Abstract (en)
A first jaw (12) is rigidly fixed to the handle (11) of the iron (10), with a second heated jaw (13) and clamp (16) pivotally fixed to the first jaw (12). Complementary flat surfaces on the first (12) and second (13) jaws allow hair to be straightened therebetween and complementary curved faces on the clamp (16) and second jaw provide for hair held therebetween to be waved. Both jaws (12,13) and the clamp (16) have apertures with keyway portions therein. A pivot (19) is received in the apertures for connecting the jaws (12,13) and clamp (16). The pivot (19) has axially spaced key portions of complementary shape to the keyway portions. The pivot (19) is moveable substantially parallel to a pivot axis of the pivot (19) between a first position for connecting the second jaw (13) and the clamp (16) together for pivoting relative to the first jaw (12) and a second position, for connecting the first (12) and second (13) jaws together, while permitting relative pivoting of the clamp (16).
