- The device as recited by US-D477, 111-S uses five so-called emitter wells. These contain quartz tubes for the production of infrared radiation and reflectors made from aluminum. These [reflectors] together with the correct positioning of the emitter wells with respect to each other will ensure the required heat distribution for dyeing, perm and conditioning treatments. In order for to give the maximum possible freedom of movement and a feeling of openness to a customer under the heat treatment device, the distance between the two emitter wells in the lateral arms should be approx. 18 in (460 mm). Furthermore, the arrangement includes one well in the neck region, one to the upper rear above the back of the head and one toward the upper front over the front of the customer's head.
- A substantial disadvantage of the above-described device is that the heat treatment results are unsatisfactory when relatively large curlers are used.
- The underlying object of the present invention is to produce a device of this same type that does not exhibit the above-described disadvantages.
