Definitions

  • a hair shaping lnstrumen t, mcludmg a handle and a shaping board projecting from the handle having a 5 References Cited concave surface on one side and a convex surface on UNITED STATES PATENTS the other side, the board being heated to shape hair.
  • This invention relates to hair grooming apparatus and more particularly to hair shaping instrument.
  • SUMMARY My invention in a preferred embodiment, consists of a shaping board having a transverse curvature with an outer concave surface and an inner convex surface.
  • the shaping board has a heating coil embedded therein and has-a handle projecting from one end of the board.
  • Heat setting means are also provided.
  • the board is kept thin so that the longitudinal edges of the board may also be used in shaping of the hair.
  • I provide a water vapor dispenser in the handle together with means for dispensing water, preferably in a fine spray to dampen the hair before shaping.
  • I provide sleeve devices which are capable of being attached to the shaping board and being heated thereby.
  • the sleeve devices may be equipped with surface curvatures other than the curvatures of the board or with raised areas for emperssing designs into the hair being shaped.
  • I have also provided a shaping board which is attachable to another heated device, such as for example, presently commercially available heated combs or the like.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the shaping instrument of my invention being applied to the hair of a person.
  • FIG. 2 is a side plan view, partially in section, of one embodiment of my invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective exploded view of another embodiment of the hair shaping instrument of my invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of a portion of the embodiment of FIG. 3 equipped with a secondary sleeve.
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 illustrating yet another type of sleeve.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a heating pad modification of my invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a top plan view with underlying portions illustrated by broken lines of a hair shaping instrument according to this invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view taken along lines VIII- VIII of FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the hair shaper 10 of my invention as being applied to the hair 11 of a human to shape it.
  • the hair shaping instrument 10 consists of a plate 12 with a handle 13 attached thereto.
  • the plate has a convex outer surface 14 on a top side or outer surface 15 thereof, and a concave outer surface 16 on a bottom or inner surface 17 thereof, the entirety of the plate being arcuately curved transverse of the major linear dimension or the length of the plate.
  • the handle 13 projects from an end 19 of the plate lengthwise of the plate 11.
  • the plate is relatively thin and has a looped heating coil 20 embedded therein, the coil being controlled by a thermostat 21 located on the handle with an electric cord 22 extending from the end of the handle and adapted to be plugged into a suitable electric source outlet.
  • a thermostat 21 located on the handle with an electric cord 22 extending from the end of the handle and adapted to be plugged into a suitable electric source outlet.
  • the surfaces 14 and 16 are smooth and uninterrupted from side edge 25 to side edge 26, the side edges being defined by a radius curvature to provide relatively sharp edges.
  • the hair styling instrument 10 is used as follows:
  • the hair is first fluffed out and then made soft and pliable by lightly dampening with water or a suitable hair solution. Thereafter the hair may be combed into a general style as desired including, if required, a further fluffing. Generally the hair is fluffed to a larger size than the final intended coiffure. While the hair is still damp, the shaping instrument is applied, as illustrated in FIG. 1 to the outer surface of the hair. The thermostat 21 is set to the desired heat and the shaping board 11 is applied with very litter pressure. The shaping board is then capable of shaping the outer surface to a smooth contoured coiffure. Both the concave and convex surfaces are normally used in the creation of a single hairstyle.
  • the outer surface of the main portion of the body of hair as at 30 would normally be shaped with the concave board. However, at other areas, such as at the bottom of the back of the head as indicated at 31, a convex curvature is desired and the surface 14 will be used. Because the board 11 has smooth surfaces 14 and 16, the hair shaping instrument of my invention is capable of providing a continuous contoured coiffure surface consisting of a continuous free flowing curvature of differing radii and opposing contours. Where it is desired to provide a sharply defined-change in contour, the edges and 26 can be used to style and shape the'hair and are most practical in the creation of waves in straight hair.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 A modified form of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 wherein the handle 13b is sized to provide a water storage compartment.
  • a spray nozzle 40 projects from an end face 41 of the handle adjacent the shaping board 12b.
