<p>A heated flat iron (1) includes a first elongated member (2) and a second elongated member (3) that are joined together at one end at a hinge (4). An electrical cord (5) is attached thereto and has a conventional plug (not shown) to connect the iron (1) to a conventional external electrical energy source. An upper plate (6) is attached to the first member (2), and a lower plate (7) us attached to the second member (3). The upper plate (6) comprises a longitudinally aligned groove (8), preferably including in the groove (8) a series of longitudinally spaced laterally oriented slot depressions (9). The lower plate (7) includes a set of raised ridges (10), each having a length L that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the second member (3), a height H measured in a direction extending away from the surface of the lower plate (7).</p> |
