摘要:The present invention is directed to a novel adjustable diameter hair curler which is extremely lightweight, portable, and suitable for travel. The novel adjustable curler includes a sheet (10) of a flexible material such as a plastic or fabric or backing material. The sheet (10) has a first planar side (14) and a second planar side (18) opposite said first planar side. Attached to the first side (14) of the sheet (10) is an array of hook-type elements (12) from a hook and loop type fastening system such as VELCRO brand hook and loop fasteners available from VELCRO Industries of Manchester, New Hampshire. The hook-type elements (12) are generally arrayed over the bulk of the first side (14). Attached to at least a portion of the second side (18) are looptype fasteners (16) or a material which will stick to the hook-type fasteners (12). By rolling the sheet (10) to form a cylinder so that a portion of the sheet overlaps another portion of the sheet, the hook and loop fasteners (14, 16) may interact to hold the cylinder's shape with relative ease and complete adjustability of cylinder diameter. Lock-in of the shape may be accomplished easily with a single hand. For storage, the sheets (10) may be completely flattened for storage or transport in a very minimal volume.
