  • Patent number: 6243533
    Abstract: A multiple hair setting roller heating and facial steaming apparatus includes a housing, an enclosure, a heating module, a heating element, at least one outlet and a hood. The housing defines a receptacle for receiving and holding a quantity of a desired liquid and defines a platform. The enclosure has an open bottom and defines an interior chamber. The enclosure is mounted to and extends downwardly from the platform of the housing and into the receptacle of the housing below the surface of the quantity of liquid in the receptacle such that air is captured in the interior chamber of the enclosure. The heating module is mounted to the platform of the housing and extends downwardly therefrom within the interior chamber of the enclosure. The heating module has a passage and an inlet extending below the open bottom of the enclosure so as to provide direct flow communication of liquid from the receptacle of the housing to the passage of the heating module bypassing the interior chamber of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 6035099
    Abstract: A multiple hair setting roller heating apparatus includes a housing having a heating chamber defined therein, a heat generating source disposed in the housing, and a plurality of height-adjustable elongated holder members in the form of hollow posts supported upright in the heating chamber of the housing. The height-adjustable holder members are adjustably movable between lowered and raised positions for holding different numbers and sizes of hair setting rollers at different elevations to thereby selectively change the roller holding capacity of the heating chamber. The housing includes an enclosure, a top cover removably fitted on an open top of the enclosure for enclosing the heating chamber of the housing, and a flat platform disposed in the housing enclosure and supporting the height-adjustable holder members in the heating chamber. The enclosure also is adapted to hold a quantity of fluid, such as water, in communication with the heating chamber.

  • Patent number: 5710861
    Abstract: A multiple hair setting roller heating apparatus includes a telescopic enclosure open at its top and having a heating chamber defined therein and a heating element disposed within the heating chamber. The enclosure is movable telescopically between an extended condition in which the heating chamber has a first volume for containing a first plurality of rollers and a contracted condition in which the heating chamber has a second volume smaller than the first volume for containing a second plurality of rollers smaller than the first plurality of rollers. The telescopic enclosure is adapted to hold a quantity of water such that when the heating element is activated, the water boils producing steam and the rollers disposed within the heating chamber are heated simultaneously and generally evenly.
