Abstract

A curling iron includes a first member and a clamp segment connected to the first member configured for relative movement between a spaced apart position for receiving hair between the clamp segment and the first member and a closed position to impart a curling effect. A heating assembly is connected to the first member and/or clamp segment. The curling iron has at least one ion emitter for generating ions upon activation of the curling iron.

Claims (20)

1. A curling iron comprising:

a first member and a clamp segment connected to the first member configured for relative movement between a spaced apart position for receiving hair between the clamp segment and the first member and a closed position to impart a curling effect, the first member and the clamp segment are connected to a handle;

a heating assembly connected to the first member and/or the clamp segment; and

at least one ion emitter connected to the handle for generating ions upon activation of the curling iron,

wherein the at least one ion emitter is in a housing that is connected to the handle, wherein the housing has an air inlet and an air outlet, and wherein the air outlet is positioned on the handle.

2. The hair styling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the housing has an airflow generator that draws air into the air inlet and expels air through the air outlet.

3. The hair styling apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the airflow generator is a fan in the housing.

4. The hair styling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ion emitter has a positive ion emitter and a negative ion emitter.

5. The hair styling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ion emitter is a first ion emitter and a second ion emitter.

6. The hair styling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clamp segment is connected to a lever that selectively moves the clamp segment between the spaced apart position and the closed position.

7. The hair styling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first member and the handle are configured for relative movement between an extended position and a folded position.

8. A curling iron comprising:

a first member;

a clamp segment connected to the first member configured for relative movement between a spaced apart position for receiving hair between the clamp segment and the first member and a closed position to impart a curling effect, the first member and the clamp segment are connected to a handle;

a heating assembly connected to the first member and/or the clamp segment; and

a first ion emitter and a second ion emitter connected to the handle for generating ions upon activation of the curling iron,

wherein the first ion emitter is in a first housing that is connected to the handle and the second ion emitter is in a second housing that is connected to the handle, and wherein each of the first housing and the second housing has an air inlet and an air outlet.

9. The hair styling apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an airflow generator that draws air into the air inlet and expels air through the air outlet generating an airflow including positive and negative ions out of the housing.

10. The hair styling apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a first airflow generator that draws air into the air inlet and expels air through the air outlet of the first housing.

11. The hair styling apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising a second airflow generator that draws air into the air inlet and expels air through the air outlet of the second housing.
