Abstract

A curling apparatus employed for curling hair comprises a shaft which hair is coiled round; a stopper having a substantially C-shaped section, the stopper being disposed outside the shaft detachably; and a threaded engagement device which is disposed outside the stopper, and yet threaded to the shaft, the curling apparatus being configured in such a manner that turning/moving the threaded engagement device with the hair on a root side fastened to the shaft and a tip of the hair guided to the side of the threaded engagement device allows the hair to be spirally coiled round the shaft.

Claims (12)

1. A curling apparatus to be employed for curling hair comprising:

a shaft which hair is coiled round;

a stopper having a substantially C-shaped section, said stopper being disposed outside said shaft detachably; and

a threaded engagement device which is disposed outside said stopper, and yet thread-engages said shaft, said curling apparatus being configured in such a manner that turning/moving said threaded engagement device with said hair on a root side fastened to said shaft and a tip of said hair guided to a side of said threaded engagement device allows said hair to be spirally coiled round said shaft.

2. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaft and said threaded engagement device are configured in such a manner that disengagement of its threaded engagement allows them to be detached from each other.

3. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaft has a position regulator for regulating a position of said stopper.

4. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaft has a threaded bore provided from its lower side, and wherein:

said threaded engagement device has a threaded shaft, which thread-engages said threaded bore, and a cylindrically shaped body sized so that said substantially C-shaped stopper is arranged inside it.

5. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said shaft has holes provided in a peripheral surface and these holes have serial communication with said threaded bore.

6. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said cylindrically shaped body has a guide for said hair.

7. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said substantially C-shaped stopper has a protruding piece in one end, and said protruding piece is positioned on a side of said cylindrically shapedbody, thereby preventing said hair to be caught between said substantially C-shaped stopper and said cylindrically shaped body.

8. The curling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the curling apparatus further comprises a roller mechanism, and said roller mechanism allows pressure to be applied to the hair coiled spirally round said shaft.
