Hair Iron

Abstract

A hair iron can regulate the surface of hair with the surfaces of correctors and disperse force acting on cross sectional points of each hair that are in contact with the correctors. The hair iron has clamp arms and the correctors that are arranged on the clamp arms, to face each other, hold hair between them, and heat the hair. At this time, correcting surfaces hold and correct the hair. The correcting surface of one of the correctors is roughened with irregularities to increase contact points or contact areas with the hair and the correcting surface of the other corrector is formed to be smoother than the correcting surface.

       11 . A hair iron comprising:
 clamp arms each having a grip, the clamp arms being configured to carry out a clamping action according to a gripping operation of the grips;   correctors arranged on the clamp arms in such a way as to face each other and each having a correcting surface being brought into contact with hair in the clamping action, the correctors being configured to hold the hair to heat and correct the hair with the correcting surfaces in the clamping action;   a first one of the correcting surfaces of the correctors having irregularities roughening the first one of the correcting surfaces whereby the irregularities increase contact points or contact areas that are in contact with the hair; and   a second one of the correcting surfaces being configured to be smoother than the first one of the correcting surfaces.   
   
   
       12 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein:
 the first one of the correcting surfaces is formed by regulating the surface or roughness of a base material, and   only the second one of the correcting surfaces is formed into a mirror surface state.   
   
   
       13 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein:
 the correcting surface of one or both of the correctors is provided with a platinum layer.   
   
   
       14 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein: a titanium layer is formed between a surface of a base material of the corrector and the platinum layer of the corrector. 
   
   
       15 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein:
 nickel layers are formed between the surface of the base material and the titanium layer and between the titanium layer and the platinum layer, respectively.   
   
   
       16 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein:
 the irregularities of the first one of the correcting surfaces are from 5 to 15 μm.   
   
   
       17 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a magnet arranged along a back side of at least one of the correcting surfaces.   
   
   
       18 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 at least one elastic corrector pusher supporting one of the correctors movably with respect to the clamp arm such that one of the correctors advances and retreats within a predetermined range relative to other of the correctors from a fitted state to the clamp arm by bending the corrector pusher; and   a magnet arranged along a back side of one of the correcting surfaces of the correctors such that attractive force of the magnet with respect to the other of the correcting surfaces causes attraction of the one of the correctors to bend the corrector pusher whereby the one of the corrector advances from the fitted state to correct a mutual attitude.   
   
   
       19 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 11 , further comprising: at least one elastic corrector pusher supporting one of the correctors movably with respect to the clamp arm such that one of the correctors advances and retreats within a predetermined range relative to other of the correctors from a fitted state to the clamp arm;
 a magnet arranged along a back side of each of the correcting surfaces such that repulsive or attractive force between the magnets causes repulsion or attraction to bend the corrector pusher whereby the one of the correctors advances or retracts from the fitted state thereby to correct a mutual attitude.   
   
   
       20 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 18 , further comprising:
 a casing provided on the back side of the correcting surface of the corrector and accommodating the magnet; and   a magnet pusher accommodated in the casing and configured to push the magnet toward the correcting surface with respect to the casing.   
   
   
       21 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 19 , further comprising:
 a casing provided on the back side of the correcting surface of the corrector and accommodating the magnet; and   a magnet pusher accommodated in the casing and configured to push the magnet toward the correcting surface with respect to the casing.   
   
   
       22 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 20 , further comprising:
 a heat generator for heating arranged between the back side of the correcting surface and the magnet in the casing.   
   
   
       23 . The hair iron as set forth in  claim 21 , further comprising:
 a heat generator for heating arranged between the back side of the correcting surface and the magnet in the casing.
