Hair-styling device

Claim 2

A hair curler device for an appliance having heated airgenerating means and outlet means for discharging the heated air, said hair curler device comprising, a. an elongated hollow casing extending a substantial length from said outlet means and of preselected dimensions to permit insertion of the substantially greater portion of the length thereof into different sized hollow hair rollers, and b. vent means in said casing extending longitudinally along the length and arranged circumferentially around the axis thereof for discharging streams of heated air received in said casing from said outlet means around and along said elongated casing.

Claim 3

The device of claim 1 wherein said elongated casing is conical-shaped having sidewalls tapering inwardly from the outlet means.

Claim 4

The device of claim 1, wherein said vent means comprise a plurality of longitudinally extending elongated slots formed in the sidewalls of said casing and circumferentially positioned in relation to one another.

Claim 5

The device of claim 2 wherein means are provided in said casing to limit the depth of penetration thereof into a hair roller and wherein one end of said elongated slots extends beyond said limiting means to be positioned without said roller when the depth of penetration is determined by the limiting means.

Claim 6

The device of claim 4 wherein said limiting means comprises peripheral wall portions of the base of said conical-shaped casing.

Claim 7

A hair curler attachment adapted for connection to a hand-held hair styler device having heated air-operating means and an outlet opening for said heated air, said hair curler attachment comprising, a. an elongated casing having a longitudinal axis, b. means on the outlet opening end of said casing for detachably connecting said casing to a hair styler device, c. said elongated casing extending a substantial length from sad outlet opening end and being of preselected dimensions to permit insertion of the substantially greater portion of the length thereof into different size hollow hair rollers, and d. vent means and arranged around the longitudinal axis in said casing along the length thereof for discharging streams of heated air received in said casing from the orifice of said hair styler device.

Claim 8

A hair curler attachment adapted for connection to a hand-held hair styler device having heated air-operating means and an outlet opening for said heated air, said hair curler attachment comprising, a. an elongated casing having a longitudinal axis, b. means on the outlet opening end of said casing for detachably connecting said casing to a hair styler device, c. said elongated casing extending a substantial length from sad outlet opening end and being of preselected dimensions to permit insertion of the substantially greater portion of the length thereof into different size hollow hair rollers, and d. vent means and arranged around the longitudinal axis in said casing along the length thereof for discharging streams of heated air received in said casing from the orifice of said hair styler device.

Claim 9

The device of claim 6 wherein said elongated casing is conical-shaped and provided with sidewall portions extending inwardly from said orifice and wherein the vent means comprise elongated venting slots in the sidewalls, said slots of length at least equal to the longitudinal length of the hair roller.

Claim 10

The device of claim 7 wherein said venting slots are spaced one from the other by narrow ribs, said ribs extending from the apex of said conical casing into the base thereof.

Claim 11

The device of claim 7 wherein said means for detachably securing said hair curler attachment to said hair styler including ready releasable latch means having complementary portions on each of said casings.

Claim 12

The device of claim 9 wherein said conical casing is provided with a base portion, a plug on one end of said base adapted for insertion into the outlet orifice of said hair styler, said latching means formed on said plug portion and adjacent surfaces of said hair styler, a plurality of ribs projecting outwardly from the other end of said base and tapering inwardly toward the apex of said casing and defining therebetween said elongated venting slots.
