Abstract (en)

A hair curling device has a hand grip (10), and a heating barrel (20) extending from the hand grip to have a lengthwise axis. A hair clamp (30) is held by the hand grip to be moveable between a hair lamping position and a release position. The hair clamp is curved in match with the curling surface in order to curl the hair clamped between the hair lamp and the barrel. The device includes at least one negative ion generator (60) with an ion port (82) for emitting negative ions. The negative ion generator gives a cone emission axis along which the negative ions are emitted out through the ion port in an emission cone. The ion port is located at a portion offset axially from the barrel as well as offset circumferentially from the hair clamp with the cone emission axis being oriented in such a direction that the emission cone extends mainly along the axial of the barrel to cover a region outwardly of the curling surface of the barrel, i.e., the hair clamp. Thus, the negative ion generator can emit the negative ions in a concentrated manner to the hair just out of the hair clamp for adding the negative ion treatment effect to the curled hair.
