METHOD or MAKING WIGS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
mama Sept. as, rain Application filed lviarch 2,1916. Serial No. 81,689.
, outside of a cap shaped frame made of textile fabric, usually by sewing the wefts thereto. are arranged in spaced and parallel hori- 'zontal relation to each other and the hair falling downwardly covers the seams and give the appearance of one continuous body of hair, resembling the natural growth of hair on the human scalp. The method hith-- erto in use of making these separate wefts was to take a plurality of strands of cords, usually three in number and to interweave tufts of hair by braiding the strands of the cords upon the upper-ends of said tufts of hair. This method of making the wefts is slow and laborious. I have devised a new method of making wefts which is exceednew method is superior inappearance and 40.
also more durable than the wigs made' up of 'weftsproduced by the old method. Furthermore the new'improved wefts of hair are more durable, the ends of the hair being The greater portion of the wefts,
making the weft, and the resulting weft and wig.
Figure l is a plan view of a sheet of tissue paper having a strip of rubber tissue and a layer of hair placed thereon. Fig. 2 is a plan view with parts broken away of the same as shown in Fig. 1,.shcwing a second sheet of tissue paper placed on top. Fig. 3 1s a plan View of the weft shown in Fig. 2, the tissue paper having been ripped oil after the strip of rubber tissue has been sewed and the short ends of the hair of the weft has been turned upon itself preliminary to sewing the second seam. Figs. 4, 5 and (i are vertical sections on an enlarged scale taken on lines M, 55, and 66 of Figs. 1, 2 and3, respectively. Fig. 7 shows the application of a hot pressing tool used for causing the folded strip of rubber tissue and front elevation of a wig looking into the interior of the frame.
A sheet of paper preferably tissue paper 10 of a size to correspond to the width of the weft desired and the length of the hair used is placed flat on a suitable support, such as a table. A narrow strip of rubber tissue 12 is placed transversely across the paper, about one half to one inch from the right hand side of said sheet of paper. A layer of hair 11, all of which is running in the same direction, is evenly distributed thereon as shown in Fig. 1, the rootends of.
the hair being on the right hand end ofthc tissue paper and projecting beyond the strip tissue paper 13 of a size and shape to-corrspond to the sheet of tissue paper 11 isplaced on top of the hair. In the practical operation of the method, one operator will arrange a number of these units consisting of two sheets of tissue paper between which a layer of hair is evenly arranged and which is provided with the strip. of rubber tissue as just described, and pile them one on top of the other until a large stack is produced. An-
of rubber tissue 12. Then-another sheet of other operator will takethe stack and pass '7 each unit under theneedle of a sewing machine, sewing a seam 14: along and through the strip of rubber tissue 12, the tissue paper being sufficiently translucent to enable the in Fig. 6. The weft of hair is again passed under the needle of the sewing machine and a second seam 17 is, made sewing the folded edges of said strip together.
The rubber tissue used in my method .is a commercial article used by tailors and dressmakers and is known under the name of rubber tissue. The same contains a large portion of rubber, and will, when heated, become soft and melt. While I use the rubber tissue described, it-willbe understood that any other suitable. stripof' material which is flexible and which ma be sewed, and which has the property-ofusing when heated to a suitable temperature may be em-,
*ployed. 1 j
The next step in the process of my method is to subject the folded and sewn strip of rubber tissue to a hot pressing operation. For that purpose, I prefer to use a hot pressingtool shownin Fig. 5, which consists of a pair of fiat jaws, 18 pivoted together and manually operated'by meansof handles-i9. The jaws of said tool-are heated .to a suitable temperature and applied to successive portions of the rubber tissue 12 throughout its length. This hot pressing operation will cause the rubber tissue to melt'or fuse and form one solid strip. 'By the hot pressing operation just described, the individual hairs are firmly imbedded in said strip.
The wefts of hair produced as described are now sewed on a textile frame 20 shown in Fig. 9 to form the wig. The wig thus made is superior to the wigs produced by the old "method in which the wefts are made by braiding strands of cords together between.
which tufts or wisps of hainhave been interwoven, for the reason that my improved weftshave the hair more evenly distributed.
1 Furthermore the hairs are firmly 'embedded' or set in therubber tissue.
- The principal object of this invention is to produce an improved weft by embedding individual hair in a strip of thin ilubberlike material.
While I. have shown the preferred method of producing wefts and wigs, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes in the steps of my method may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A method of making wefts for wigs comprising unifonnlyspreading a layer of hair on a sheet of tissue paper, said tissue paper having a strip of rubber tissue placed transversely across and under said layer of hair, the root enuof said hair being on one side and pro ect ng for a small distance beyond said strip offubber tissue, placing.
a second sheet of tissue paper over said layer of hair, sewing a seam through said sheets. and l1211I,Sa1d seam passing longitudinally through said strip, tearingf off the sheets of tissue paper doubling the root end of the layer of hair upon the long end thereof,
doubling the strip of rubber tissue upon itself, sewing the folded edges of said rub ber tissue together and 'hot pressing said strip of rubber tissue to cause the folded portions to unite to. form: a solid strip.
which the hair is firmly embedded.
2. A method of making wefts for wigs comprising uniformly spreading a layer of hair on a sheetof paper, said paper having a strip of rubber tissue placed transversely across and under said layer of hair, the root ends of said hair'being on one side and projecting for a small distance beyond said.
strip of rubber tissue, placing a second sheet of paper over said layer of hair, sewing a seam through said sheets and hair, said seam'passing longitudinally through said strip, removing said sheets from the weft,
doubling the short end of the layer of hair upon the long end thereof, doubling. the strip of rubber tissue upon itself, sewing the folded edges of said rubber tissue together i and subjecting said strip to heat to form a solid strip in which the hair is firmly em bedded.
3. A method'of making wefts for wigs,
comprisingspread'ing a layer of hair trans versely of a strip of material fusible at ele-= vated temperatures so that the root ends of said hair project on one side for a small dis-c tance beyond said strip, sewing a seam through said hair, said seam passing longi-.
tudinally through said strip, doubling the short 'end of the layer of hair on the long.
end, doubling said strip upon itself, sewing the folded edges of said strip together, and;
subjecting the same to heat to cause the folded portionto 'unite' andfform a solid strip in which the hair is firmly embedded. 4. A method of making wefts for wigs,
comprising uniformly spreading-a layer of hair transversely over a strip of rubber tissue so that the root ends of said hair project on one side for a small distance beyond said strip, sewing a seam through said hair, said seam passing'longitudinally through said strip; doubling the short end of the layer of hair upon the long end, doubling the strip of rubber tissue upon'itself, sewing the folded edges of said rubber tissue 5. A Wig comprisinga flexible frame'hav- ,ing a plurality of Wefts in which the root ends of the hair are firmly embedded in a thin solid strip of materialfivhich is fusible at elevated temperatures.'- 1,
6 A wig comprising a flexible frame having a plurality of Wefts in which the root ends of the separate hairs are firmly ,embedded in a thin solid strip of flexible material.
7. A Weft for Wigscomprising a layer of one side. and turned upon itself, the hair along the crease-being embedded in a single solid strip of flexible. material.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
