Portable steamer for synthetic braiding hair

Abstract

A portable steamer for synthetic braiding hair is disclosed. The portable steamer is comprised of a main body, a lid connected to one side of the main body by a hinge and configured to cover/uncover a flat surface formed at the other side of the main body, a water tank connected at the bottom of the main body and configured to hold a water therein, a hair setting groove formed at the flat surface of the main body, and a heater formed inside the water tank and configured to boil the water and generate a steam.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A portable steamer for synthetic braiding hair comprising:
 a main body;   a lid connected to one side of the main body by a hinge and configured to cover/uncover a flat surface formed at the other side of the main body;   a water tank connected at the bottom of the main body and configured to hold a water therein;   a hair setting groove formed at the flat surface of the main body; and,   a heater connected at the bottom of the main body and submerged to the water in the water tank.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the lid is configured to cover/uncover the flat surface of the main body by pivoting motion around the hinge.   
     
     
         3 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the water tank is configured to be detachable from the main body so that the water can be refilled.   
     
     
         4 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the hair setting groove is configured to have a plurality of holes so that a steam generated inside the water tank comes out therethrough.   
     
     
         5 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the heater is configured to boil the water in the water tank and generate the steam.   
     
     
         6 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 the main body further comprises:   an up-button formed on the side of the main body and configured to increase an amount of steam generation;   a down-button formed on the side of the main body and configured to decrease the amount of steam generation; and,   a screen formed on the side of the main body and configured to display the amount of steam generation.   
     
     
         7 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a plurality of hair setting grooves may be formed at the flat surface of the main body so that multiple synthetic braiding hairs can be treated simultaneously.   
     
     
         8 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the hair setting groove is configured to be detachable from the flat surface of the main body so that different sizes of the hair setting groove can be attached.   
     
     
         9 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a surface of the hair setting groove is coated by ceramic material so that the synthetic braided hair slides along the hair setting groove smoothly.   
     
     
         10 . An apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the heater is configured to shut down electrical power when the water inside the water tank is empty.   
     
     
         11 . A portable steamer for synthetic braiding hair comprising:
 a main body;   a water tank connected at the bottom of the main body and configured to hold a water therein;   a hair setting chamber formed at one end of the main body; and,   a heater connected at the bottom of the main body and submerged to the water in the water tank.   
     
     
         12 . An apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the water tank is configured to be detachable from the main body so that the water can be refilled.   
     
     
         13 . An apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the hair setting chamber is formed as a tube type and configured to have a plurality of holes around an inner diameter thereof so that a steam generated inside the water tank comes out therethrough; and,   wherein a plurality of curling rods is configured to make a curly shape onto a plurality of synthetic fibers and inserted to the hair setting chamber to form the curly shape with hot water setting.   
     
     
         14 . An apparatus of  claim 13 ,
 wherein a bottom lid is attached at the bottom of the hair setting chamber and configured to close a bottom opening of the hair setting chamber and hold the plurality of synthetic fibers or the plurality of curling rods inside the hair setting chamber.   
     
     
         15 . An apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 the main body further comprises:   a plurality of steam buttons formed on the side of the main body and configured to adjust an amount of steam generation; and,   a steam temperature button formed on the side of the main body and configured to adjust the temperature of steam generation.   
     
     
         16 . An apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein a surface of the inner diameter of the hair setting chamber is coated by ceramic material so that the synthetic braided hair slides along the hair setting groove smoothly.   
     
     
         17 . An apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the heater is configured to shut down electrical power when the water inside the water tank is empty.
