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.

  • 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.
