Hot curlers on a rope

Abstract

The hair curler apparatus includes a rope-like, electrical heating unit in relationship to a plurality of hair curlers. Each of the hair curlers are fitted over the rope-like, electrical heating unit where they are heated for use. The rope heating unit is positioned through the cylindrical center of the hair curlers and transfers' heat. The hair curlers are various in size, but all have the same sized interior orifice for ideal communication with the rope-like heat source for transfer of heat.

Description

SUMMARY

To solve the issues of the previous art, the proposed invention embodies convenience, flexibility, portability, and versatility. Its convenience and versatility are evidenced by being able to be positioned over a towel hanging rack in a bathroom. It can efficiently use space and can be conveniently ready to use at any time. Its flexibility is apparent in its ability to wrap around the inside of a carryon suitcase, for example. Its convenience and flexibility are noticeable with the ability to add or subtract curlers as needed. Whether traveling across town or across the globe, utilizing cutting technology to make.

BACKGROUND

Hair is one of the most important aspects of confidence and fashion for most women. Women from all socioeconomic status need to be able to feel great about their hair. To address these issues the previous art has made great strides over the years. However, considering technological advances the previous art is outdated.

For example, US20050056297A1 Heat delivery system for heated hair rollers/curlers and clips requires significant counter space regardless of the bathroom size. If used daily, it would become burdensome. People often live in small quarters, and space is a real concern. Additionally, US20200093239A1 Heated hair setter apparatus and method is smaller but would be cumbersome for a smaller bathroom. Or in a carry-on suitcase, used for an important overnight business trip where carryon luggage is preferable it would take us valuable space.

The previous art of US20130199561A1 Curling Iron and Flat Iron That Decrease Injury Due to Burns would be easy to transport. However, its application to a full head of hair would be time consuming because it only can only be applied to a single section, of a head of hair, at a time.

Publication of U.S. Pat. No. 7,566,849B2 Self-regulating electrical heating cable.

The technology of the heating cable has never been documented as a potential use for heating curlers but the radiant heat from the cable would heat anything it articulates with.

Moreover, the previous art of the electric curlers is closed at the top and are fitted from the bottom for heat and for electricity making it impossible to string the curlers with the cable. The proposed invention's curlers are hollow cylindrical and are to be made to accept heat from the cable.

Publication of U.S. Pat. No. 7,884,307B2 Electric heating textile. This art is not currently being used in hair curlers. Its application for such would be advantageous.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1A: Is a cross sectional view of the hair curler assembly embodiment which consists of the heat resistant materials such as ceramics or aerogel at top and at the bottom of the curler for handling the hot curler. (FIG. 1.A:1), The outer layer (FIG. 1.A:2) is advanced ceramics or better material to be outer layer of the curler which will articulate with the hair during the curling process. The innermost technical ceramics (FIG. 1.A:3), or a fast-heating metal layer which will articulate with (FIG. 2:11) the heating element of the curler, along the elongated cylindrical shaped hollow center following the shape of the curler (FIG. 1.A:4) which will longitudinally tightly fit onto (FIG. 2:11) the heating element for the purpose of heating the curler for use. A plurality of curlers (FIG. 3:12) can be mounted in a top to bottom fashion along the heating unit to be heated simultaneously on the heating element (FIG. 2:11).

(FIG. 1.B): A view looking down upon the top of the curler unit (FIG. 1.A:1) utilizes aerogel or any surface will resist getting hot, and upon the orifice (FIG. 1.A:4) that runs the full length of the center of the curler.

(FIG. 1.C:5): Is the embodiment of the non-heat able end cap that fits on the heat unit (FIG. 2:11). To be attached near the bottom of the curlers to heating unit (FIG. 2:11) with (FIG. 1.C:6) orifice narrowing clamps will fasten the end cap to the heating unit,

(FIG. 2:11) which is configured to hold the curlers firmly in place while they are heating and to prevent the curlers (FIG. 3:12) from slipping off the end of the heating unit (FIG. 2:11).

FIG. 2: The electrical power plug (FIG. 2:7) is a wall plug which is configured to supply power to (FIG. 2:8) the electrical box. When the power is turned on at (FIG. 2:9) the heating unit (FIG. 2:11) transfers heat to the curlers (FIG. 3:12). Once the curlers achieve the designated heat level the heat indicator light (FIG. 2:10) alerts the user the curlers are ready for use.

FIG. 3. shows the embodiment of all the separate parts of the hot curlers on a rope in its entirety.

The electrical power plug (FIG. 4:1) is configured to supply power to (FIG. 4:2) the electrical box. When turned on at (FIG. 4:3) the electrical current travels into the curler through the current regulator (FIG. 5.C:9) located at the bottom of the electrical box. The dual electrical prongs (FIG. 4:5) and (FIG. 6.A:5) and (FIG. 6.B:6) are configured to communicate with the current regulator (FIG. 5.C:9) supplying the electricity to the embedded heating element (FIG. 6.A:12) within the technical ceramics, within the curler. Additionally, this configuration makes electricity available to all the curlers. When the curlers are heated to the desired temperature the indicator light (FIG. 4:4) turns on. The outer ceramic layer (FIG. 4:6) is constructed of ceramics configured to be in contact with wet or damp hair, for the purposes of curling and styling. A cross section of the curler configuration (FIG. 6.A) for this configuration. The top and bottom of the curler (FIG. 6.A:10) and (FIG. 6.B:10) is constructed of aerogel or a heat resistant material for removing the hot curlers from the configured heat resistant rope (FIG. 4:7) without touching the hot curlers. The configured elongated hollow center of the curler (FIG. 6.A:11 and FIG. 6.B:11) is for articulating with a heat resistant rope (FIG. 4:7). The endcap (FIG. 4:8) is configured to keep the curlers from falling off the rope and close enough to accept and complete the electrical charge necessary to heat the curlers. The clamps (FIG. 4:13) are configured within end cap (FIG. 4:8) are configured to narrow the orifice of the endcap locking the curlers in place.
