-
- a heating plate to which a current is applied and temperature is maintained uniformly;
- a connection member with which the heating plate is engaged and having adiabatic functions; and
- a body in which the connection member is engaged correspondingly each other therewithin,
- wherein the heating plate, the connection member and the body are assembled, such that they are engaged in three-steps and the heating plate are completely projected to the outside of the body.
- Preferably, the heating portion is constructed such that a minute space is formed among the heating plate, the connection member and the body, and thereby the transfer of the heat generated from the heating plate to the body can be minimized.
- Preferably, the heating portion is also constructed such that an engagement portion of the heating plate, the connection member and the body is contacted in a spot by a protrusion, and thereby the transfer of the heat generated from the heating plate to the connection member can be minimized.
- Preferably, the connection member is formed with a protrusion to be engaged with engagement portions of the heating plate and the body, and when being engaged, the heating plate, the connection member and the body are formed with a gap and are contacted in a spot.
- Preferably, a spacing member is disposed between the connection member and the body and is made of cushion materials.
- The above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional hair iron; -

Thereference numeral 50 denotes heating portions. - Each
heating portion 50 has aheating plate 20 to which a current is applied and temperature is maintained uniformly, aconnection member 30 with which theheating plate 20 is engaged and having adiabatic functions, and a body 40 in which theconnection member 30 is engaged correspondingly each other therewithin. - When the
heating plate 20, theconnection member 30 and the body 40 are assembled, they are engaged in three-steps so that theheating plate 20 is completely projected to the outside of the body 40. Also, theheating portion 50 is constructed, such that a minute space is formed among theheating plate 20, theconnection member 30 and the body 40, and thereby the transfer of the heat generated from theheating plate 20 to the body 40 can be minimized. - The
connection member 30, as shown inFIG. 3 , is formed with at least 2 ormore protrusions 31 which are engaged with engagement rails 21 of theheating plate 20. -
- Also, the
connection member 30 is formed with at least 2 ormore gap protrusions 33 at its outer surface with which thebody 20 is engaged. - The
gap protrusions 33 cause theconnection member 30 to be spaced from thebody 10 at a predetermined interval. Also, thegap protrusions 33 are formed with minutely being protruded. - Spacing members 11 are formed between the
body 10 and theconnection member 30 being engaged with theheating plate 20 and are made of cushion materials. - The spacing members 11 are disposed to the inner surface of the
body 10 at a predetermined height, and theconnection member 30 is placed at the upper surface of the spacing members 11. This prevents theconnection member 30 from being directly contacted with thebody 10. - As mentioned in the above, the

heating plate 20 and the heat is generated at theheating plate 20. - At this time, the
heating plate 20 is typically heated to the temperature more than 150° C. However, since theheating plate 20 is engaged with theconnection member 30, direct transfer of the heat being generated to the surface of thebody 10 is minimized. - In the above manner, since the spacing members 11 are disposed to the inner surface of the
body 10 at a predetermined height, theconnection member 30 is spaced from thebody 10, without being directly contacted with thebody 10, and thus the direct transfer of the heat to the surface of thebody 10 can be minimized. - Also, the
connection member 30 is formed with at least 2 ormore gap protrusions 33 at its outer surface with which thebody 20 is engaged. - The
gap protrusions 33 cause theconnection member 30 to be spaced from thebody 10 at a predetermined interval. Also, thegap protrusions 33 are formed with minutely being protruded. - According to the hair iron structure of the present invention, since direct transfer of the heat generated from the heating plate of the hair iron to the body portion can be minimized, the hair iron does not cause a burn and can be more safely utilized.
