Our invention is primarily intended for use by barbers, beauty parlor: operators and V others as well as by individuals for their own use. p y i The invention consists ofia pair of body elements preferably made of spring material secured together and. spaced apart. A secondary arm ishingedly secured midway the ends of the primary arms about thefas- "tening element passing therethrough. A magnifying lensfis hingedly secured to the outer end of the secondary arm anda plural- "ity of blackhead removing arms are hingedlydi'sposed relative to one end of the side arms and a pair of tweezers terminate at 01)- positely "disposed ends of the side arms. An arm carrying anexploring point ishinged relative to the support about which the black head removing arms are" hinged; The ex- "ploring point is removably secured to the saidarm. The magnifying lens isadapted for being placed with its focal point being in registerable alignment with the tweezer U U points and with the ends ofthe'arms hingedly secured relative to the oppositely disposed end oftheside arms. The blackhead removing arms and the arm carrying the explor ing, point are adapted for beinghingedly placed within the side arms collectively, or
F one at a time. The side arms are preferably made of non-corrosive, spring material.
The invention has for its primary object the removal of ingrowing hairs, pimples, splinters and any and all small articlesthat ay become attached, or are annoying and require careful removal. A magnifyinglens is provided, thefocalpoint of which may be placed in registerable alignment with the ends, and/or points, of thedevice in order that the user thereoftmay work efliciently in the removal of the foreign matter required to be removed. 1 4 r The object of' our invention is to place in the hands'of the user of the same, an efficient i instrument through theuse of which foreign i930.

matter may be efficiently, quickly and speedily removed. 1
i A still further object of ouriinvention consists in providing in one instrument a device that may be efficiently used by anunskilled operator for the removal of split hairs, ingrowing hairs, pimples,'blackheads, splinters and any and all small foreign, or irritating, matter that may become attached or secured to the patient, or user of the same. p
A still further object of our invention consists in providing a device of few parts and compact in construction.
With these and incidental objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination of parts, the essential elements of which are set forth in the appended claims, and a preferred form of embodiment of which is hereinafter shown with reference to the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification..
In the'drawings: Fig. 1 is a perspective, end view of the as sembled device. i
Fig. 2 is a side View of the mechanism illustrated in Fig. 1..
*ig. 3 is a top, plan view of the assembled device.
Fig. 4 is asectional, end view of one of the arms of the body element, the same being taken on line 4L4 of Fig. 3 looking in the points, the samebeing taken on line 6-6 of 5 Fig. 2 looking in the direction indicated.
Fig/7 is a perspective, end view illustrating a pair of tweezers having a hinged arm associated therewith that carries a magnifys ing lens. This view is made to illustrate a complete and separate instrument to which the arm carrying the magnifying lens is associated therewith.
Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.
We preferably form our device of two body elements 1 and 2, the same being removably secured together by screws 3 and 4. The screws 3 have a secondary arm hingedly disposed thereabout that serves as a separator for spacing the side arms relative to each other. A band 6 is hinged relative to the free end of the secondary arm 5 and is journaled about a fastening pin 7. A magnifying lens 8 is disposed within the band 6. Tweezer points 9 and 10 terminate one end of each of the side arms. The tweezer points are preferably corrugated as illustrated at 11, upon their inner surface and the outer end 12 of each of the points is preferably inclined inward to facilitate the grasping of the article to be removed by the precise point of the tweezers thus formed. corrugations 13 and 14- are disposed upon the-outer surface of each of the arms to permit a firm grasping of the same by the hand of the user. The magnifying lens 8 is so placed that the focal point of the same may be made to register in line with the tweezer points in order that the user of the same may precisely position the points relative to the object to be removed. One or more blackhead removing arms, here shown as two in number, 15 and 16 are hingedly disposed relative to the side arms, the same being hinged about the journal screw 4. An arm 16 is also hingedly disposed relative to the journal pin 4 and an exploring point 17 is removably disposed relative to the free end of the arm 16. The same is fixedly positioned relative to the arm by a clamping screw 18. Each of the blackhead removing arms and the arm for carrying the exploring point may be independently hinged relative to the journal screw 4- and the side arms are spaced apart sufficiently tojpermit each of the arms to be hinged within the side arms independently, or collectively. The free end of the blackhead removing arms are cupshaped with an opening 19 extending central therethrough. The purpose and object of the opening is to facilitate its placement over the foreign matter or materials to be treated. The distance of the openings disposed within. the blackhead removing points is so spaced from the journal fastener 3 about which the secondary arm 5 is hinged, that the focal point of the lens 8 may be placed in precise registerable alignment with the openings disposed in the blackhead removing arms in order that accurate and eflicient work may be carried on in the use of the blackhead removing points in conjunction with the use of the magnifying lens.
We have here shown two blaclrhead re1noving arms, each having separate sized openarms.
ings disposed therein for placement over the surface to be treated, but we do not wish to be limited to two arms, only, as any desired number of arms may be hingedly disposed about the journal pin. A stop pin 20 eX-- tends through the side arms and is disposed in registerable alignment with the movement of the respective blackhead removing and exploring point arms, in order that the same may be arrested in their partial rotation about the ournal pin 4.
We have herein shown and illustrated our device in which'the sidearms are formed so as to have a pair of tweezers disposed in one end of the device and black head removing and exploring arms'disposed in the oppositely disposed ends of the device with the arms carrying a magnifying lens so hinged as to place the focal point of the magnifying lens in registerabl'e alignment with the points of the tweezers and the points of the respective We do not wishto be limited to this construction only as a pair of tweezers may be formed in which a magnifying lens may be placed-with its focal point in registerable alignment with the tweezer points. Also a separate and distinct instrument may be made having an arm hinged relative thereto to which a magnifying lens is hingedly secured that may also be placed with its focal point in registerable alignment with the respective black head removing arms and exploring points and therefore we do not wish to be limited in our claims to an instrument in which the combination as a whole is disposed.
While the form of mechanism herein shown and described is admirably adapted to fulfil the objects primarily stated, it is to be understood that it is not intended to confine the invention to the one form of embodiment here in shown and described, as it is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, all coming within the scope of the claims which follow,
l/Vhat we claim is:
1. An instrument for removing black heads, ingrowing hair and the like, comprisin g a pair of primary body elements detachably attached to each other at their midsection, an arm hingedly disposed between said body elements, a magnifying glass rockably disposed at thefree end of the arm, one end of each of the body elements comprising a tweezer jaw, a filing surface disposed upon the outer surface of each of said ends, the oppositely disposed ends of said body elements secured together, a plurality of pore squeezing devices hingedly disposed between said secured ends, and an exploring arm hingedly secured to one of the last mentioned ends, said ends adapted to shield the pore squeezing devices and the exploring arm when not in use.
2. An instrument for removing black heads, ingrowing hair and the like, comprising a pair of primary body elementsmade of spring material secured to each other at their midsection, one end ofeach of the body elements comprising a tweezer jaw, the other end of each of the body elements secured together, an arm hingedly disposed between the body elements at their midpoint, a magnifying lens rockably disposed at the free end of the arm adapted to permit the exact focusing of the lens relative to the tweezer points, pore squeezing devices hingedly disposed between the secured ends of the body elements, and an exploring arm hingedly secured to one of the last mentioned ends,
