Patent number: 9609941Abstract: A hair styling tool having a plurality of bristles and one or more movable members extending radially outward from the core and movable between opposing positions is provided. The movable members move between a retracted position where the divider is fitted between and even with or slightly above or slightly below the bristles to engage the hair and an extended position where the divider is moved out beyond the bristles to disengage the hair from the bristles. The hair styling tool having the movable member which engages and disengages the hair with the bristles minimizes tangling of the hair while brushing. The hair styling tool may be a rotating brush optionally equipped with a motor.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: M. M. & R. Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Ragosta, Claudio Marino, Bruno Meglio, David J. Richmond, Howard C. Richmond

Patent number: 9521891Abstract: A hair styling tool includes a body, a cylinder extending from the body, the cylinder rotatable relative to the body, a motor for rotating the cylinder, a heater to heat the cylinder, and a styling arm pivotally attached to the body. The hair styling tool may have a generally clam shell configuration, wherein the styling arm is movable between an open position in which the styling arm is distant the cylinder and a closed position in which the styling arm is proximate to the cylinder, such as contacting the cylinder. The styling arm may also include a brush head with fixed or retractable bristles and/or a smoothing plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: MM&R Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Ragosta, Bruno Meglio, Claudio Marino, David Richmond, Howard Richmond

Patent number: 9516938Abstract: A hair styling and drying apparatus has a pair of pivotally connected arms, styling surfaces on the arms, air suction and discharge orifices in the styling surfaces, and a blower for blowing air through the air orifices and recycling air between the arms. At least some suction orifices of one styling surface can align with at least some discharge orifices of the other styling surface. The blowers blow air out the discharge orifices and suck air into the suction orifices, thereby recycling much of the blown air. The apparatus can include heaters for heating the blown air and for heating the styling surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: TRADE BOX, LLCInventors: David Richmond, Howard Richmond, Michael Ragosta, Bruno Meglio, Claudio Marino, Henry Yu, Jefferson McCrory
