HAIR WAVING WRAPPER Filed March 2l, 1929 ze/ f/f 7 Patented Dec. 3Q, 1930 WARREN S. WATTS', OF LGUSVILLE, KVENTUKY, ASSIGNOR T0 iIt-LETTE, INC., OF

. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, A CGRPGRATION OF DELAWARE HAIR-VIAVNG WRAPPER .i Application filed March 21, 1929. Serial No.- 348,867.

The invention relates to a device used for enea-sing a lock of hair which has been rolledy about a vcurling iron, and is employed for prducingwhat is known as permanent wave. The invention resides particularly in Heretofore, two applications 'for Letters Patent have been made in the name of the present applicant, these being, VSerial No. 324,504, entitled Hair waving wrapper, and filed December 7, 1928, and Serial No. 327,808, entitled Hair waving wrapper, and filed Eecember22, `1928.

Thepresent invention contemplates anl imreferred to, and the structural reconstruction provides the addition oi' aslit or oriice or opening adjacent each lowert corner ofthe pad holding pocket. i Such opening or aperture permits of the hair curling fluid in the corners of the pad freely escaping from the envelope.y Thus, theentire quantity of lhair curling liquid with which the pad is saturated is permitted tcaffect the'hair, this being most desirable when measured volumes* of hair curling liquid are employed.

The "objects of the invention include, of course, the production of afn article readily manufactured, one which may be produced at a lowcost, and one having a pleasing appearance. In addition thereto, the objectsk ofthe invention include theprovision of; structural features which will permit of the rapid7 ready, and 'complete discharge from,V the absorbent e5 pad-v iir the deviceA ofQall oit-he hair curlirngA fluid withvwhichfit'ischarged. Suchl discharge rwill `bef evenly distributed overthe lockV .of wound hair by the'present arrang ment. These last mentioned objects are in 5c addition to the recited in applicants the structural details of the encasing device.

lustrated in the applications for patent above,

previously filed applications for vLetters Patent, herein above ieferred to, the i present structural modiiicationsbeing in a nature of an improvement over a heretofore new and unique hair curling sachets invented by the ap plicant.l 1

The objects of the invention herein above referred to and such other objects as may hereafter appear, are obtained by the novel. construction, arrangement, and combination of the several elements forming the one embodiment of the invention herein described and fully illustrated.

Only oneform of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying single sheet of drawing c hereby made a part of this application for Letters Patent but such invention is applicable to a number of different sachets.

The blank illustrated in Figure l comprises a main portion Vl0,the body-of whichis of greater area than of any of the remaining section of such blank. ySaid portion l@ lill) Ell -Figure 1 whereby to obtain the adjacent portion of the blank which forms a part of 'the inside of the finished sachet are separated by a fold in the sembled device, the 'told line being represented in Figure 1 by dotted line 11. Such inside portion of the sachet is designated by the ordinal 1Q. One face of section 10 forms the external or exposed bach portion of the sachet.

Integral with section 10 is an yextension 13 which compris s. in the assaxnbied device, one layer or lamiaarion of an envelope or pocket formed by the articulation of the material disposed at the other end of said blaJ-il.

From sail l' and appel zo to section 12 and separated therefrom at one side by a slit or by a V- shaped incision la the portion of the blank employed for 'the formation of a pocket to receive a pad. The pocket forming section includes a. Jrejecting rectangular section 15 and which forms the baclr of the pocket. lVhen assembled, this section is folded upon the dotted line 1G.

Between sections 12 and 15 a windewe'l section 17, the opening therein being designated 18. Such window is of any suitable size, but should not be so large that a pad to be inserted into the pocket may accidentally slip therefrom. The proportions of the window 18 to section 17 shown in the drawing are generally satisfactory. At 'the ends of the fold line 15 are two slits 1Go extending into the envelope to provide openings 'therein for the escape of moisture. ln place of these apertures other types of openings could be employed and serve with equal facility.

