Abstract:
A hair drying/styling appliance includes an ion emitting circuit which directs ion onto the hair of a user, and in which the level of ion output is variable and adjustable by a user. In preferred embodiments indicators such as a series of lights on the housing indicate the level of ion output.
Abstract:
Hair styling appliance systems include cordless appliance handles adapted to receive a rechargeable battery pack. The handles are also adapted to connect to a plurality of different electric styling appliances that may be powered by the rechargeable battery pack. A stand provides storage wells for the handle, battery packs and attachments and further provides charging stations for the battery packs.

Abstract:
A hair clipping device includes a motor, an electrostatic ion generator, a power cord, a switch and an indicating light, all housed within an elongated plastic housing and an opening in the housing for the discharge of the ions positioned so that the ions are directed towards the hair being trimmed.
Abstract:
A foot treating apparatus comprising a basin that is adapted for accepting and containing bathing water and is shaped and arranged to accommodate two human feet within the bathing water. A steam generator is included and adapted to accept and contain steamable water, to convert the steamable water into steam, and to direct the steam through a steam vent disposed above the bathing water and at one or both of the soles of those feet when the feet are removed from the bathing water. Dry massage means, heating means, vibration, and aeration are also provided.
Abstract:
A hair curling brush comprises a convection heater and a barrel which encloses a halogen heating bulb. The barrel comprises a tube having both a plurality of bristles and a plurality of holes adjacent to the bristles. The heating bulb emits both visible light and infrared radiation. The barrel absorbs the infrared radiation but allows some visible light to escape through the holes. The brush includes a blower for forcing heated air from the barrel through the holes. The visible light glowing from the barrel provides an indicator of the heater's energization.
Abstract:
A hair dryer having both a fan-forced convection heater and radiant heater which emits energy having wavelengths in both the infrared and visible spectrum. The housing of the dryer is translucent to visible light but absorbent of infrared radiation and arranged to facilitate the transfer of heat generated by the absorption of the infrared radiation into the fan-forced airflow. The visible light emanating from the dryer provides an indicator of the dryer's operation and a warning of the presence of the otherwise invisible and otherwise dangerous infrared radiation.
Abstract:
A battery powered electric curling brush/iron includes an elongated cylindrical electrically heated wand detachably connected to the end of a hollow handle by a pair of separable electrical connector terminals. The handle houses rechargeable batteries for supplying electrical power to the wand through the connector terminals and a charging circuit for recharging the batteries from an external AC household source through a connector plug movable from a retracted position in the handle to an extended position projecting through an opening in a wall thereof. The opening is closed by a slidable cover having a closed position wherein the opening is covered, the batteries are disconnected from the wand and the plug is retracted; a partially open position wherein the cover operates a switch to connect the wand to the batteries and the plug is retracted; and an open position wherein the wand is again disconnected from the batteries and the plug may be manually moved to its extended position to allow recharging of the batteries through the charging circuit.The wand is heated by a metal foil resistance heating element electrically insulated by layers of Kapton film.
