Definitions

• the present invention relates to a curling iron with a handle region and a heatable working region according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Curling irons are well known, wherein for generating the curls first the hair tips of a split strand of hair with a curling tongs detected and then the strand is wound around the curling iron or curling tongs. Then wait a few seconds until all the hair of the hair strand are heated. However, the inner hair reach a higher temperature and are thus exposed to the thermal stress longer than the outer hair. After heating the hair, they are removed from the curling iron.
• the curling iron is stored, for example, by a user, wherein the heated work area can still have a temperature of up to 230 ° C and more, which can lead to damage of the same and possibly even to a fire, especially in sensitive documents or storage areas.
• the present invention therefore deals with the problem of providing a curler of the generic type an improved embodiment, which is characterized not only by an improved Frisiertex, but at the same time by a safe handling.
• the present invention is based on the general idea to form a heatable work area of a curling iron in two parts, namely a first part and a, the first part at least partially coaxially surrounding the second part, which wound to produce curls hair on the first part and together with this can be inserted into the second part.
• the first and second part are preferably cylindrical, wherein the second part is additionally formed in the manner of a tube and possibly with longitudinal grooves.
• the second part forms a kind of heat insulation to the outside and a possibility for heat radiation, whereby not only the hair directly in contact with the first part are heated, but also the other wound on the first part of hair, since the second part of the first Part of reflected heat reflects.
• Another particular advantage is that by the outer second part of a laying of the curling iron even on temperature-sensitive documents is easily possible because with retracted first part no direct contact of the heated first part with the pad must be feared. In addition to the improved hairdressing result, safe handling is thus simplified possible with the curling iron according to the invention.
• At least the first part can be heated.
• the hairs to be curled are wound around the first part and must be heated accordingly, it being possible for a heating device for heating the first part to be designed analogously to heating devices of previous curling irons.
• the second part can be heated, whereby the curl-forming effect and at the same time the thermal stress on the hair can be reduced, since in particular the internal and thus in direct contact with the first part hair must not be exposed to an elevated temperature.
• this can of course also be embodied only in the manner of a heat insulation or a heat reflection surface, so that the actual heating of the hair for shaping the curls takes place exclusively via the first part, while the second part merely performs the function of heat reflection or It also helps to reduce the temperature load on the hair to be lolled, since in particular the outer hairs heat up faster and thus the curling process can be shortened overall.
• the second part expediently has at least one longitudinal groove for receiving hair when inserting the first part into the second part or else the second part is conically shaped for receiving hair or has a widened, in particular trumpet-like, opening.
• the at least one longitudinal groove in the second part it is possible to fully insert the first part with the hairs wound thereon in the second part, wherein the hair are guided over the longitudinal groove to the outside.
• the second part has an enlarged opening, which allows insertion of the hair, which then usually have to be wound on the first part of the work area, that their free ends are adjacent to the handle portion of the curling iron.
• the second part has lamellae which are mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable and / or elastic, so that they can avoid the hair when inserting the first part into the second part.
• the longitudinal displaceability of the at least one lamella is given in particular in the direction of the grip region, wherein the elastic formation is intended to enable evasion of the individual lamellae in the circumferential direction.
• An elastic design of the individual slats can be achieved for example by a corresponding choice of plastic or assembling individual slats of several slat segments.
• the second part is heated exclusively on an inner side facing the first part, wherein a heat insulation is optionally additionally arranged on an outer side. If the second part is likewise heated, this considerably shortens the curling process and thereby reduces the temperature load on the hair to be curled, wherein heating of the second part preferably takes place exclusively on the inner side facing the first part and thus the hair, so that, firstly, no unnecessary Heating energy is discharged to the outside in the environment and thereby also the outside of the second part is not unnecessarily heated and in particular creates a threat to temperature-sensitive documents when placed on the same.
• a heat insulation on the outside of the second part can be done for example by a corresponding plastic coating or by at least one partially hollow design of the second part, so that in this a heat-insulating air chamber is provided.
• the first part is manually, pneumatically, electrically or hydraulically movable relative to the second part.
• the intention is to manually displace the first part into the second part, wherein in the case of upscale equipment lines an electromotive adjustment by means of a corresponding switch arranged on the gripping area is also conceivable.
• the first part is automatically retracted into the second part, if the curling iron is no longer used, which can be detected for example via a motion sensor.
• the first part extends exclusively if a corresponding switch arranged on the handle area is pressed for this purpose, so that after a release of this switch the first part automatically returns to the second part and thereby a safe placement of the curling iron is possible.

• the reduction of the temperature load results in a shortened heating process, since the hair 6 can be heated faster due to the retracting into the second part 5 first part 4 and thus significantly shorter the elevated temperature of up to 230 ° must be suspended.
• the increased safety in terms of handling in turn results from the fact that the second part 5, at least on its outside a significantly lower temperature increase than the first part 4, in particular if the second part 5, if this is heated, exclusively on a the heated first part 4 facing inside and / or provided that the second part 5 additionally has a heat insulation 8 on an outer side.
• the heat insulation 8 can be realized for example by an at least partially hollow design of the second part 5 or by a plastic coating on the outside of the second part 5. Due to the lower temperature on the outside of the second Part 5, this can be safely stored on a self-temperature-sensitive surface, as a direct contact of the relatively hot first part 4 with the pad is not to be feared. This can be ensured in particular if the first part 4 automatically enters the second part 5 when the curling iron 1 is no longer used. This can, for example, detect a motion sensor not described in detail.
