RAMON BOV, OF NEW'YORK, N. Y.

HAR-WAVING APPLIANCE.

Application led October 17, 1922. Serial No. 595,077.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, RAMON Bov, a sub- 'ect of the King oi- Spain, residing at New lYork city, State of N ew York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Hair-Waving Appliances, of which the Jfoll lowing is a specification.

This invention is a hair-dressing device and has for its object the provision oi a simple and inexpensive mechanism by the use of which a permanent wave may be 'formed in the human hair. A particular object of the present invention is to provide means whereby the hair-engaging members may be locked in a set position while torming the hair so that the wave produced in the hair will remain for a long period so that it. will be practically per-manen rlhe invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and will be hereinafter fully set forth.

ln the drawings- Figure 1 is a view showingmy improved device applied to strands of hair as it appears when in use;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view ot the device removed from the hair;

Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the hairengaging members open to receive the hair;

Fig. l is a plan view showing the hair-engaging members closed and in the position assumed when in use;

Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the same, and

Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a plurality of hair-engaging members, each of which consists of a trough-like body 1 having its side edges serrated or provided with teeth 2. These trough-like hair-engaging members are provided with pertorations 3 through their bottoms so as to permit a circulation or' hot air or other forms ot heat through the hair which may be secured in the trough. Constructed to tit within each trough-like body l is an upper coveringl member 4 which is of similar shape and is provided with pertorations 5 through its bottom. At one end the covering member is formed with a hook 6 adapted to engage through an opening 7 in the adiacent end of the base member l and therebyV hingedlv connect the two members, as will be readily understood upon reference to Fig. 6. At the opposite end of the upper covering member, I secure a spring latch 8 which is adapted to pass through a notch 9 Jformed in the end ot the base member and engage against the under side of the said member so as to hold the two members in closed relation to clamp the hair between them. Each set or series of hair-engaging devices may include any desired number of units and t-o the under side of each unit or base member 1, I pivotally attach one end of a link 10 whereby the units are held together but may have relative movement. Bv referring to Fig. 5 more particularly, it will be noted that the links are pivoted at lixed points to the alternate members and to the intervening members they are connected by pin and slot connections, as shown at l1. This pin and slot arrangement will permit the relative endwise movement of the units to be varied within the limits permitted by the slots so 'that waves ot greater or less length may be formed in the hair according` to individual preferences. l also pivotally attach to the under side of each end unit of each series or set, posts 12, one of which posts has secured to or formed integal therewith a locking pin 13 which is adapted to pass through a diametrical opening formed through the other post, as shown in Fig. 6, and in the latter post is mounted a binding screw 14 which is adapted to bear upon the pin and secure the same rigidly in the post so that the several units will be locked in the position in which they may be set.

In using the apparatus, the upper or covering members 4; of the several units are swung to open position, as shown in Fig. 3, and the units are all arranged in extended spaced relation, as shown in said ligure, the link connections between the units serving to hold them parallel, as shown. The device is placed in position upon the head of the person whose hair is to be treated and so much of the hair as may be accommodated by the units is placed over the base members of the same. The upper members are then brought down over the hair and will be held in the closed position by the action of the several latches 8 in an obvious manner. The units are then given relative endwise movement in opposite directions so as to assume the positions shown in Figs. l, et and 5, the binding screw 14 being'then turned home so that the parts.

will be locked in the position illustrated. As the several units are given relative endwise movement, they will be caused to move toward each other longitudinally oit the series or set through the action of the links and the hair engaged by the several units will be, consequently, moved first to one side and then to the other side so that waves will be termed therein. Heat is then applied tothe device by the application of wet cloths or in anyl otherV preferred manner or the hair may be moistenedsomewhat before being engaged in the several units and then dry heat applied by the application of an air blast or otherwise.k Thel perforations through the several members permit the heat to circulate through the hair and when the excess moisture has been driven trom the hair, the device may be removed, whereupon it will be found that the hair has assumed a waved or curled term which will remain lixed for a long.;` period and will not be entirely lost unless the hair. be repeatedly combed or brushed in such a manner as lto positively return it to a straight condition.

My device is very simple in its construe` tion and eiicient in operation. lt may be easily. manipulated and7 as it is constructed of light metal, it will not be uncomfortable when in use, and inasmuch as the hair is en-V gaged between two clamping' members, it is protected against the'directaction of eX- cessive heat so that it is not relieved of all natural moisture and rendered brittle.

ifiviei Having thus described the invention,V

what is claimed as new is: y

l. A hair-waving device comprising a plurality of hair-clamping` members, link connections between theV several members whereby they may have movement toward Y or `from each other lengthwise of the series bers of the series, said links being pivoted at fixed points on alternate units and having slots in their tree ends, studs on the intermediate units each engaged by the slotted ends of two links, and means mounted on the under sides of some oly the units for locking the series of unitsin a set position.V Y.

A. hair-waving` device comprising a set Y of hair-*engaging units, link connections be-.

tween theseveral units whereby tney may have relative movement toward and from eachother lengthwise o'l-V the set and also for relative endwise movementl transversely o'l2 the'set, posts pivotally mounted on the `under sides ot some of the units, a locking pin carried by one of said posts and extending through the other post, and means cai'.-

ried'by the latter post 'orloc-king thepin therein. v
