Abstract (en)
A hair-styling device (1) comprising a handle (2) with first (10) and second (20) housings having proximal (11) and distal (12) ends. A pivot joint is formed at the proximal ends (11) to bias the distal ends (12) away from each other. The distal ends (12) have a concave opening (30) with male terminal pins disposed therein. A plurality of sets of hair-styling attachments are provided. Each attachment has a proximal end, a distal end, and a heating element. A female connector is formed on the proximal end of the attachment. The proximal ends of the attachments are configured to telescope into the concave opening (30) so that the female connectors mate with the male terminal pins. A lock (8) is provided for locking the handle (2) in a closed position with the housings parallel to one another. A power cord (9) is disposed at the proximal end (11) of the handle (2) for supplying power to the device.
