Claims
- 1. Apparatus for processing hair on the head of a person, said apparatus including:
- (a) a framework;
- (b) mounting means for supporting said framework, said mounting means including adjustable means operable selectively positioning said framework vertically, and accurately relative to the person's head;
- (c) first infrared radiating means adjustably carried by said framework for heating hair on one side of the person's head, said first infrared radiating means being independently positionable with respect to the one side of the person's head and said framework;
- (d) second infrared radiating means carried by said framework for heating hair on the other side of the person's head, said second infrared radiating means being independently positionable with respect to the other side of the person's head and said framework;
- (e) third infrared radiating means fixedly carried by said framework for heating hair on the back and top of the person's head, said third infrared radiating means being positionable with said framework;
- (f) fourth infrared radiating means carried by said framework and above third infrared radiating means for heating hair on the top of the person's head, said fourth infrared radiating means being fixed with respect to said third infrared radiating means and positionable with said framework;
- (g) control means carried by said framework for controlling said first, second, third and fourth infrared radiating means individually and collectively, said control means including a heat sensor carried by a support means extendable from said control means so as to be fixedly juxtapositioned in closely spaced proximity to the rear portion of the head of the person, said sensor when so supported serving as a reference point for adjusting the position of said first, second, third and fourth infrared radiating means relative to the person's head, and means responsive to said head sensor for turning off said first, second, third and fourth infrared radiating means collectively in response to said heat sensor sensing at least a predetermined temperature of the hair.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1 including: blower means carried by said framework and positionable with said framework for blowing air toward the head of the person and circulating air in the region of the person's head.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said mounting means is floor mounted and includes a vertical member coupled to said framework and a plurality of legs extending from said vertical member and providing stability to said apparatus, each leg having a caster.
