Definitions
- the present invention relates to hair-styling devices and, more particularly, to heated irons having special shapes for specific styling applications.
- Various known hair styling devices having heated plates exist in different forms. Typically, they have generally flat, opposed plates for straightening, a single tube-shaped iron for curling, or a pair of non-flat, opposed surfaces for waves. It is desirable to provide a custom iron for more efficiently putting a wave or series of wave-like curls in the hair.

Abstract
A triple-barrel head device 10 for styling hair using heated barrels comprises of a first head 12 having a single barrel 24 adjacent to two barrel-receiving gutters 26, 28, and a second head 14 having two barrels 32, 34 aligned to be received in the gutters when the heads are closed together about a tuft of hair.
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/764,592 filed on Feb. 2, 2006, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to hair-styling devices and, more particularly, to heated irons having special shapes for specific styling applications.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Various known hair styling devices having heated plates exist in different forms. Typically, they have generally flat, opposed plates for straightening, a single tube-shaped iron for curling, or a pair of non-flat, opposed surfaces for waves. It is desirable to provide a custom iron for more efficiently putting a wave or series of wave-like curls in the hair.
- It is an object of the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art mentioned above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a heated styling tool for applying to the hair and imparting wave-like styling effects. It is a further object to provide a styling tool designed for ease of use, efficiency and safety. These and other objects are achieved by the present invention described herein.
- The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objects by utilizing a triple-barrel head comprised of a first head having a single barrel adjacent to two barrel-receiving gutters, and a second head having two barrels aligned to be received in the gutters when the heads are closed together about a tuft of hair.
- The present invention is more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment with the drawings identified below.
-
FIG. 1 is a top view of a styling device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the device shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the device shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a side view of the device shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 5 is a side perspective view of the device shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 6 is a top perspective view of the device shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 7 is a partial side view of the device shown inFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIGS. 1-6 , the present invention is directed to astyling device 10 having afirst head 12, asecond head 14, afirst handle portion 16, asecond handle portion 18, ahinge connection 20, and a lock assembly 22. - The
first head 12 comprises afirst barrel 24, afirst gutter 26, and asecond gutter 28. Thefirst handle 16 comprises alock button 30. Thesecond head 14 comprises asecond barrel 32 and athird barrel 34. Each of the barrels is adapted to be selectively heated by heating means and controls of a conventional type (not shown). Thefirst barrel 24 is aligned with agap 36 existing between the second andthird barrels heads first barrel 24 nests between the second andthird barrels third barrels second gutters first barrel 24. The heated barrels and/or the gutters may be made of metals, glass or ceramic, and may be coated with ceramics, porcelain, minerals or other performance-enhancing coatings, including those that emit ions and infrared energy. - The
hinge connection 20 is preferably spring-biased and is similar in construction to those conventionally known for flat irons. A locking assembly 22 as shown comprises a slideable hook 38 on thefirst handle 16 which is aligned with a loop 40 on thesecond handle 18 for selectively locking the handles in a closed position. Thelock button 30 is used to move the hook 38. Heat-insulatedtips - In use, a user turns the
device 10 on using an electrical switch of a conventional type (not shown) and adjusts the desired barrel temperature using acontrol dial 42. When the barrels are pre-heated, the user places a tuft of hair (not shown) between theheads - While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been herein disclosed and described, it is understood that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
