Abstract
A portable electric battery operated hair curler having a handle detachable from a curling barrel provided with an electric heating element. The handle contains rechargeable batteries and a recharger, and has a first set of electrical connectors at its front end for mating with a set of electrical connectors at the back end of the curling barrel. The handle further includes a second pivotally mounted electrical connection means in the front end of the handle connected to the battery charger for connecting the charger to an external power source. The pivoted second connection is accessible for use only when the barrel is detached from the handle and is then movable from a stored position in the handle to a position projecting from one side of the handle for connection to the external power source.
