Specication of Letters Patent. Y Patgnted Feb. 3 9 191% Application led December 26, 1916. Serial No. 139,011.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN H. SGHENCK and LICIA E. SGHENCK, citizens of the United States, residing at Cedar Rapids, in the county of Linn and State of Iowa, have invented. certain new and. useful Improvements in Hair-Curlers; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as 1,0 will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to devices used for the curling and waving of hair, the object of the invention being to produce an im- F proved device whereby an entire head of hair may be conveniently arranged and simultaneously curled, with no discomfortto the subject, by the application of hot water or equivalent moist' heat.
The invention is fully disclosed in the description and claims following, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an external plan view of a device embodying the invention, as in use.
Fig. 2 is a view showing the internal parts, with one half of the case removed. Fig. 3 is a view of the same as seen from the lower end. Fig. 4 is a section taken in the line A4 4, looking toward the upper end. Fig. 5 is -a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 2, but with the movable parts removed.. In the drawing, 1 and 2 are the halves of a casing, which join lengthwise to form an oblong receptacle, substantially oval or elliptical in cross section. Projecting from the sides are lugs 3, and between the lugs of one half are hinged clamp-bolts 4 provided with suitable thumb-nuts 5, which engage the lugs of the other half to bind the two halves together, as shown. Along the sides of one, at least, of the casing halves are grooves 6 united to a cross-groove 7 across the lower end, and in the continuous groove so formed is closely tted a packing Y ably rather soft rubber. This renders the drawn tightly together by the clamp-screws. In practice the side-grooves may be dispensed with in one of the halves, but the end-groove is retained, so that a pair of the packin strips face each other along this part o the casing, for a purpose that will appear presently.
In the middle of the upper end of each strip 8 of a suitable pliable material, prefery casing water-tight when the halves arecasing half is a semi-circular recess 9, the hole so formed, when the halves are joined, belng adapted to receive a simple electrical heatmg cartridge 10, having suitable terminals 11. connectible with an electric circuit, a lightmg system, usually. This heater is 1n general use, and need not be particularlv described.' v
A t each side of the heater is mounted a tube 12, on which is coiled a lock of hair 13, as shown. Each tube is provided with a number of holes 14 to receive the thread or cord 15 by which the hair is fastened to the tube. This is done by first tying the lock a short distance from the head 16, then fastening it securely at what is to be the lower end of the tube, and then, while the end of the tube is held by one hand, coilino' the lock of hair around the tube in a spiral until the end of the hair is reached. This action not only coils the hair on the tube, but twists it at the same time, which is desirable, in order to bring it into the smallest possible space. The end is tied and made fast to the upper portion of the tube,
vthrough one of the series of holes therein,
a number being4 provided for varying lengths of hair. The outside of each tube is spirally grooved at 17, so that water may passv freely up and down the tube and under the hair wound thereon.
A simple and convenient device for holding the tubes in position is shown in Figs. 2, 4 and 5. It consists of a pair of clips 90 18, whose bases 19 are fastened to one of the casings by screws 20. From the base of each clip upturned and outwardly extending arms 21 are provided to receive the abutting ends of the tubes, as by upstruck bosses 22 95 corresponding to the inside caliber of the tubes. The lower clip may be fastened close to the lower end, but the upper one is set a little space therefrom, so as to allow for a little spring of the arms. This clip, at least, should therefore be of elastic material, preferably spring brass. The tube is attached by putting either end in position over the boss, and pushing the other end to its corresponding position. v
When in use the device is suspended by a wire 23 from any suitable overhead support, as from the ceiling, or an electrolier, not shown.
In Fig. 2, one of the tubes is shown bare, 110 and the other with a coil of hair thereon. In practice it is to be understood that both 1 fitting neatly over each half of the casing,
sides are used as shown in Fig. 1. After een coiled on the tubes, as` above described, adjacent tubes are set 1n the the hair has' cases in pairs, with the short portions of yhair next the head. spread out, as shown.
These iattened locks of hair thus lie between the adjacent lower ends of the casin when the halves are joined, and as bot halves, are provided with soft strips of packing material the hair is pressed neatly and hermetically between them. The entire head of hair, or any part thereof, may be treated at one time, bythe use of as kmany of the devices as may be needed. When in position, and suitably suspended over the head, the casings are partially filled with water,
the heaters are inserted, and the electric.
current switched in. In due time, by the boiling of the water, the hair is given a ermanent set in curls or waves, accord- 1ng to a familiar treatment of cut hair fo thesame purpose.
The process is of course attended with the development of considerable heat. This, however is insulated from the head of the subject v inclosing the casing or water chamber b a non-conducting jacket. This,
as herein s own, is a shell 24 of sheet metal and secured thereto, as by screws 25.. Between the shell and the casing is a layer of .suitable non-conductor, such 'as asbestos,
mineral wool, or the like.
So constructed, the device is adapted for the easy and rapid curling or waving of hair on the head, by the hot water method, which gives 4permanent results without injury to the hair, and also without any discomfort to the subject. 1
The curling members, hereafter referred to as coilers, are herein shown as tubes, and
in practice are preferably made of aluminum, as is also the casing, for the sake of lightness. lOtherwise the coilers might be .and Vpaeking-strips adapted to form a'watertight joint between the halves of the easing, the stripsacrossthe hair-receiving end being adapted to close about the entering locks of hair and prevent leakage.
2. In a haircurler, a casing composed of a pair of. hollow, oblong halves dividing the casing endwise, clamps adapted to bind the halves together, interposed `packing strips to form a water-tight joint, a pair of opposed strips being provided at the hairentering end, an insertible, centrally disposed electric heater, and laterally disposed coilers to receive the-coiled hair.
3. In a hair-curler, a casing composed of a, pair of oblong hollow halves with a centrally disposed recess at the u per end of each, an electric heater insertlble therein, clamps to bind the halves together, interposed packing adapted to make a watertight oint around locks of inserted hair, lateral y dis osed coil members, and fasteners there or `adapted ito' hold them in Vproper position each side of the heater.
4. In a hair-curler, the combination of a casing composed of a pair of halves dividing the casing lengthwise, an insertible, centrally disposed heater, curlers disposed each side thereof and parallel therewith, and clips engaging the ends of said curlers elastically.
5. In a hair curler, the combination of a e casing composed of a pair' of halves dividing the casing lengthwise and flatwise, an insertible, centrally disposed'heater, a watertight packin for the casing, coil tubes disposed each slde of the heater and parallel therewith, a fixed boss to engage one end of each tube, and an elastic clip havin a boss for each of the other ends of the tu es.
6. In 'a hair-curler, the combination of a to permit the passage of water between the hair and said curling members.
In testlmony whereof we aiix our slgna'- tures 1n presence of two witnesses.