At each end of the section 17 and separated therefrom by folds reln'esented by dotted lines 19 and Q0, are lateral extensions 21. To form a pocket, designated as an entirety 22, scction 12 is folded forwardly on the fold line 11 and over the member 10 after which the ends 21 are folded upon Vthe lines 19 and 2O to lap over and upon the l acl; of section 13. Ends 21 are adhesively secured to section 13. '.llheu member 15 folded on line 1G and adhesively applied over ends 21 and the remaining ex.- poscd portion of member 13. 'llhus the pocket 22 is formed, there beine' an opening 18 in the one layer front 1'? oi' said pocket. and two openings or slits 1Go in the lower corners thereof. A laminated bach compris ing sections 13, 2l, and 15 is thu.. .i prec, vided. i

The n'ianner of folding the blank shown in pocket 22 best illustrated in Figure 2. This assembly is made only with the foil sheet hereinafter de- ."eribed in its proper relation the casing sections.

Figure 3 illustrates a sheet terial having an ente sion These two sections are inte'mel.

ience of description, an imag-. a

of foil inaportion 81. For convenry divisional opposite side o" the body 10.

line 32 is shown. The portion 30 corresponds with section 10 of the casing blank and in the assembled article extends approximately to the right-hand edge thereof as is shown in Figure 1, but does not extend quite to the left-hand edge thereof. Normally the foil reaches to approximately one half inch from the left-hand ede of said section 10. 1t is not desirable to nave metal or metallic foil come into direct Contact with the hinnan scalp, hence there a small amount of chier-anw at the left-hand end of sect-ion 1() and over which the foil she does not extend.

The foil which is employed may be plain foil or it may be a backed foil. lill en backed foil is used, it may have paper backin Preferably a backing is employed. for this diminishes the amount of metal. re-Lpiired because thinner metal may be usen and it reduces the danger of damage to the foil sheet without disturbing the other characteristics which make foil desirable for use in hair sachets.

In assembling the device, the foil extension 81 is inserted into pocket Q2. lllheu a backed foil is used, the metal surface is uppermost. lVhen there is a backing upon the foil, such backing will come directly in contact with the inner face of portion 10 of the casing, and the backing on section S1 of the foil will come into Contact with the inner face of portion 13 of the pocket. lVhen so inserted and disposed, the casing' is assembled as previously directed. l

Reference will now be had to Figure This shows a pad of absorbent material upon which a solution used for softening and/or curling the hair is disposed. Such solution may be of any of the usual ingredients now employed or any which may be discovered in the future. The pad generally comprises a highly absorbent material like felt enclosed within a harder material similar to that employed. for bandages or surgical gauze.

lVhile the core or interior portion of the pad is generally a section of soft felt. any other absorbent material may be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention. The entire pad is designated lll. and it is adapted to be inserted into and is inserted into pocket 22 in assembling the complete device. The back of the pad Ll-l rests upon the front surface of the section 32 of the foil sheet. The front portion of such pad 40 is almost wholly exposed through lltl ments within the casinguntil the staple 4l is inserted.

Preliminary to use, the pad 40 may be charged in any of the conventional manners. it may be dipped into a solution which is to be used thereon, or such solution may be made to impregnate the pad by the use of a pipette, a measuring device,or any other selected instrumentality whereby such solution is transferred from a vcontainer to the pad 40. As it is now recognized that a definite quantity of a solution of any fixed characteristic should be employed for each curl, it is quite usual to pour a measured quantity of the selected solution upon a pad 40.

In the finished sachet, when in lat form, there is exposed a section of foil 30 several inches in breadth and approximately one inch in length and having the casing at the back side only thereof. This right-handA end of the sachet, Figure 5, is twisted or crimped, there being sufficient body in the sheet of foil yto insure that such sachet, when so "i crimped, will permanently be held about the i ir. To allow free escape of liquid there from when so wrapped, the slits 16a are helpful.

Then the entire sachet is wrapped around the curled loclr of hair upon the curling rod or iron about which the hair is twisted, the hair and iron are covered.

Such a sachet as is here illustrated pro'- vides an impervious back section through which the moisture from the pad 40, even when converted into steam, cannot readily escape to the outside atmosphere. Through the front, freedom of discharge is had, It thus insures the full benefit of the moisture contained in the pad for steaming and curling the hair and the whole effect of the chemicalingredients employed thereon for the treatment or softening of the hair.

As presented, the device comprises three sections, each adapted to be produced separately in a machine, there being a relatively simple assembly therebetween. @ne fastening number is all that is required to maintain the three parts in their assembled relation, thus, the cost of production and assembly is very much reduced.
