ABSTRACT:
The present invention features an electric, hair-curling apparatus. The hair curler is designed to prevent the heated wand from coming into unwanted contact with other surfaces and parts of the body. Its purpose is to prevent accidental injuries or burns to the body surfaces of a user or to furniture, etc. The electric hair-curler is fabricated having many insulative ribs that are periodically spaced apart and located along a longitudinal axis of the wand. These ribs are operative in shielding the heated surface of the wand from contact with unwanted surfaces, including parts of the user's body. Having a sinusoidally-shaped or undulating periphery, the ribs allow hair to easily flow into the interstitial wells between the ribs; hair flowing into the wells is free to contact the wand surface. The ribs are also designed with a wide, circumferential portion that is positioned substantially flush with the wand surface at the section of contact with the clamp. At that wand contact position with the clamp, the ribs present an open, or a completely flush, position. This creates a restriction-free area or surface in which hair can enter and be withdrawn from the clamp, without interference or inhibition from the ribs.
