MARCEL HAIR WAVER.

Application filed May 13, 1926. Serial No. 108,901.

marcel waves may be made in the hair in a comparatively short time and without the aid of heat.

With the foregoing and other objects in 1 view, the nature of which will appear as light sheet metal suitably treated to pre-,

the description proceeds, the invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully de scribed and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a hair waver constructed in accordance with my invention,

Figure 2 is a similar view of the hair waver looking at the opposite side thereof,

Figure 3 is a perspective View of the hair waver, and

Figure 4 is a View in end elevation of the hair waver.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description, and designated in the several views of the accompanying drawing, by similar reference characters.

The hair waver is preferably made of vent corrosion thereof. It comprises a central portion or bar 1, terminal arms extending from one longitudinal edge of the bar, an intermediate arm 3 extending from said edge of the bar, and arms 4 extending from the other longitudinal edge of the bar. The arm 3 is located centrally between the arms 2, and the arms 4 are spaced apart for a distance equal to the width of the arm 3. The

arms

2, 3 and 4 are perforated as shown at 5 to permit air to circulate freely therethrough. The bar 1 is offset as at 6 to position the arms 2 in spaced parallel relation to the

arms

3 and 4. The arm 3 is provided with a hook 7 and the arms 4 with hooks S. The

hooks

7 and 8 are resilient and of less width than and formed integrally with the

arms

3 and 4, and located at that side of the bar 1 beyond which the ofl set portions 6 extend. The

hooks

7 and 8 are of substantially U-t'orm and their open ends are located at the outer edges of the

arms

3 and 4. The inner members of the

hooks

7 and 8 are located in the plane of the arms 2, and the free ends of the outer members of the hooks project beyond the outer edges of the

arms

3 and 4 to facilitate the insertion of the hair into the hooks. Clasps 10 made of wire treated to prevent their corrosion and of substantially U-form, have their terminals looped as shown at 11. to engage slots 12 and openings 13 in the arms 2 whereby to pivotally connect the clasps to said arms. The clasgs 1O extent along those sides of the arms 2 corresponding to the sides of the

arms

3 and 4 opposite which the

hooks

7 and 8 are located, and extend beyond the outer edges of the arms 2 and have their extended portions curved as shown. Said edges of the arms 2 are provided with shouldered retaining lugs 14 with which the clasps are releasably engaged to hold them in hair retaining position. The lugs 14 have an angular relation to the arms 2 and extend from said arms angularly in a direction opposite to the angular extension of the free ends of the clasps 10 with respect to said arms, whereby to permit the clasps to be readilyengaged I with or disengaged from the lugs.

In practice, several of the devices are used in making marcel waves in the hair of a single person. The hair is moistened and thereafter locks thereof are twisted about the rod 1 and

arms

2, 3 and 4v and engaged with the

hooks

7 and 8 in the manner sug gested in Figures 1 and 2. The clasps 1.0 are thence swung into engagement with the lugs 14 and those portions of the lock of hair contacting with the arms 2, whereby to prevent the devices from having any casual movement with respect to the lock of hair. As soon as the hair dries, the devices may be removed, and on their removal it will be found that marcel waves of substantial permanence have been made in the hair. Due to the openings 5 and the

arms

2, 3 and 4, those portions of the locks of hair in contact with the arms will rapidly dry. The device may be made in different sizes, that is, it may be made of any desired length and width, the longer the device the greater the number of

arms

3 and 4 and

hooks

7 and 8 it will be provided with.

It should be understood that the drawing is merely illustrative and does not pretend to give exact proportions, Furthermore, the said drawing is illustrative of a preferred construction, it being my expectation that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention What; is claimed is:-

1. A. hair Waiver comprising a, bar, arms extending in one direction from the bar, other arms extending; in the opposite direction from the bar, resilient hooks carried by certain of said arms, and Clasps carried by the remaining' arms.

2. A hair waver con'iprising a ha arms extending in one direction from the bar, other arms extending in the opposite direetion from the bar. resilient hooks carried by and extending beyond the outer edges of certain of said arms, and ctasps carried by the remaining arms.

ihA hair waver comprising a bar, arms extending; in one direction from the bar, other arms extending in the opposite direction from the bar, hooks carried by certain of the arms, shouldered lugs carried by the remaining arms, and Clasps pivoted to the remaining arms and reieasabiy engaged with the lugs.

4. A hair waver comprising a her having offset end portions, arms extending from said offsetportions, eiasps carried by said arms, other arms extending from intermediate portions of the bar, and hooks carried by the other arms.

5. A hair warer comprising a bar having: ofl'set 0nd portions arms (.XtOtltiillf in one direction from said Oiii SQ/t portions and terminally rovided with shouldered lugs, ciasps pivoted to the arms and reteasabiy engaged with said lugs, an arm exteniiiing from an intermediate portion of the bar in the dirrw tion of the extent? on of the first named arms, a hook carried by said his; named arms, other arms extending in the opposite direction from the bar and occupying planes pass ing between the first named arms, and hooks carried by the other arms.

(5. A hair waver con'ipris'irn' a that bar, fiat arms extending in one direction from the bar, other flat arms extending in the opposite direction from the bar, said arms being provided with perforations, hooks carried by certain of said arms, and Clasps carried by the remaining arms.

7. A hair waver comprising a barha oitset end portions, arms exteni'iing vtron) said offset portions, ciasps carried by said arms, and other arms extending; :t'ron'i intermediate portions of the first bar.

In testimony whereof I attix my signature.
