Hair iron brush for three-way styling

Abstract

Hair iron brushes for three-way styling are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, hair iron brushes can provide three hair treatment functions: a brush function, an ironing function performed by heating hair with heating plates while brushing, and an ironing function performed by heating hair enclosed between one pair of heated plates. The hair iron brush can include first and second arm bodies that open and close with respect to each other, and a pair of plate-shaped heating panels positioned on opposing sides of each arm body. The hair iron brush can further include a curve-shaped heating panel positioned on an outer side of the first arm body, a curve-shaped panel on an outer side of the second arm body, and a plurality of brush bristle bodies on a surface of the curve-shaped heating panel.

I/We claim: 
     
         1 . An opening and closing type hair iron brush, comprising:
 first and second arm bodies that open and close with respect to each other;   a pair of plate-shaped heating panels having heating means and positioned on opposing sides of each arm body such that the plate-shaped heating panels approach one another and separate when the first and second arm bodies open and close;   a curve-shaped heating panel having heating means and positioned on an outer side of the first arm body, wherein the curve-shaped heating panel defines a substantially semicircular cross-sectional shape with the corresponding plate-shaped heating panel;   a curve-shaped panel on an outer side of the second arm body, wherein the curve-shaped panel defines a substantially semicircular cross-sectional shape with the corresponding plate-shaped heating panel, and wherein, when the arm bodies are in a closed position, the plate-shaped heating panels are positioned close to each other and an outer circumference of the first and second arm bodies defines a substantially circular cross-sectional shape;   a plurality of rows of linear grooves extending longitudinally along the arm bodies;   a plurality of linear heating surfaces extending longitudinally along the arm bodies and arranged in an alternating pattern with the linear grooves; and   a plurality of brush bristle bodies on a surface of the curve-shaped heating panel of the first arm body and enclosed in the linear shaped grooves, wherein the brush bristle bodies and the linear heating surfaces are arranged in an alternating pattern in a circumferential direction across the curve-shaped heating panel.   
     
     
         2 . The opening and closing type hair iron brush of  claim 1 , further comprising a ribbed comb part having curved recessed parts and curved raised parts arranged in an alternating pattern in the longitudinal direction on a surface of the curved-shaped panel of the second arm body. 
     
     
         3 . The opening and closing type hair iron brush of  claim 1  wherein the brush bristle bodies, the plate-shaped heating panels, and/or the curve-shaped heating panel includes multi-element mineral powder formed by crushing multi-element minerals. 
     
     
         4 . The opening and closing type hair iron brush of  claim 3  wherein the brush bristle bodies, the plate-shaped heating panels, and/or the curve-shaped heating panel further includes far infrared radiating powder formed of crushed far infrared radiating material.
