Abstract

This invention provides a hair styling appliance including a first handle and a second handle, the second handle being operatively connected to the first handle, a glass surface on at least one of the first and second handles, and a heater in at least one of the first and second handles for at least heating the glass surface.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A hair styling appliance comprising: 
 a first handle;    a second handle, said second handle being operatively connected to said first handle;    a glass surface being disposed on at least one of said first and second handles; and    a heater being disposed in said at least one of said first and second handles for at least heating said glass surface.    
   
   
       2 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface provides a substantially planar working surface.  
   
   
       3 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface provides a textured working surface.  
   
   
       4 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface is two glass surfaces, and wherein one of said glass surfaces is on said first handle and said other glass surface is on said second handle.  
   
   
       5 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 4 , wherein said one glass surface on said first handle substantially opposes said other glass surface on said second handle.  
   
   
       6 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 2 , wherein each of said two glass surfaces provides a substantially planar working surface.  
   
   
       7 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 4 , wherein said glass surface provides a textured working surface for said glass surface disposed on each of said first and second handles.  
   
   
       8 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 4 , wherein said heater heats, at least, said glass surface.  
   
   
       9 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface has a surface roughness less than about 4800 Ra(Å).  
   
   
       10 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface has a surface roughness from about 150 Ra(Å) to about 4800 Ra(Å).  
   
   
       11 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface has a surface roughness of about 180 Ra (Å).  
   
   
       12 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive for adhering said glass surface to said at least one of said first and second handles.  
   
   
       13 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 12 , wherein said adhesive is thermally conductive.  
   
   
       14 . The hair straightening appliance of  claim 1 , further comprising a retainer for maintaining said glass surface in thermal communication with said at least one of said first and second handles.  
   
   
       15 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface is removably disposed on said at least one of said first and second handles.  
   
   
       16 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said glass surface comprises a plate structure.  
   
   
       17 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , further comprising an anti-static material being disposed in or on said glass surface for providing an anti-static property to said glass surface.  
   
   
       18 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second handles provide a thermal conductive path from said heater to said glass surface.  
   
   
       19 . A hair styling appliance comprising: 
 a first handle;    a second handle, said second handle being operatively connected to said first handle;    a smooth material surface being disposed on at least one of said first and second handles; and    a heater being disposed in said at least one of said first and second handles for at least heating said smooth material surface.    
   
   
       20 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface is a glass-type material.  
   
   
       21 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface provides a substantially planar working surface.  
   
   
       22 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface provides a textured working surface.  
   
   
       23 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface is on both said first and second handle.  
   
   
       24 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 23 , wherein said one smooth material surface on said first handle substantially opposes said other smooth material surface on said second handles.  
   
   
       25 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 21 , wherein said smooth material surface provides a substantially planar working surface.  
   
   
       26 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 21 , wherein said smooth material surface provides a textured working surface for said smooth material surface disposed on each of said first and second handles.  
   
   
       27 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 21 , wherein said heater heats, at least, said smooth material surface.  
   
   
       28 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface has a surface roughness less than about 4800 Ra(Å).  
   
   
       29 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface has a surface roughness of about 150 Ra(Å) to about 4800 Ra(Å).  
   
   
       30 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , wherein said smooth material surface has a surface roughness of about 180 Ra(Å).  
   
   
       31 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , further comprising an adhesive for adhering said smooth material surface to said at least one of said first and second handles.  
   
   
       32 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 31 , wherein said adhesive is thermally conductive.  
   
   
       33 . The hair styling appliance of  claim 19 , further comprising a retainer for maintaining said smooth material surface in thermal communication with said at least one of said first and second handles.