  • An actuating button or the like 43 on the handle is effective to impart a water vapor spray for spraying the hair of the user. In this manner, the hair may be kept moist during the shaping operation.
  • By using a fine nozzle 40 it will be assured that the water sprayed on the hair will not be of an amount sufficient to adversely effect the coiffure, but will be adequate to keep the hair properly damp as each section of the head is shaped.
  • This addition is extremely convenient inasmuch as dry hair is very difficult to shape and style.
  • the nozzle is illustrated as 160 surfaces with a central longitudinally extending opening 50.
  • the opening 50 is sized to receive an independently heated device having a handle 52 attached thereto.
  • a heated comb 51 is illustrated.
  • Devices of this nature are commercially available wherein the handle is equipped with a heat control switch 53 for heating the comb blade 51.
  • the shaping board 12c out of a heat conductive material, as is preferred in all embodiments, insertion of the comb blade 51 into the properly sized opening 50 will create a hair shaping instrument according to this invention which has a dual purpose in that the utility of the comb is unimpaired'in that it may be removed from the hair shaping board 12c.
  • Another feature is that the triangular shapeof the opening 50 4 and of the comb combine to prevent rotation of the board or plate 120.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate an accessory device for use with the hair shaping instrument of my invention.
  • the device consists of a full 60 or partial 61 sleeve which is receivable on the hair shaping board 12, 12b, or 12c.
  • the sleeve 60, 61 consists of an elongated piece of metal adapted to be slipped over the board and having an under surface 63 in contact with the surface of the as an individual sleeve having convex 14c and concave board so that the sleeve will be heated with the board.
  • the sleeve may have an outer surface 64 which has a contour or shape different than that of the board 12, 12b, or 120 so that the modified hair shaping instrument with the sleeve can function to create differing contours than that of the board itself.
  • the sleeve may have raised portions 65 thereon for impressing designs into the hair.
  • the sleeve may have a raised floral design for impressing a floral design into the hair if desired.
  • the design may be a simple peak as at 66 for impressing a straight groove into the hair in the manner of a part line. The use of the sleeve increases the flexibility of the coiffure creating characteristics of my hair shaping instrument, while maintaining the advantages of the simple concave-convex design.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a modified sleeve 70 which is equipped with slots 71 adjacent opposite longitudinal edge 72 of the sleeve.
  • the slots can receive, for example, straps 73 which allow the sleeve and the hair shaping board, which is inserted therein, to be affixed to the human body in the manner of a heating pad or the like.
  • the sleeve in this instance could be equipped with a soft surface material.
  • the slots 71 could be provided initially in the hair shaping board if desired ratherthan in a sleeve.
  • my invention provides a uniquehair styling instrument having a styling board with convex and concave surfaces, the board being equipped with means for heating the surfaces to a desired temperature and the board being attached to a handle which is unheated.
  • Various modifications of the basic invention are suggested including the addition of water spray means as a part of the handleand means for separating the hair shaping board from a separate heated device such as a heated comb and handle.
  • attachments for use with the hair shaping board to increase its versatility while retaining its hair styling function.
  • the hair shaping board has a sleeve received at least partially therearound, the sleeve having an underside surface in contact with a surface of the board and an outer surface having a contour different than the contour of the surfaces of the board said outer surface comprising a hair contacting and shaping surface.
  • a hair shaping instrument comprising in combination: a hair shaping board having opposed convex and concave surfaces with longitudinal edges extending between the surfaces, the longitudinal edges formed as radius bends having a radius curvature less than the radius curvature of the convex and concave surfaces, a handle attached to said board means embedded in said board for heating same, means on said handle for regulating the heat of the board, and detachable sleeve means for receipt at least partially around said board, said sleeve means having an outside hair styling surface having a contour different than the contour of the concave and convex surfaces and being heated by contac with the concave and convex surfaces.
  • a hair shaping instrument comprising a hair shaping board with a length and width and thickness, the length being the major dimension and the thickness being relatively thin, the board arcuately curved transversely having concave and convex opposed smooth
