Abstract
A hair curler set for heating a plurality of hair curling rollers includes an electric heater assembly. The set includes a housing having a rotatable shaft mounted therewithin. The longitudinal axis of the rotatable shaft is disposed substantially horizontally. The heater assembly comprises a generally circular disc and is mounted on the rotatable shaft at substantially the longitudinal mid-point thereof. A pair of mounting members are spaced at either end of the shaft. Each mounting member has a surface facing towards an opposed surface of the heater assembly. A plurality of rollers are mounted between the opposed surfaces of the mounting members and the heater assembly in a generally circular array.

6. A method of heating a plurality of hair curling rollers comprising the steps of:
-
inserting the rollers to be heated into a housing in a generally circular array distributed about the horizontal axis of the housing; connecting each of the rollers to a source of heat for heating each roller to a desired temperature level; and rotating the rollers about the horizontal axis to bring each roller to the apex of the circular array for enabling the user to selectively remove a roller from the housing. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A hair curler set for heating a plurality of hair curling rollers by an electrical heater assembly comprising:
-
a housing forming a generally U-shaped in cross section enclosure; a movable cover connected to said housing and having a closed position for enclosing the housing enclosure; a rotatable shaft mounted in the housing and having a longitudinal axis disposed substantially horizontally and extending generally parallel to one side of said housing; a first mounting member position at one end of the shaft and a second mounting member position at the other end of said shaft, each of said mounting members including a surface facing towards the longitudinal mid-point of said shaft, each of said surfaces including a plurality of circumferentially spaced steps, each of said steps having a spring mounted thereto; said heater assembly being mounted substantially at the longitudinal mid-point of said shaft for rotation therewith, said heater assembly having a first surface facing towards the surface of said first mounting member and a second surface facing towards the surface of said second mounting member, each of said surfaces of said heater assembly including a plurality of circumferentially spaced protuberances, each of said protuberances being longitudinally axially aligned with a corresponding step on said mounting members; and a plurality of rollers mounted about the rotatable shaft for rotation therewith about the longitudinal axis of said shaft, each of said rollers including a first end connected to one of the protuberances and a second end releasably held in said axially aligned step by said step spring. - View Dependent Claims (9)
