Abstract: A hair-styling device containing a hand attachmentt and a source for heated air under pressure connected to the hand attachment. The hand attachment is made up of a heat-reflecting member, bands for attaching the hand attachment to a hand, an air chamber, and bristles attached to the air chamber. In one embodiment, the hand attachment is substantially hand shaped and the attachment bands are located on the fingers and wrist so as to allow easy attachment to the hand of the user. In another embodiment, the hand attachment is substantially rectangular in shape and the attachment bands are connected to the sides. Heated air may leave the air chamber through openings in the air chamber between the bristles. Alternatively, air may leave the air chamber through ducts in the bristles. The source of heated air contains a heater and a pump. Preferably, the source is in a base which contains a holder for the hand attachment. The hand attachment is useful in providing a brush for simultaneously drying and styling hair.

Abstract: A device for cleaning barbecue gratings comprises a heat reflective perforated plate for placement on the barbecue grating and a removable handle for use in conjunction with said plate for placement and removal thereof. The material of construction of said plate is selected from the group consisting of highly polishable stainless steels, chromium-plated steels, steels coated with heat-resistant reflective materials and aluminum. Both sides may be polished allowing said plate to be reversed in use extending the useful life thereby. The device having sufficient slots and holes therein located to facilitate removal of gas and excess heat. Another lower cost embodiment comprises a hinged, two-piece wire or angled metal frame which allows heat-reflective aluminum foil to be suspended tautly within said frame to maintain foil flatness and to evenly distribute heat.
