I G. DONLIN HAIR EXTENDER Filed Sept. 50 1922 A) 4 INVEgEOR 4 Patented Mar. 13, 1923.
u i r GEORGE DONLIN, F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
HAIR EXTENDER.
Application filed September 30, 1922. Serial No. 591,652.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE DONLIN, a citizen of the United'states, and a resident of Newark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair Extenders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a hair extender which is adapted to be worn in order to dry the hair, and is particularly adapted for use by women, permitting long hair to be well spread and to be held at a distance from the head, so that either natural or artificial dry ing can be facilitated.
The invention is designed to provide a device which is held securely in position, with the sole attachment of the device disp'osed at the base of the neck, and furthermore, providing a light structure and one that, being devoid of attachment to the upper part of the head, leaves the whole space between the hair and the head free for fanning or the directing of a blast of warm air to the under surface of the ext-ended hair, and also providing a device that can be used either on the back of the head or the front of the head, according to the desire of the user.
Theinvention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a form of extender illustrating my invention. Figure 2 is a detail of one part of the device shown in Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of construction.
The device consists of a lower strand and an upper strand, the upper strand being supported from the lower strand, the upper strand being of larger radius than the lower one, and the upper strand acting as a medium against which the hair rests when extended, and the lower one acting as a support.
In the form shown in Figure 1 the lower strand is shown at and the upper strand is shown at 11, these strands being held in spaced relation by inclined strands 12 situated at desired points and in suflicient number to give stability to the extender, the preferred proportion of the parts being such as to hold the hair so that it hangs beyond the shoulders and clear of the back of the wearer, and due to this large radius it also thins the hair out so that air can pass through it more readily. f
The weight of the hair against the strand 11 is taken up by the support of the lower strand 10 resting against the neck, which forms a brace since it extends across the back part of the neck, and in order to provide a suitable bearing the strands 10 and 11 are made in the form of a semi-circle, or. a little more than a semi-circle, approximating a horse shoe-shape if desired.
In the form shown I have illustrated a device made of round wire strands, but it will be evident that strips or strands of other crosssection and shape can beused. This structure leaves all the space between the strand 11 and the head clear, and there is no interference with its easy removal and installation.
It will further be evident that while the normal position of the device is on the back of the head, if it is desired to turn the hair over this extender can be placed on the front, extending around the face, and the hair thrown over to permit a drying of such hair as might have been covered and not thoroughly dried when the hair hung down the back.
If desired, suitable clips 13 are secured to the lower strand, these being preferably resilient spring clips which grasp the shoulders preferably just below where the shoulders join the neck to insure the extender be ing held in position even when the extender is subjected to strains other than the weight of the hair, such as when the wearer moves about.
For ease of carriage the device can be made in two halves which are joined together, for instance, at the center of the back, the form shown consisting of sockets 14 on one half which form frictional holding means for the end 15 of the other half.
The spring clips 13 can be secured to the device in any well known manner, but in the form shown I bend up a portion of the metal from which the clips are made to form the eyes or loops 16 crimped or bent around the lower strand.
In Figure 3 I show a modified form in which the wire of which the extender is made is twisted, as at 17, to form the projecting arms 18 which can be covered with rubber or other suitable soft material, thus forming clips for assisting in holding the device in position. I also show in this figure a device made in two halves, the supporting strands 12 of which at the rear can beheld together by suitable clips 19, thus providing for an easy assembling or an easy separation of the parts, which is desirable if the article is to be carried in baggage, etc.
It will be evident that slight changes can be made in the details of the parts without departing from the scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. A hair extender comprising a lower strand to rest on the sides and bark of the wearers neck, and an upper strand of larger radius above the lower strand and supported solely thereby.
2. A hair extender comprising a pair of horse shoe-shaped strands, one being much larger in radius than the other, and inclined strands connecting said first mentioned strands.
3. A hair extender comprising a lower strand to rest on the sides and back of the wearers neck, an upper strand of larger radius above the lower strand and supported solely thereby and clips on the lower strand to clasp the shoulders of the wearer adja- GEORGE DONLIN.
