Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair curling tong, of a specific design.
  • electrical hair curling tongs comprise a tube body that can be heated, equipped with a movable clamp, to grasp a lock of hair between the tube body and the clamp and hold it while the curling tong is rotated to wind the hair in a curly shape after a few moments of heating the hair. The lock of hair is then released, now in a curly shape.
  • a disadvantage of this kind of traditional electrical hair curling tongs is that the complete curling tong needs to be rotated, which makes it difficult to hold the curling tong in a fixed position and to avoid burns to the head skin by the heated tube body.
  • the present invention provides a hair curling tong with a fixed handle and a heated tube body fixed thereto provided with a clamp that is fixed in a tilting way to the curling tong and can be tilted between a closed position wherein the clamp is held in contact with the tube body by means of a button activated spring and an open position wherein the clamp is tilted away from the tube body, characterized in that the clamp is fixed in a rotatable way to the curling tong by means of a ring which is rotatable over 360°around the longitudinal axis of the tube body.
  • An advantage of such a curling tong is that the complete curling tong no longer needs to be rotated, which makes it easier to hold the curling tong in a fixed position and to avoid burns to the head skin by the heated tube body.
  • the ring is realized as a bush with a cylindrical grip, situated adjacent to the fixed handle and rotatable with respect to the fixed handle by fingers of the same hand that holds the fixed handle.
  • the advantage of the cylindrical grip is that it can be rotated by two fingers and that the movements needed to curl the hair are minimal, while the curling tong can be held steady with the same hand. In this way, strain in the hand and arm of the operator is avoided, and the curling operation is speeded up and moreover the curling operation requires only one hand which means that the other hand is now free for other manipulations.
  • the grip is preferably made of a thermally insulating material, such as a silicone.
  • the clamp is made of a metal, or of a synthetic thermally resistant material.
  • the advantage of the clamp made in such a material is that its shape and function are not affected by the heat of the heated tube body.
  • the clamp can be closed or opened by releasing or pushing a button.
  • the heated tube body has a circular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • the heated tube body surface has a knurled circular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis so that the tube body surface shows ribs and grooves stretching in the longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • the curling tong 1 shown in figures 1 and 2 comprises a fixed handle 2 consisting of two parts 2a and 2b, between which is held a PCB board 3 with a switch 4 and a switch cover 5 linked to an electrical cord 6, and is also held one end of a connect axis 7, on which a rotatable element 8 is mounted carrying two halves 9a,9b of a bush 9, held together by a ring 10 and by a bush shaped cover 11.
  • a tube body 12 is further fixed by means of a screw connector 13, that is fixed to the tube body by means of a small locking screw 14.
  • the tube body 12 comprises two heating elements 22 and the tube body 12 is capped at its end with a tip cover 15 with its fixing pad 16.
  • the bush 9 formed by two half bushes 9a,9b together with the bush shaped cover 11 constitute a rotatable element 8 on which the clamp 17 is fixed.
  • a turning spindle 18 at the base of the clamp 17 allows the clamp 17 to tilt from a closed position in contact with the tube body 12 to an open position whereby the clamp 17 is tilted away from the tube body 12.
  • the clamp 17 is held in a closed position by means of a spring 19a with its spring fixer 19b, mounted between the base of the clamp 17 and the rotatable element 8 on which the clamp is fixed.
  • the clamp 17 can be opened with a button 20 covered with a silicone button cover 21.
  • the heating elements 22 are connected to the main supply by means of the electrical cord 6.
  • the heating of the tube body 12 is switched on by the switch 4 on the fixed handle 2.
  • the clamp 17 is tilted upwards as shown by arrow A in figure 3 by pressing the button 20 in direction B in figure 3 , in order to overcome the action of spring 19a, and a lock of hair is inserted between the clamp 17 and the tube body 12, after which the button 20 is released so that the clamp 17 is closed due to the action of the spring 19a.
  • the clamp 17 is now rotated around the longitudinal axis X-X' of the tube body 12 by rotating the ring 10 between thumb and index finger. During this rotation the clamp 17 is held in close contact with the tube body 12 by means of the spring 18 and is revolved around the tube body 12 so as to wind the lock of hair 23 around the heated tube body 12, while holding the fixed handle 2 and the tube body 12 attached to it in a fixed position.
  • the ring 10 can rotate 360° and more so that when the ring 10 is rotated, the lock of hair 23 is curled around the tube body 12 in multiple windings as shown in figure 4 , during which the lock of hair 23 is heated by the tube body 12 which results in fixing a curly pattern in the lock of hair 23.
  • the clamp 17 is tilted up again by pressing the button 20, thereby releasing the curled lock of hair 23 without moving the tube body 12 itself.
  • the tube body 12 is of a cylindrical shape with a circular cross-section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis
  • the heated tube body 12 with a circular cross-section will result in evenly curled hair, while a knurled circular cross-section will result in a extra wavy curl of the treated hair.
  • the bush shaped cover 11 capable of rotating the clamp 17, can be realized in a skid-proof material, such as a silicone or in other materials, with a finishing that is not smooth.
  • the invention also concerns an accessory that can be used with the curling tong 1.
  • the accessory is represented in figure 5 in the form of a thermally insulating mat 24, equipped with supports 25 for supporting the curling tong 1.
  • the mat 24 is equipped with two sideways extending flaps 26a,26b while this edge together with the flaps 26a,26b are provided with one part of a zipper 27a that can cooperate with a second part of a zipper 27b that is provided on the remaining part of the edges of the insulating mat 24.
  • this insulating mat 24 is twofold.
  • a first function of the insolating mat 24 is to be able to support the curling tong 1 so that when the tong 1 is hot, the underlying structure is protected against burns.
  • a second function of the insolating mat 24 is that this mat can be folded around the tong 1 to create a thermally protective case 28 that can be closed by the above mentioned zipper 27 and that allows to move the curling tong without getting burnt.
