Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a visual user interface for a heated hair styling apparatus and, more particularly, to a user interface comprising an LED (Light Emitting Diode) or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to allow the user to view a variety of operating characteristics of the heated hair styling apparatus which may be a hair dryer, curling iron, or the like.
  • LED Light Emitting Diode
  • LCD Liquid Crystal Display
  • Heated hair styling devices such as curling irons, hair dryers, hair straighteners, hot rollers, and the like are well known. In recent years, many of these devices have been equipped with features such as temperature control and automatic shut-off. However, these heated hair styling devices are typically designed with little attention to the scope of the controls and level of feedback that its user receives. Generally, the user is presented with controls that do not accurately control the temperature of the device. Additionally, the controls may not allow the user to ascertain the operating temperature of the device. Without these capabilities of being able to accurately adjust the temperature or other operating characteristics of the device, the user is likely to be unable to sustain a desired hairstyle or look. [0003] Capabilities to accurately control the operating conditions of a heated hair styling device would be beneficial to users. Therefore, in light of the foregoing deficiencies in the prior art, the applicant's invention is herein presented.
  • the present invention overcomes at least one disadvantage of the prior art by providing a hair styling device comprising a handle; a body; an audio signal which sounds an alarm when at least one predetermined operating condition is achieved; and a liquid crystal display (LCD) visual display positioned on one of the handle and the body, wherein the visual display provides information related to at least one operating condition of the device.
  • a hair styling device comprising a handle; a body; an audio signal which sounds an alarm when at least one predetermined operating condition is achieved; and a liquid crystal display (LCD) visual display positioned on one of the handle and the body, wherein the visual display provides information related to at least one operating condition of the device.
