Application filed December 21, 1921. Serial No. 523,849.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY E. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Fort Worth, in thecounty of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-WVave Formers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to hair waving or curling or crimping devices; and the object I is to provide a simple hair pin or waving device for waving hair so that hair may be waved or coiled by a harmless method without heating the hair and without rolling the hair with paper and other annoying schemes. The advantage of the improved waving device is that a person can sleep with'the hair coiled with a ribbon without being disturbed or annoyed with the disagreeable paper rolls. Another advantage is that the process of waving the hairis made simple and easily accomplished. Other objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application.

Fig. 1 is a face view of the pin or waver. Fig. 2 shows the same with the ribbon caught on the handle and wound on the branches ready to receive the hair. Fig. 3 shows the same with the hair wound on the ribbon. Fig. 4: illustrates a pin or waver which is a variation from the device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 illustrates a pin or waver which is a variation from the device shown in Fig. 4.

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

The improved waver or' coiling device is made preferably of flat metal which has more or less resiliency and has a knob or handle 1 and

ribbon holding branches

2 and 3 which should be spaced apart so that the hair will be sufliciently spread when wound thereon to form the desired wave or coil. The terminals of the

branches

2 and 3 are reduced and rounded at the ends and elongated eyes t are made in the branches near their ends for receiving the ends of a ribbon 5 which has been caught on the handle 1 and wound on the branches. After the hair has been wound on the

branches

2 and 3, the ribbon 5 is released from the handle 1 and the waver or coiling device is withdrawn, leaving the ribbon to maintain the hair in the form of the wave or coil wanted. The ribbon may.

remain in the hair as long as required for maklng the wave or coil permanent. The r bbon may remain in the hair. during the night without disturbing the wearer and the wearer will be as comfortable"as without the ribbon. The ends of the ribbon may be tied together after the waver is withdrawn.

The form of waver or coiling device shown n Fig. 4t may be made and used. is made of a small steel or other metal strip which may be uniform throughout its length except near the terminals. This form also has the eyes f for the ribbon. The form of waver or coiling device shown in Fig. 5 is sim lar to the device shown in Fig. 4, both having a handle or knob 6 formed by loopng the steel bar or strip on itself and formlng an eye. Instead of eyes in the terminals of the branches, the ends are bifurcated 01" slots are formed in the ends to receive the ends of the ribbon which may be placed in the slots without having to thread the ribbon into the eyes 4. for holding the ribbon in place while the hair is being adjusted on the branches. lVhen the hair has been arranged the ribbon is removed from the notches 7 so that the former can be removed.

What I claim, is,-

1. A hair waver comprising a body having a handle and branches projecting therefrom and said branches having pointed terminals and eyes spaced from the terminals to receive a holding ribbon.

2. A hair waver comprising a body having a handle and branches projecting therefrom, said branches having pointed terminals and eyes spaced from the terminals, and a ribbon caught 011 said handle and wound on said branches and threaded in said eyes.

3. A hair waver comprising a body. having a handle and branches projecting therefrom made of a single piece of flat metal, said branches being spaced apart and having rounded terminals and having eyes therethrough spaced from said terminals, and a ribbon caught on said handle and wound on said branches and threaded through said eyes.

4. A hair wave former comprising a body having an eye therethrough constituting a handle and branches projecting therefrom and spaced apart and having rounded terminals and eyes through said branches This form Notches 7 are provided ing a handle and branches projecting therefrom and notches on each side of said body for a, ribbon and said branches having eyes 10 near the ends for receiving the ribbon.

In testimony whereof, I set my hand, this 16th day of December 1921.

MARY THOMPSON.
