Hair curler device

Abstract

The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a customized hair curler with a barrel, and a handle that fits multiple types of barrels, the barrels being detachable and attachable. The handle has a release latch that allows a quick and simple detachment of the barrel from the handle, and a rotation switch for bidirectional rotation of the barrel with respect to the handle. The hair curler also has a heater and a user control interface for precise temperature control of the heater.

1 . A hair curler device comprising:
 a barrel comprising a heating element, wherein the heating element is capable of heating the barrel to a desired temperature; and   a handle configured to detachably couple to the barrel, and further comprising:
 a user control interface, wherein the user control interface is configured to change a temperature of the barrel to two or more temperatures; 
 a rotation switch, wherein activation of the rotation switch in one position rotates the barrel clockwise and activation of the rotation switch in another position rotates the barrel counter clockwise. 
   
     
     
         2 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is disposed internally within the barrel. 
     
     
         3 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the barrel comprises a slot configured to receive hair. 
     
     
         4 . The hair curler device of  claim 3 , wherein the slot transverses the barrel from a tip of the barrel to an end with a prong. 
     
     
         5 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the user control interface comprises a decrease temperature button. 
     
     
         6 . The hair curler device of  claim 5 , wherein the user control interface comprises an increase temperature button. 
     
     
         7 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the user control interface is configured to change the temperature of the barrel to three or more temperatures. 
     
     
         8 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the user control interface has a display. 
     
     
         9 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the handle comprises a swivel allowing a power cord to rotate. 
     
     
         10 . The hair curler device of  claim 1 , wherein the barrel comprises a prong for receiving electrical signals to power the heating element. 
     
     
         11 . A barrel comprising:
 a handle end, the handle end configured to detachably couple to a handle;   a tip end, the tip end comprising a slot configured to receive hair; and   a heating element, wherein the heating element is capable of heating the barrel to two or more desired temperatures.   
     
     
         12 . The barrel of  claim 11 , wherein the heating element is disposed internally within the barrel. 
     
     
         13 . The barrel of  claim 11 , wherein the slot transverses the barrel from the tip end to the handle end. 
     
     
         14 . The barrel of  claim 11 , wherein the barrel comprises a prong for receiving electrical signals to power the heating element. 
     
     
         15 . The barrel of  claim 11 , wherein the heating element is configured to receive electrical signals decreasing temperature. 
     
     
         16 . The barrel of  claim 15 , wherein the heating element is configured to receive electrical signals increasing temperature. 
     
     
         17 . The barrel of  claim 11 , wherein the heating element is configured to receive electrical signals to change the temperature of the barrel to three or more temperatures.
