Abstract
A hair-straightening device (10) has a handle (12), a barrel (14), a spoon (16) and a thumb rest (18). The barrel (14) is comprised of an upper barrel (20) and a lower barrel (22). The thumb rest (18) includes a spoon lock (32) that enables a user to choose between using the hair device (10) as a hair-straightening appliance or as a curling iron. When the thumb rest (18) is in a pulled back position, the spoon lock (32) is disengaged from the barrel connector (34) and upper barrel (20). As such, as the thumb rest (18) is depressed, the hinge (36) pivots about its axis, causing the spoon (16) to open with respect to the barrel (14). The user can then operate the device as a curling iron. When the thumb rest (18) is in the forward position, the spoon lock (32) engages the barrel connector (34), which is connected to the upper barrel end (38). As the user depresses the thumb rest (18), the barrel connector (34) and upper barrel end (38) pivot about the hinge (36). This causes the entire upper barrel (20) to open, rather than just the spoon (16). The user can then operate the device as a straightening iron.
