Description

Electric iron

The present invention relates to an electric iron, and more particularly to an electric iron that can straighten hair or form waves.

In general, curling iron is one of the beauty tools that make hair look beautiful by directing a variety of hairstyles.Built the heater inside to receive heat generated from the heater to straighten hair or form a wave with straight tongs and roll brush. It is a tool. When heat is applied to the heater of the curling iron, the hair treatment liquid or water is sprinkled on the hair, and the hair is curled or stretched and the hair is trimmed.

The prior art of such a curling iron is as follows.

Korean Patent No. 10-0539586 (hereinafter referred to as 'prior art 1') relates to an electric iron having a function of straightening hair and forming a curl at the same time. A first heating member coupled to one end of the first heating member and having a flat surface and a curved surface formed in a longitudinal direction, the first heating member generating heat according to a switch operation, and rotatably coupled to one end of the handle and in surface contact with the flat surface of the first heating member. The second heating member that generates heat according to the operation, the wrinkle portion formed in the longitudinal direction on the outer side of the second heating member, the second curl forming member rotatably engaged with the wrinkle portion in the second heating member, rotates on the first heating member And a first curling member that is possibly coupled and is in surface contact with the curved surface of the first heating member.
