of the present invention, glass.
  • conductive material such as metal, ceramic, or in one embodiment of the present invention, glass.
  • hard glass creates a burnishing effect on the hair and improves the straightening.
  • a user of the device would grasp the arms 12, 14 on the side of the hinge 16 and set the controls 30 to the desired temperature. The user would then place the hair 18 between the plates 20, 22 having the flocked edges 40, 42, and close the arms 12, 14 onto the hair 18. The user would then repeatedly slide the plates 20, 22 from the root side of the hair to the tip side of the hair. This would straighten the hair, as well as create a burnishing effect upon it.
