  • Hair-styling instruments such as portable hand-held hairdrying devices provided with means for discharging heated air outwardly thereof through attachments such as hair combs,
  • Certain hairdrying devices as used by women in the home for example are equippedwith a flexible hose hot air conduit detachably connected to a hair dryer hood and are provided with attachments for connection to the dryer hose when the hood is detached for dispersing the heated air to the interior of hair roller.
  • the user first winds a damp lock of hair about the outer surface of a hollow open-ended hair roller.
  • the end of the hair dryer hose is adapted to be brought into communication with or other wise coupled to the open end of the hair roller and heated air is dispersed into the interior of the roller and thence outwardly thereof to the exterior of the roller through slots in the roller wall. In this manner the lock of hair wound on the roller is dried and a tight curl is formed when the roller is removed from the hair.
  • Another object is to provide a novel hair-styling and curling attachment for a hair styler device and which attachment is adapted for ready manipulation in use in locating and entering a hair roller for curling hair wound about the roller.
  • a still further object is to provide a novel hair styling and curling attachment for a hair dryer and which attachment includes means for guiding the attachment into the interior of a hair roller.
  • the present invention contemplates a novel hair-styling device.
  • the device comprises an attachment for a hand-held hair dryer having means for generating and dispersing heated air.
  • the attachment comprises a conical-shaped probe member having tapered inwardly extending slotted sidewalls.
  • the conical casing is adapted for insertion into a hair roller and provided with means for controlling and venting the flow of heated air from the hair dryer outwardly of the hair roller through openings in the surface of the roller.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a portable hair styling and dryer device and to which device is attached one embodiment "of a novel hair-curling attachment incorporating the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged transverse cross-sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of FIG. 3 of the hair curler attachment showing the interior thereof and a fragmentary portion of the forward end of the hair styling and dryer device;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the hair curler attachment.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of hollow hair roller-and having inserted therein the haircurler attachment
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 1 a novel hair-curling device made according thereto is generally indicated by the reference numeral 10 and which device 10 is shown in FIG. 1 as connected to one end of a portable handheld hair styling and drying device whose casing is generally indicated by the reference numeral 11.
  • the hair dryer device of FIG. 1 is of a known type and includes within casing 11 thereof a motor 15, a fan 16, and a heating element 17, diagrammatically shown in FIG. 1.
  • the forward end of casing 11 is provided with a socket 19 (FIG. 2).
  • Socket 19 surrounds air discharge opening or outlet means 20 in casing 11.
  • Hair dryer devices of this type usually include a number of attachments adapted to be mounted on casing 11 in socket 19 such as brushes or combs (not shown) and which items when secured to casing 11 provide an extension thereof for styling and drying the user's hair.
  • Withappliance cord 2I (partially shown in FIG. I) connected to a suitable electrical outlet, motor 15 and fan 16, are operated to dispense heated air generated by heating element 17 outwardly through opening 20 onto the brush or comb (not shown).
  • tachment'l0 includes an elongated hollow open ended casing 22 made of a suitable plastic material.
  • Casing 22 includes an enlarged tubular-shaped base portion 23 (FIG. 2 and 4)'which conforms in configuration t0 the forward end of hair dryer casing 11 and is provided with an axial passage 20a communicating with opening 20 in casing 11.
  • An elongated conicalshaped probe portion 24 extends from base 23 and is provided with a plurality of elongated vent slots 25 extending from base 23 and circumferentially arranged around the probe and separated from each other by ribs 26 (FIGS. 3 and 4). Slots 25 terminate adjacent blunt end 27 (FIG. 4) of conical portion 24.
  • a plug portion 29 of reduced diameter to base 23 projects from base 23.
  • a pair of locking slots 30 (FIG. 3) are formed in plug 29 and each of which slots 30 (FIGS. 3 and 4) adapted 'for a twist locking engagement with a corresponding lug 31 base 36 and an open end portion 37.
  • a plurality of openings 38 are provided in the walls of roller 35.
  • hair roller 35 supports a damp strand of hair wound about the outer surface thereof as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 and is secured in position on the user's head in any suitable manner such as by a suitable clip member (not shown).
  • the length of time required to produce a curl varies with the hair texture and degree of wetness of the hair.
  • Conical shaped probe 24 provides ready means for locating and entering the open end of the hair roller.
  • Engagement of base 23 of casing 22 with base 39 (FIG. 5) of roller 35 limits the inward movement of conical portion.
  • the ends of slots 26 indicated at 40 in FIG. 5 extend into base 23 whereby slots 26 are not completely covered by roller 35 when a probe 24 is inserted therein.
  • Gently rotative movement of probe 24 in this engaged position about the interior of the roller 35 effects a turbulence of heated'air as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 6 which hastens the drying of the hair on the outer surface of the roller.
  • the novel hair-curling device has many advantages in use.
  • One advantage is that a novel probelike wand is provided for ready manipulation into and out of hair rollers whereby the same may be conveniently used with a number of hair rollers in the users hair.
  • the elongated vent slot arrangement provides for an efficient and effective dispersement of the heated air into the in terior of hair roller to produce curling and drying of the hair in a minimum amount of time.
  • vent means in said casing extending longitudinally along the length and arranged circumferentially around the axis thereof for discharging streams of heated air received in said casing from said outlet means around and along said elongated casing.
  • said elongated casing is conical-shaped having sidewalls tapering inwardly from the outlet means.
  • said vent means comprise a plurality of longitudinally extending elongated slots fonned in the sidewalls of said casing and circumferentially positioned in relation to one another.
  • a hair curler attachment adapted for connection to a hand-held hair styler device having heated air-operating means and an outlet opening for said heated air, said hair curler attachment comprising, g a. an elongated casing having a longitudinal axis,
  • said elongated casing extending a substantial length from sad outlet opening end and being of preselected dimensions to permit insertion of the substantially greater portion of the length thereof into different size hollow hair rollers, and
  • vent means and arranged around the longitudinal axis in said casing along the length thereof for discharging streams of heated air received in said casing from the orifice of said hair styler device.
  • said elongated casing is conical-shaped and provided with sidewall portions extending inwardly from said orifice and wherein the vent means comprise elongated venting slots in the sidewalls, said slots of length at least equal to the longitudinal length of the hair roller.
  • venting slots are spaced one from the other by narrow ribs, said ribs extending from the apex of said conical casing into the base thereof.
  • said means for detachably securing said hair curler attachment to said hair styler including ready releasable latch means having complementary portions on each of said casings.
  • said conical casing is provided with a base portion, a plug on one end of said base adapted for insertion into the outlet orifice of said hair styler, said latching means formed on said plug portion and adjacent surfaces of said hair styler, a plurality of ribs projecting outwardly from the other end of said base and tapering inwardly toward the apex of said casing and defining therebetween said elongated venting slots.
