Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9835578A1] The invention concerns hair styling tongs (1) comprising heating plates (3 and 5) fixed at the end of two branches (11 and 13) of a handle (7). The invention is characterised in that a central element (9) of the handle (7) acts as guide for the branches (11 and 13) which can move from an entirely contracted position bringing the two heating plates (3 and 5) in complete contact, to a maximal spaced position bringing the two branches (11 and 13) in contact with the stops (19) of the central element (9), spring elements (23) ensuring in the absence of action on the branches (11 and 13) the maximal spacing of the branches (11 and 13). The invention is useful as a hair straightening and styling device enabling the user to practise his dexterity by modifying the relative position of the plates, either in parallel position or by selecting the front or rear contact.
