Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices for hair appliances. More particularly, the present invention relates to a power cord apparatus to enable hair appliances to be used with or without a power cord.
- the device can be connected to an electrical outlet, which provides power to a heater within the hair device. The heater then distributes heat to the working parts of the hair device.
- the present invention achieves these and other objectives by providing for a hair appliance and a power cord apparatus.
- the power cord apparatus preferably comprises a stand and an adaptor.
- the stand includes a stand opening into which the hair appliance can be placed.
- the adaptor can be connected to the stand and preferably includes a cord and one or more lock buttons to enable a user to selectively connect and disconnect the adaptor from the stand. This is accomplished by pressing inward the lock buttons to cause the one or more locks to withdraw in so that the locks no longer cause an obstruction and the adaptor can be pulled away from the stand, hi order to reconnect the adaptor to the stand, the end cap of the adaptor is pushed into the stand opening. This inner surface of the stand pushes into and causes the locks to withdraw so that the adaptor can be connected to the stand.
- a hair appliance When a hair appliance is connected to the stand via the stand opening, power can be supplied to the hair appliance to heat any working surfaces in the hair appliance, which can then be removed from the stand and used temporarily without the cord. Once the working surfaces have cooled, the hair appliance can be placed back on the stand so that power can be supplied to the appliance and the working surfaces are then again heated up to a sufficient temperature to be used for styling purposes.
- the adaptor can be directly connected to the hair appliance, thereby bypassing the stand altogether.
- Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of a power cord adaptor and associated hair appliance in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the stand and adaptor of Fig. 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is a top view of the bottom of a stand with a cross-sectional view of the adaptor in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the stand and adaptor in an unconnected configuration in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 5 is an exploded view of the adaptor in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a hair device assembly 10 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the hair device assembly includes a hair appliance 12 and a power cord adaptor 14.
- the power cord adaptor 14 preferably includes an on/off button 15.
- This button 15 can take the form of a toggle switch, as shown, or any other method to enable a user to easily turn the device on or off. In one embodiment of the present invention, the button 15 can be lit when plugged in to enable a user to more easily see the button 15 when lighting is not optimal.
- the hair appliance 12 is preferably a straightening iron as shown, or a curling iron, but can take the form of any hair appliance.
- Figs. 2-5 show the power cord apparatus 14, which preferably comprises a stand 16 and an adaptor 18.
- the stand 16 preferably includes a stand opening 20 into which the hair appliance can be placed.
- the stand 16 can include one or more pads 22, preferably in the form of suction cups, as shown, to support the stand. However, any other method to support
- the adaptor 18 can be connected to the stand 16 and preferably includes a cord 24 and one or more lock buttons 26 to enable a user to selectively connect and disconnect the adaptor 18 from the stand 16.
- Fig. 4 shows the stand 16 separated from the adaptor 18. This is preferably accomplished by pressing inward the lock buttons 26 to cause the one or more locks to withdraw in so that the adaptor 18 can be pulled away from the stand 16.
- the end cap 30 of the adaptor 18 is pushed into the stand opening 31. This inner surface of the stand 16 pushes into and causes the locks 28 to withdraw so that the adaptor 18 can be connected to the stand 16.
- the lock button 26 can be pressed to withdraw the locks 30.
- the lock buttons 26 can be released and the locks 28 will then protrude and cause the adaptor 18 and stand 16 to be connected until selectively disconnected by the user.
- the connection can be accomplished through a ring/pin connection or any other feasible method.
- the locks 28 fix the position of the adaptor 18 to the stand 16, and power can be supplied from an electrical outlet (not shown) through the cord 24 to the stand 16.
- an electrical outlet not shown
- the hair appliance 12 can then be removed from the stand 16 and used as long as the working surfaces) remain hot. Once the working surfaces have cooled, the hair appliance 12 can be easily placed back on the stand 16 so that power can be supplied to the appliance 12 and the working surfaces are then again heated up to a sufficient temperature to be used for styling purposes.
- the adaptor 18 can be directly connected to the hair appliance 12, thereby bypassing the stand 16 altogether.
- the adaptor 18 can be connected to the hair appliance 12 in the same manner that the hair appliance 12 can be connected to the stand 16, as explained above. This enables the user to operate the hair appliance 12 in the more traditional, corded way.
- Fig. 5 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the components that enable the adaptor to function. These can include the cord 24, the lock 28, a spring 32 to bias the locks outward, a lead plate 34, a swivel plate 36, an upper cord cover 38 and a plug 40 to enable the adaptor 18 to be plugged into an electrical outlet (not shown).
