HAIR STRAIGHTENING APPLIANCE WITH ADJUSTABLE HEAT PLATE

Filed:2024-08-23Pub:2026-02-26
Applicant:CONAIR LLC

A hair straightening appliance with an adjustable heat plate includes a first handle and a second handle extending along a central longitudinal axis, the first handle and the second handle being configured for relative movement between an open position for receiving hair therebetween and an approximated position for clamping hair. The first handle including a first heating plate and a first housing and the second handle including a second heating plate and a second housing, the first member and the second member are each configured to impart a straightening effect on hair when clamped, at least one of the first heating plate and the second heating plate being adjustable, when the first heating plate is adjustable, the first heating plate is selectively mounted rigidly with respect to the first housing or in a partially or fully resiliently mounted manner with respect to the first housing, and, when the second heating plate is adjustable, the second heating plate is selectively mounted rigidly with respect to the second housing or in a partially or fully resiliently mounted manner with respect to the second housing. There are certain hair treatments that require more attention and more control over the tension that is applied, for example, a Keratin treatment, thus, the hair straightening appliance that is adjustable so that one or more heated plates are selectively mounted rigidly or resiliently with respect to the hair straightening appliance's housing provides the desirable attention and control over this tension.
