There is provided a contactless electricity-supplying device that can safely and efficiently supply power to a load. A contactless electricity-supplying device includes a plurality of electricity-supplying coils; a DC/AC converter that converts an output voltage from a DC supplying unit into an AC voltage to be applied to each electricity-supplying coils; a plurality of electricity-receiving coils selectively and detachably mounted on positions where the electricity-receiving coils are electromagnetically coupled to the electricity-supplying coils to receive AC voltages from the corresponding electricity-supplying coils in a contactless manner; a plurality of rectifying/smooth units that each convert an AC voltage output from each electricity-receiving coil into a DC voltage and smooth the DC voltage; a switching device that connects the DC voltages output from the rectifying/smoothing units to a single load; an electricity-reception detection sensor for detecting that the electricity-receiving coils receive the AC voltages from the corresponding electricity-supplying coils; and a control unit that turns on the switching device when it is detected that all of the electricity-receiving coils receive the AC voltages from the corresponding electricity-supplying coils.

A heating type hair waving appliance includes a bonnet in which the hairline area of the head of a patron is inserted and a plurality of infrared radiation lamps serving as a source of heat for heating the hairline area. A controller is implemented with a microcomputer semiconductor integrated circuit for receiving inputs applied via an input keyboard and placing the plurality of the infrared lamps into predetermined conditions. A solid state display provides a display of the operative state of the infrared lamps and an ultrasonic type atomizer is provided for generating moisture-laden mist which in turn is guided into the interior of the bonnet.

A hair waving appliance of the type having a hood assembly includes a plurality of independently controllable heating means such as infrared heaters or lamps valves each disposed to heat a different hairline area of the head of a patron. A temperature control and a timer are provided for individual ones of the heating elements for controlling a temperature and a period of heating independently of one another. In addition, an ultrasonic atomizer is provided within the head supporting assembly to generate moisture-laden air mist, imparting longer-lasting curl retention. A heating temperature or a period of heating can be determined under the control of at least either the temperature control or the timer depending upon the hair nature of the hairline areas and personal taste of the patron.
