HAIR CUTTING GAUGE Filed June 20. 1951 IN VEN TOR.
Patented May 17, 1932 ALBERT EDWARD STEINKAMZP, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO HAIR CUTTING GAUGE Application filed June 20,
The object of my device is to provide a gauge that will enable any ordinary person to cut or trim a mans or boys hair with great speed and absolute accuracy.
I attain this object in the construction shown in the accompanying drawings. Similar figures refer to similar parts throughout both views.
Fig. 1 is a face View of a metal blank stamped out and ready to be formed or shaped into the gauge shown in Fig. 2. It
may be made of any metal but is preferably made of sheet brass of an inch thick.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the gauge,
complete and ready for use. The top or horizontal face of the gauge (as shown in Fig.
2) we shall hereinafter refer to as the face side of the gauge.
3 indicates the handle with which to hold the gauge.
4 is a flange along one-half of one side of the gauge; bent at right angle to the faceside of the gauge. The dotted line in Fig. 1 shows where the plate is bent to form the flange.
5 is a rest-end designed to support the scissors when cutting hair.
6 indicates a number of prongs. These prongs are bent at a point to leave short,
horizontal extensions to the face-side of the gauge, while the remainder and longer ends of the prongs run parallel to and in the same direction as the flange.
The open spaces between the said short horizontal eXtensions form the cutting line. To cut the hair the operator places the gauge on the head, resting it on the prongs and flange, with the face-side of the gauge in full view. By slowly moving the gauge forward, the prongs will push the hair up on end, and as the upright hair pass the prongs they will move into the cutting line; there to be cut off with a pair of scissors, by placing the scissors on the gauge with one blade on each side of the cutting-line.
The object of the flange is to prevent the newly cut hair from passing this point too rapidly, thereby counteracting the pressure of the hair pushed up in front of the prongs.
By this means the hair within the cuttingline Will be held Serial No. 545,807.
upright, Without bending,
so that all the hair will be cut a uniform length. This insures an accurate and smooth job of hair cutting.
After the hair be easily tested:
is all out its accuracy may By moving the gauge slowly over the surface of the head everydefect will be readily noticed through the cutting-line.
as the hair passes Having explained my invention, what I claim and desire ent is:
A hair cutting plate of sheet metal, h
to secure by Letters-Patgauge, made of an oblong aving a right-angle flange at one end on one side of the plate the other side, opposite the flange, having a number of (except the first to leave short, h face-side of prongs, each of said prongs one) being bent at a point orizontal extensions to the the gauge, while the longer ends of the prongs run parallel to and in the same direction as the fl ange.
ALBERT EDWARD STEINKAMP.
