Hair curler system

Abstract

A hair curler system is formed of unique hair rollers that are stored in a hair curler station. In one aspect, the hair rollers are at least partially conical in shape. The conically-shaped rollers broaden the ability of the rollers to curl and style the hair over non-conical rollers. The conically-shaped hot rollers also provide curl and wave dimension to the hair. The hair curler station is adapted to selectively control heating of the curlers or clips that secure curlers to hair.

1 . A hair curler system, comprising:
 at least one hair roller;   at least one hair clamp sized and shaped to be clamped over the hair roller;   a tower having:   (a) a hair roller receptacle adapted to store the hair roller in a manner that the hair roller is accessible from the tower;   (b) a hair clamp receptacle adapted to store the hair clamp in a manner that the hair clamp is accessible from the tower;   (c) a heating element that transmits heat to at least one of the hair roller and hair clamp when stored in a respective receptacle.   
   
   
       2 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the hair roller comprises a frusto-conical hair roller. 
   
   
       3 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the system includes a plurality of hair rollers. 
   
   
       4 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the hair roller receptacle comprises a cavity positioned on the outer surface of the tower, the cavity being sized and shaped to receive a respective hair roller. 
   
   
       5 . A system as in  claim 4 , wherein the cavity is sized and shaped to receive at least one hair roller such that the hair roller is inserted into the cavity lengthwise along the longitudinal axis of the hair roller. 
   
   
       6 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the tower includes at least one column that includes a plurality of hair roller receptacles, each hair roller receptacle configured to store a single hair roller. 
   
   
       7 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the hair roller receptacle includes a post that receives a hair roller. 
   
   
       8 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the hair clamp includes an internal shaft that is sized to receive the hair roller. 
   
   
       9 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the internal shaft is frusto-conical. 
   
   
       10 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the hair clamp is adapted to clamp onto hair. 
   
   
       11 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the tower further includes a display that displays a temperature of the tower. 
   
   
       12 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the hair clamp receptacle an elongated, vertically-extending slot that is sized and shaped to receive one or more hair clamps in a stacked fashion. 
   
   
       13 . A system as in  claim 12 , wherein the tower includes a plurality of hair clamp receptacles. 
   
   
       14 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the heating elements are adapted to transmit heat to a first roller independent of another roller. 
   
   
       15 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the heating elements are adapted to transmit heat to a first clamp independent of another clamp.
