Abstract
Abstract A hair curler heater device having a base plate and a plurality of hollow cylindrical fingers mounted on and projecting from the base plate for receiving a hair curler to be heated. An electric resistance heating cable having high and low temperature sectors is arranged for heating the fingers. The high temperature sectors are accommodated within the fingers and the low temperature sectors are provided in the base plate. The heating cable has a core of flexible non-conducting material and a heating wire helically wound about the core so as to form the high and low temperature sectors. The low temperature sectors are formed by an odd number of layers of heating wire wound around the core in electrical contact with each other to form a plurality of partial resistors electrically connected in parallel. Alternate layers of the cold sectors are wound about the core in the same direction as the heating wire is wound about the core in the high temperature sectors and the number of layers in each of the low temperature sectors exceeds the number of layers in each high temperature sector by at least two.
