Abstract:
1. An apparatus for styling hair, which comprises: first and second members operatively connected to each other and adapted for relative movement between a generally open condition to receive a length of hair and a generally approximated condition to engage the length of hair, the first member having one of a locking pin or a locking slot; a brush mounted about a drive shaft disposed within the first member, the drive shaft adapted for rotational movement about a longitudinal axis defined thereby to cause corresponding rotational movement of the brush to brush the length of hair when the first and second members are in the approximated condition; a motor associated with one of the first and second members for driving the drive shaft; and a locking element releasably mounted to the first member, the locking element having the other of the locking pin or the locking slot, the locking element dimensioned and adapted for rotational movement about the longitudinal axis between a secured position where the locking pin is secured within the locking slot to secure the brush on the drive shaft and a release position where the locking pin is released from the locking slot to permit selective mounting and removal of the locking element and the brush relative to the drive shaft.
