Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A steam curling iron having a tubular body with apertures therein, a heating element disposed in a heating chamber in the tubular body, and a fluid dispensing device mounted at one end of the tubular body including a reservoir for storing a fluid and a metering mechanism for supplying a metered quantity of the fluid from the reservoir to the heating chamber such that the heating element evaporates a predetermined amount of fluid for application through the apertures to hair wound around the tubular body.
  • the tubular body has axial depressions in the outer surface thereof with the apertures positioned in the axial depressions to emit steam tangentially of the tubular body, and a clip extends along the tubular body for holding the ends of a tress of hair wound around the tubular body, the clip being mounted in a housing at an end of the tubular body opposite the fluid dispensing device to be pivotally biased against the tubular body and to be movable away from the tubular body in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body to permit hair wound around the tubular body to be axially removed therefrom.
  • the present invention pertains to curling irons and, more particularly, to curling irons for steam treating hair wound therearound.
  • Prior art devices for curling hair such as heatable hair rollers heated in a separate electrical heating unit and then applied to the hair, while providing increased setting qualities, require a substantial period of time for setting and do not provide a curl with the permanence to withstand high humidity conditions.
  • Devices utilizing steam along with heat have been found to be superior to the above-mentioned heated hair rollers; however, such devices have not adequately controlled the amount of steam applied to the hair and, accordingly, have not been well accepted for use in setting curls.
  • Prior art steam curling irons have not been effective in producing permanent curl due to either thecontinuous application of steam during the setting process, or an unmetered application of steam to the hair to be set.
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,880,299 and 3,220,421 are exemplary of electrically heated curling irons using continuously emitted steam to enhance the setting of hair.
  • steam aids in plasticizing hair
  • the subsequent removal of all moisture in the hair solidifies the hair wound around the curling iron to impart a curl having greater permanence than curls obtainable with any other known methods not using chemical agents. Accordingly, the prior art curling irons using continuously emitted steam do not achieve optimum results.
  • 2,254,266 is exemplary of electrically heated curling irons dispensing unmetered quantities of steam to the hair to be set; however, while curls obtained with a curling iron have increased qualities when all moisture is removed therefrom, sufficient moisture must be supplied to the hair in order to initially set the curl in the dry wound hair.
  • the steam emitted should be within prescribed limits, and prior art devices have suffered from the disadvantage of providing uncontrolled and imprecise quantities of steam to hair during curling and setting.
  • human hair has a high insulating quality, the steam must be expelled from the heated curling iron under considerable pressure to contact all sections of the hair; and, accordingly, most prior art steam curling irons utilize apertures to emit steam radially from the curling iron.
  • the radial emission of steam has the disadvantage that contact of the steam with the skin of a user could burn or scald the user.
  • Another object of the present invention is to construct a steam curling iron with a fluid dispensing device for applying a metered quantity of fluid for evaporation and application as steam to hair wound around the curling iron thereby optimizing the use of steam in the setting of human hair.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to provide a device for setting curls in human hair in a very short period, approximately 10 seconds, while obtaining a curl having increased permanence even under high humidity conditions.
  • a further object of the present invention is to utilize a metering mechanism to dispense fluid to a heating chamber in a steam curling iron, the metering mechanism being mounted on an end of the curling iron to be easily operated.
  • the present invention has an additional object in the use of a clip on a steam curling iron to be pivotal to facilitate initial winding of hair to be set around the curling iron and to be movable in a direction transverse of the longitudinal axis of the curling iron to facilitate axial removal of the set hair from the curling iron.
  • Yet a further object of the present invention is to mount a clip on a steam curling iron such that the clip is pivotally biased against a hair winding portion of the curling iron to hold a tress of hair and movable from the hair winding portion to a position parallel to the hair winding portion but spaced slightly therefrom to facilitate removal of set hair wound around the curling iron.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to construct a steam curling iron to permit winding of hair to be set around a substantially cylindrical hair winding portion while the hair winding portion is heated to a temperature in the range of from 60 to C. and then the injection of a metered amount of vaporized fluid into the hair under pressure through small apertures in the hair winding portion such that the vaporized fluid will penetrate the hair shafts to act as a plasticizer and thereafter be removed by the heat from the hair winding portion within a period of from 5 to 15 seconds to set the hair to a new shape.
  • the present invention has another object in that vaporized fluid is emitted substantially tangentially from a steam curling iron by disposing apertures for emitting the vaporized fluid in the side walls of axial grooves in the curling iron.
  • Some of the advantages of the present invention over the prior art are that steam is applied in metered-quantities to hair wound around the steam curling iron, curls produced with the steam curling iron have increased permanence, particularly under high humidity conditions, curls can be set in hair in a very short period of time, approximately 10 seconds, set hair can be easily removed from the steam curling iron, the metering mechanism can be easily operated by a user, hair can be wound around the steam curling iron while it is hot, the reservoir can be easily refilled, and the structure of the steam curling iron is slim and compact with the fluid dispensing device disposed coaxially at one end of the steam curling iron.
  • the present invention is generally characterized in a steam curling iron including a tubular body defining a heating chamber therein and a hair winding portion surrounding the heating chamber and having apertures therein communicating with the heating chamber, a heating element disposed in the heating chamber, and a fluid dispensing device mounted at one'end of the tubular body and including a reservoir for storing fluid and a metering mechanism communicating with the reservoir and theheating chamber to supply a metered quantity of fluid to the heating chamber whereby a predetermined amount of vaporized fluid is applied through the apertures to hair wound on the hair winding portion.
