Hair curling iron with concave/convex heating surfaces

Abstract

A curling iron is provided including a first leg with a bottom surface and a second leg with a top surface, the bottom and top surfaces being in opposed relationship to each other and having a nested convex/concave shape. In the preferred embodiment, both of the legs are heated. Also, in one embodiment, the first leg is biased against a second leg, and a release lever is provided for selectively overcoming the biasing force and separating said legs. In another embodiment, the first leg is pivotable relative to the second leg, and a clamp lever is provided for controlling the pivoting action.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A curling iron comprising: 
 a first leg with a bottom surface and a second leg with a top surface, said bottom and top surfaces being in opposed relationship to each other and having a nested convex/concave shape.    
     
     
         2 . The curling iron of  claim 1  wherein both said legs are heated.  
     
     
         3 . The curling iron of  claim 1  wherein said first leg is biased against a second leg, and a release lever is provided for selectively overcoming the biasing force and separating said legs.  
     
     
         4 . The curling iron of  claim 1  wherein said first leg is pivotable relative to said second leg, and a clamp lever is provided for controlling the pivoting action.  
     
     
         5 . A curling iron comprising: 
 a pair of legs having opposed concave/convex surfaces, where both said surfaces are heated.    
     
     
         6 . The curling iron of  claim 5  wherein a first one of said pair of legs is biased against a second leg of said pair of legs, and a release lever is provided for selectively overcoming the biasing force and separating said legs.  
     
     
         7 . The curling iron of  claim 5  wherein a first leg of said pair of legs is pivotable relative to a second leg of said pair of legs, and a clamp lever is provided for controlling the pivoting action.
