Hair Styling Heat Protector

Abstract

A device formed from a lightweight, heat resistant material to protect the skin while using a heat generating hair styling device is disclosed. A channel is formed between an inner band and an outer band of the device to facilitate moving hot liquids or gels away from the front of a wearer's face. The rear of the device has a variable connecting structure to facilitate fitting the device to different sized heads.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The technology disclosed herein will now be described in detail with reference to a few preferred embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the technology disclosed herein. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the technology disclosed herein may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known operations have not been described in detail so not to unnecessarily obscure the technology disclosed herein.

Referring now to FIGS. 1-4, in an exemplary embodiment a hair styling heat shield 10 is formed as one piece and is comprised of three elements, an inner band 100, a channel 200 and an outer band 300, where the channel 200 joins the inner band 100 to the outer band 300.

The inner band 100 terminates in a first end 110 and a second end 130. The first end 110 has a male connector 120 disposed at the bottom of the inner band 100 near the first end 110. The inner band 100 has a plurality of a female connector 140 formed in an array starting near the second end 130 and proceeding away from the second end 130 as shown.

In some embodiments the male connector 120 has a sleeve 125 formed approximately midway around the male connector 120 as shown. The sleeve 125 facilitates the releasable securing of the male connector 120 into one of the female connector 140.

In one embodiment the one piece heat resistant hair styling heat protector is formed to be capable of flipping up or down.

In another embodiment the male connector is formed in the shape of a cone with a distal end smaller than a proximal end where the distal end is dimensioned to fit inside the female connector.

From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that, although specific embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without deviating from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, many of the features and components described above in the context of a particular hair styling heat protector configuration can be incorporated into other configurations in accordance with other embodiments of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not limited except by the appended claims.
