HAIR-WA'VING DEVICE.

Application filed J'anuary' 25, 1923. Serial no. 614,863.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J osnrn MORENILLA, a subject of the King of Spain, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Hair-Vaving Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in hair dressing implements, and has particular reference to a device for producing a Marcel wave.

An object of the invention is to provide an imprpved means for waving a strand of hair in two directions by the cooperation of members, all of which are controlled from a single source.

Another object is to. provide improved means for securing a strand of hair in position between two cooperating members in such manner that said strand may be effectively waved 'in two directions.

The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detail description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the inventive idea.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device showing the parts in their normal positions;

Figure 2 is a similar view of the parts in the position assumed at the termination of the initial stage of operation;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device showing the parts in completely operated position;

Figure 4 is a;plan view of the device with the parts in the position shown in Figure 3;

Figure 5 is a transverse section on the line 55 of Figure 3;

Figure 6 is a detail perspective view of a spring employed in connection with the invention; and

Figure 7 is a plan view of a strand of hair showing the same waved in accordance with the present invention.

The device is shown as comprising a base member 10, the inner portion of which is bifurcated to provide opposed plates 11, the free extremities 12 of which are bent into overlapping relation and secured to the end of a handle 13 by means of a screw or other fastener 14. Mounted between the plates 11 is a clamping member 15, which is partially I supported by means of a pin 16 extending between the plates 11 of the member 10 and operable in curved slots 17 formed in opposite sides of the inner end of the member 15. This inner end of the member 15 is provided with an arcuate slot 18, the outer end of which receives a pivot 19 carried by the intermediate portion of an iron 20, the inner end of which is pivoted at 21 to a handle 22 which cooperates with the handle 13.

Whenthe parts are in normal position, as shown in Figure 1, the pivot 19 also extends through the outer ends of arcuate slots 23 formed in the side plates 11 of the member 10 and the slots 18 and 23 are so disposed that when the parts are moved to the position shown in Figure 2, the same will register with each other. The pivot 19 is yieldingly maintained in the outer extremities of the slots 18 and 23 by a resilient member 24 which is bent upon itself, as shown in Figure 6, the intermediate portion of said member being secured to the handle 13 by means of the screw 14 and the extremities of said member being engaged with the pivot 19 to normally exert an outward pressure thereagainst. The handle 22 has a bent plate 25 secured thereto, said plate including an extension 26 in which the pivot 21 is mounted and also including the curved arms 27 which extend exteriorly on both sides of the plates 11. The outer extremities of the arms 27 are connected by a pivot 28 which normally engages in the outer ends of arcuate slots 29 formed in the plates 11.

By reason of this construction, it will be seen that when the handles'13 and 22 are initially compressed or moved toward each other the member 10 will swing about the pivot 19 and although said member will have a tendenc to move outwardly in swinging about sai pivot, by reason of the slots 23, the same will be prevented from doing so by the resiliency of the spring 24. In thus moving about the pivot 19 the pin 16 will be caused to move to the opposite ends of the short slots 17 formed in the member 15 and at the same time the pivot 28 will move longitudinally of the slots 29 toward the inner ends thereof. This relative movement of the members 10 and 15 continues about the pivot 19 until the pivot 28 reaches the inner ends of the slots 29, at which time the slots 18 and 23 will be in registration, or substantially so.

When the parts have reached the position shown in Figure 2, further movement of the

handles

13 and 22 toward each other will be about the pivot 28 inasmuch as the same has now reached the inner ends of the slots 29 and the slots 18 and 23 are in registration. It will be obvious that movement of the handles toward each other subsequent to the parts reaching the position shown in Figure 2 and with the pivot 28 in the position shown in said figure, the spring 24: will be unable to further yieldingly maintain the pivot 19 in the outer extremities of the slots 18 and 23. This pivot 19 being carried by the iron 20, the inner end of which is pivotall connected at 21 to the handle 22, it will e apparent that as the latter handle is moved toward the position shown in Figure 3, an inward pull upon the iron 20 will be eli'ected and the pivot 19 will move inwardly in the slots 18 and 23 against the tension of the spring 24- to the position shown in Figure 3, where the parts are illustrated as being completely operated. The configuration of the spring 2% is such that when the

handles

13 and 22 are released said spring will ;react to restore the parts to their normal positions.

The outer portion of the base member 10 is preferably of trough-like formation in cross section, as best illustrated in Figure 5, the central portion of said member 10 being curved longitudinally to provide a recess for receiving a part of the strand of hair and the longitudinal edges of said member 10 being bent upon themselves to provide flanges 30 which are spaced from the side walls of the central portion. Also along each longitudinal edge of the central portion of the member 10 the same is provided with a plurality of openings 31 for receiving the projections or teeth 32 of the clamping member 15 when said member is in the position shown in Figure 3. The clamping member 15 at its outer end is enlarged, as clearly shown in Figure 4, and provided with an elongated opening 33 upon the longitudinal edges of which said projections or teeth 32 are formed. As the base and clamping members 10 and 15 and the iron 20 are brought into cooperating relation the strand of hair is engaged between. the iron and the bottom of the central portion of the member 10 so that said strand will be waved longitudinally. Simultaneously with the action the teeth or projections 32 extend into the openings 31 and secure the portion of the strand engaged by the clamping member in such position that said portion will be prevented from any longitudinal movement relative to the base and clamping members. However, in the final movement of the handles from the position shown in Figure 2 to that illustrated in Fi ure 3, the longitudinal movement of the iron 20 with respect to the base and clamping members previously described is utilized to wave that portion of the strand engaged between the base member and iron in a transverse direction so that when the strand is removed from the device it will have the appearance shown in Figure 7. To facilitate the production of the transverse wave the member 20 is provided with a plurality of teeth 34, the efiective surfaces of which are pitched inwardly and gradually increase in thickness toward the portion of the iron adjacent the bottom of the central portion of the base member 10.
