' This invention relates to an improved form of clip adapted for use in closing the ends of compound pads, sachets, or tubes of the type j employed in connectionwith thepermanent j waving of the hair. Y f Y ,In processes now commonly employed `for the production ,of a permanent wave in human hair it is customary to enclose a lock of the hair, after appropriately twisting 1t 10 about a bobbin, in a tubewhichf is extended to a point yadj acent thescalp. Heat is' applied and steam is developed within lthe tube. To prevent the escape of the steam atthe end of the tube adjacent the scalp a clip is employed '15 at this end to tightly clamp the tube around the hair. i i It has been a primary object of the present invention tov provide a simple but elective clip which may be suitably employed for this purpose and one whichis reliable in its action and yet easy toV remove when the heat treatment iseompleted. Devices-which have been employed heretofore have usually been either difiicult to apply vor remove from the end of the tubeor have been unreliableV in their operation so that there hasfbeen danger of their becomingreleased prematurely and-permitting theescapefof steam lagainst the scalp.
. The improved clip contemplated bythe present invention is formed of few parts readily produced and put together, is `positively held in `its clamping condition and may be readily released by a slight pressure against apair of finger pieces. The newclip is made light in construction and yet, due to an improved leverage action provided by the ormand arrangement of the parts, it may be clamped about the end oir'- a'tube or pad with greater facility than prior devices of this general character. Y
' Other objects and advantages of the in'- vention will appear from the detailed description of an illustrative form of the invention which will now begiven in conjunction-wit the accompanying drawingin which: y

in 'its opened position, a partfbeing shown in dot and dash-lines to indicate the relation whenthe clip is closed. A Fgure 3l is a sectional view offa detail, takenv alongl the line`3 3fof Figure 2.2 f f Q Figure 4 is a top view 'of the ldevice as shown in Figure 2. -V
j Figure 5 is a sectional view throughthe' cli taken along the vlinen-5 of F igure`2, Figure 6 is a sectional view taken alongthe curved line Gf of-Figure2. f 1 Referring now to thedrawing thereis shown a lock orstrand of hair 10 wound around a bobbin 11 and'appropriately rsecured tothe latter adjacent the outer end. The bobbin and twisted h air areinserted in a jacket or tube 12 which may be of, any suitable form and may, if desired, be lined or packedin a conventional Way. The tubemay, if desired, be formed by the'outer wrapper now commonly connected with pads employed'in'the waving ofhuman hair. v.At its outer end the tube ispreferably closedby means of a wad of cotton 13 or the like, `while at` its lower or inner end, which is adjacent the'` scalp, it is closed by being pinched together around the hair by means of a clip designated generally by the numeral 14 in Figure v j 1 Q f The clip 14C may comprise a mainA body portion composedofa pair of plates 1'5 and '16 of substantially' the same contour' and produced preferably by stamping `from a piece of sheet metal such as'steel or thelilre.'
At kone end the plates Vare fastened together by means of a rivet 17 but are spaced apart mea-ns of the end ofav` trigger 'member 28 which is clamped between thetwo', plates.: The mounting of the trigger is such thatit maylpivot freely about the rivet to `eiflectthe clamping operation. On the side opposite the head of the rivet it isprovided with 'a washer` 18 which, for reasonsthat will be later explained, is of larger diameter than a somewhat greater leverage action in the clamping ofthe tubethe pivotal axis provided by the. rivet lfis placed'V approximately 15 closer to the center of the vvclamping opening ofthe tube than has'been commonly leo Y the case in prior clip constructions. In this way a force of given magnitude applied to i Vthe ends of the clip, as will be explained,
' against the tube.
will produce a greater closing pressure At their upper or free ends the plates and 16 are provided withfinger pieces 19 and 2Oy respectively, the finger piece 19 having a narrow neck which is passed through an opening 21 ina corresponding portion of the plate 16. yThe two plates'areprovided with forwardl extensions 22 and 23 which at their ends are flared slightly, outwardly, so as to permit the trigger element .tobe read-V ily forced between them. Inthe' extension k22and a portion of its plate 15 there is prof vided' an arcuate "series Y of `talos or offsets 24 yclosely to the axis of the rivet 17 from the free-end 22 `toward the back of the plate 15. This arrangement providesl a somewhat `easier action and amore lgradual tightening of the clip'when the teeth rare `engaged,.than is'the case when theratchet .teeth are arranged concentrically with Vrespect to the rivet. A ingerjpiece or handle 29 is formed as anfextension of the trigger element to assist in operating the same; i f
EIn. order to reduce the weight Vof the'V clip as vfar aspossible it has been providedwith afnumber ofopenings 30, in the .trigger element aswell as inthe plates 15 and 16.l The general contour' ofthe parts, furthermore, is such as -to reduce toa minimum the amount of metal employed and hence the weight of theclip.
In applying the clip it is opened up to thev full line position shown in YFigure 2 and it is then slipped over ltheend of the tube 12 which is adjacent the scalp.V 'The trigger element is'tlien rocked .by ymeans, of the han-f dle 29 toward the main portion of the clip, the end. of the trigger being guided between the lflared, ends 22 and 23 while the. tab 27 simply -ratchets over the vinner sides of the tabs v24 Yuntil theftube is clamped tightly around the hair.` At this timethe tab 27 will become engaged behindl one of the shoulf ders l25,'as best shown in Figure 6. -fDue to the normal V pressure of the plates 15 and 16 toward each other Ythe trigger will be quite positively heldin latched position until intentionallyyreleased. lVhen it is desired to remove the clip the two finger pieces 19 and 20 arev Vsqueezed vbetween a.V finger and the thumb. "On account of the stiifening effect of the washer 18 the'movement of the finger pieces vtoward each other will cause a bend-l ing of the plate 15 outwardly to an extent sufficient to disengage lthe shoulder 25 from the tab 27. When the trigger is thusy released the clip may be readily opened up and removed rfrom the tube. Y
While an illustrative form of the invention has been disclosed in considerable detaill it will be understood that various Vchanges lmay 'be made in the vform and ar rangement of vthe vparts without departing from the general spirit and scope of the invention.
