DEVICE FOR EFFECTENG ERMANENT WAES IN HAR Application filed September 27, 1929. Serial NJ. 395,554.

This invention relates to devices for waving or curling hair and has for its object the production of a simple but effective tool of vthis character which may be used to advantage in the marcel waving yof ladies hair.

This object is attained by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

For the purpose of illustrating the invention, one preferred form thereof is illustrated in the drawings, this form having been found to give satisfactory and reliable re-y sults, although itis to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which the invention consists can be variously arranged and organized, and the invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described except as required by the scope of the appended claims.

Of the drawings Figure 1 represents a plan of a device embodying the principles of the present inven-l tion.

Figure 2 represents a side elevation of same.

9, 9, on Fig. 5, and v v FigurevlO represents a portion of the device showing how a lock of hair is wound thereon to obtain a permanent marcel wave.

Similar characters indicate like parts throughout the several gures of the drawinfrs.

Tn the drawings, 10 is a tubular member in 5) which is disposed a rod 11 having a hoolr12 at one end thereof, the opposite end 13 being threaded vand having a nut 14 thereon.

This rod 11 has a key 15 extending therefrom into a slot 16 in the bore of the tubular member 10 so that when the rod 11 is adjusted 55 endwise it is prevented from rotating about its axis.

Brazed or welded to one end of the tubular member 10 is a member 17 having a recess 18 therein to receive the hook 12 when moved to the right of Fig. 3 of the drawings.

This end movement of the rod 11 is effected by rotating the nut 14 on the threaded end 13 of said rod.

A lock of hair is inserted into the space 19 of the hook 12 when in the position shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing.

After this lock of hair has been thus inserted the rotation of the nut 14 upon thc threaded end 13 of the rod v12 will cause the lock to be jammed against the end 2O of the tubular member 1() and firmly held in position, this end 2O being of the necessary thickness to permit its entrance into the space 19.

The tubular member 10 is provided on its outer surface with a plurality of projections 21 curved in one direction and also has another projection 22 which is curved in the opposite direction.

The lock of hair held by the hook 12 is wound about the tubular member 10 and in the spaces 23 between the projections 21.

The end 24 of the tubular member adjacent `the projection 22 is threaded as indicated in Fig. 4 and has mounted thereon a nut 25 having a hub 26 provided with an annular groove 27 into which extends a pin 28 in a nonrotatable member 29.

This nonrotatable member has a hub 30 with a slot 31 therein in which is positioned the projection 22, said projection 22 preventing therotation of thev member 29.

When the projection 22 and the nonrotatable member 29 are in the relative. positions shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, the lock of hair wound about the tubular member 10 may be inserted into the space 82 of the proj ection 22 and then by rotating the nut 25 the nonrotatable member 29 will be forced toward the llOOl 22, this nonrotatable member having a recess 3B therein adapted to receive said projection 22.

llVhen this has been accomplished the lock of hair held at one end by the locking hook 12 and Wound about the tubular member 10 will be gripped at the opposite end of the tubular'member 10 so that it Will be retained in place until the desired Wave or curl in the lock of hair has been attained.

The inner Wall o" the recess 18 in the member 17 has oppositely disposed depressions 34 therein to receive the lock of hair vpositioned in the space 19 and extending over the outer end ot the hook 12.

The inner Wall of the recess 33 also has oppositely disposed depressions 35 to yreceive the lock of hair inthe space 3Q of the projection22 and extendingr over-said projection.

This provides al ready means of securely holdinga lock of hair Wound-aboutthe-tubularmember `10 While `forming a'wave 'or curl therein.

'In obtaininga permanent Wave to lladies hair, a plurality of these devices are used to hold the -various locks of hair in position While heat is being applied Yto give permanency to the Waves of haircaused-by the lvarious locks being Wound about the Atubular members 10.

The curvedprojections'QQ provide a means for retaining the coils 4of each lock lof hair Wholly separated as it is Wound aboutthe tubular member '10, 'thus producing a better result than could othervvise'be obtained.

'By means otthis device the lock ofha'ir 36 maybe gripped close -to the scalp which is a great advantage, as then Waves .may be made for the entire'length of the Llock.

It is obvious that the device rmay be dis mantled quickly .and each lpart thoroughly cleaned in order to keep it in perfect sanitary condition.

The gripping of the :lock of "hair 36 Lby meansof hook lobviates the use 'of strings and clamps noiv in quite general use.

By the use ol 'the device there Ais a lgreat saving in time and 'labor andtlieloc'l o't hair .will Ybe firmly held Without disturbing the texture ofthehair.

By .havingvthe hair-gripping lhook -12 en` closed iin the pocket orrecess 18, 4the vhair is prevented from getting loose or -tangled which Would'be -very harmfultofthe hair.

The projections 21 extending laterally from -the 'meniber 1.0 Iform a-comb-'likestructure upon which the'loclrof hair kmaybe-Wound in a particular Wayin order'to'eflect alpermanent marcel Wave therein.

Byzproviding the-hood 22 and the member 29 coacting therewith the lock of hair '36 may be gripped'near its outer end thus dispensing with the use of strings and saving much'time and labor.

In Fig. 10 is shown the manner of Winding the lock of hair 36 around the member 10 and the various projections 21.

It will be noted that this lock of hair 36 passes around alterna 1e projections 21 on one ide of said projections and on the opposite sides oi the intermediate proje tions.

Then wound in this mannerfand held taut at opposite ends during the heating operation, a marcel Wave will, be imparted to the lock of hair Which will last for a very long time.

It isbelieved-.thatthe operation and many advantages of the invention will be understood-Without further description.
