The clamp, the first interlocking element, and the second interlocking element are adapted to cooperatively secure the curler removably to the handle. Various embodiments for the interlocking elements are provided. The hair styling device may be part of a hair styling system further comprising a plurality of curlers and a heater for heating the curlers. There is also provided a method for curling hair with the hair styling system described.

Abstract: A hair roller is provided with an hollow outer member enclosing an inner member. A plurality of hair clips is connected to the inner member by flexible roots and connected to the outer member by integral pivot axes. The hair clips extend though longitudinal openings in the outer member. Longitudinal movement of the inner member relative to the outer member, thereby causes the hair clips to either grip or release a user's hair when the user's hair is wound upon the outer member. Also provided is detent mechanism that allow the inner member to be restricted in gripping and released positions.

Abstract: A hair styling device comprising a handle having a first curler interlocking element, a heatable curler having a second curler interlocking element, and a clamp attached to the handle and extending therefrom. The clamp is adapted to grasp hair between the clamp and the curler. The curler has a non-conductive upper rim with a cutaway portion. The clamp, the first interlocking element, and the second interlocking element are adapted to cooperatively secure the curler removably to the handle. Various embodiments for the interlocking elements are provided. The hair styling device may be part of a hair styling system further comprising a plurality of curlers and a heater for heating the curlers. There is also provided a method for curling hair with the hair styling system described.

Abstract: A curler and a method of use for curling hair, e.g., the synthetic hair of a doll. The curler has an elongated rod, an elongated pressure applicator, and pivotable connector enabling the rod to be pivoted from an open position wherein it is located spaced from the pressure applicator to a closed position wherein it is located closely parallel to the pressure applicator. The rod is of very small diameter arranged to have a hank of the hair of the doll wrapped in a tight spiral about it. The pressure applicator is an elongated member having a hair engaging surface formed of a compressible resilient foam which, when the rod is in the closed position, applies pressure to the portion of the hank of hair disposed between it and said rod. This action causes the hair to take a curl without the necessity of the application of heat thereto. The curler also includes a catch member for releasable holding the rod in the closed position. The curler can be formed of plastic, metal or a combination of both.

Abstract: A finger/toe nail clipping and catching device 20 comprises a lower arm 74 unitary with vertical side walls 46 and 48. A rear block 96 between the rear ends of the lower and upper arms 74 and 76 provides more space between said arms 74 and 76 than in the conventional nail clipper. The lower and upper arms 74 and 76 are spaced in overlying arrangement, fastened at one end 82 and terminating in spaced facing jaw formations 45 and 47. The jaw formations 45 and 47 comprise upper and lower concave center blade sections 56 and 50 and upper and lower side blade sections 55 and 57 and 52 and 54 that terminate in sharpened cutting edges. When the blade sections are engaged in "cutting" position, the interior chamber of the device 20 is completely enclosed by the interior facing surfaces of the arms 74 and 76, side walls 46 and 48, and blade sections. The invention 20 eliminates the deflection and obstruction problems caused by the conventional mounting pin by providing other mounting means for the actuating lever.

Abstract: A hair roller including a rod made of liquid absorbing material, a cover pivotally connected with an end of the rod, made of liquid absorbing material and formed with a plurality of slots, and a flexible member partially inserted into the rod and capable of being bent on the cover, whereby the hair roller may facilitate curling hair.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates visually checking whether or not either end of a cover has been fixedly embedded, by insert molding, properly in a pair of clasps of a setting frame. In a hair curler of the present invention, the outer edge at either end of the cover is fixedly embedded in the pair of clasps, exposed out of the outer side surface of the pair of clasps. According to the method of manufacturing the hair curler of the present invention, the projecting portion with the outer edge side of the cover embedded, in the insert molding of the setting frame, is integrally formed on the outside surface of the pair of clasps, and then is cut off from the pair of clasps together with the outer edge side of the cover embedded in the projecting portion.

Abstract: A permanent wave rod having an elastic band to which tension is applied to hold the permanent wave rod in place against hair. Tension is applied to the elastic band by an end cap which is pivotally attached to the body of the permanent wave rod, and which is pivoted toward the body to apply tension to the elastic band, and is pivoted away from the body to release tension from the elastic band.

Abstract: A hair clamp structure is arranged for clamping a quantity of hair therewithin, wherein the clamp structure includes a plurality of pivotally mounted semi-cylindrical shells. The first shell includes a rib member projecting beyond a first shell second edge to be received within an inter-locking engagement with a second shell flange engaging beyond a second edge of the second shell. First edges of the first and second shells are of an interdigited construction including a hinge pin directed therethrough effecting pivotment of the first shell relative to the second shell. The upper and lower annular edges of each shell includes a semi-annular array of tooth members to enhance engagement of hair between the shells, with a lock pin to be received through openings of the shells' walls to effect locking and securement of the shells relative to a predetermined quantity of hair contained within the shells.

Abstract: A hair curler having a spool portion that is flexible and an attached cover of relatively rigid material adapted to be slid from an open to closed position and vice versa, over said spool portion after hair is wound thereon. A further hair curler has a flexible spool portion with a base flange at one end and a cup-like flange at the other end, said cup-like flange having a rigid rim which can be pushed over said base flange after hair is wound on said spool.

Abstract: A hair curling roller having an oval-shaped, elongated body with two rounded ends and a U-shaped clip attached to an annular pivotal housing embedded through one rounded end of the body. The opposite end of the U-shaped clip has an enlarged spherical tip adapted to slide over a groove which extends through the rounded end of the oval-shaped body. As the sperical tip slides over the groove, the clip is pulled towards the oval-shaped body, securing any hair wound around the roller. In an alternate embodiment the traverse cross-section of the body is circular in shape and the clip is rotatably secured to the body by a ball and socket.

Abstract: A hair roller and a curler rotating device which has a motor (24) and batteries (28) housing within a body (20). The motor shaft (26) penetrates the body at one end and has a tapered mandrel (34) attached that connects to a tapered bore (40) on the roller (36) allowing a removable connection. The curler (38) further has a clip (48) for holding the end of a lock of hair to start the rolling procedure. A clamp (56) holds the hair in place when the rotating device has finished the rolling process and rotates freely within the roller body. A second embodiment contains a slipable sleeve (58) and motor driven gear (70) in place of the mandrel and tapered bore that limits the torque of the motor to a predetermined value. This precludes pulling of ones hair when rotation is completed, overcoming previous attempts to solve the problem of excessive motor power.
