man

shown, the cover has Van integral flange 29 turned inwardly toward the spindle part and serrated at to form a comb which engages and combs the hair as it is guided through the guide formed by the wings 21 and the cooperating cover 25.

The top of the cylindrical portion 20 of the winding part 19 may completely encircle the spindle sleeve 11 between the guide wings 24 and the wings 22, as shown at 32, and the projecting end 33 of the cylindrical portion 20 may substantially completely encircle theA spindle sleeve, as shown, it being understood that when the winding part is of sheet metal these

portions

32 and 33 may be split longitudinally so that the entire body of the winding part may be stamped from a single flatpiece of sheet metal and. then Vformed to shape.

In operation the strands of hair 17 are gripped and locked between the jaws 12, 13 at the usual or any desired place along the hair, and the strands are then laid longitudinally of the spindle means between the wings 22and betweenthe'ffuide winos 2dthe cover '25 being'ope'ned for this purpose, whereupon the cover 25 is closed to contine the hair between the guide wings. Then by turning 'the winding part either clockwise or counterclockwise about the spindle sleeve 11, the

strands of hair are curled or wrapped through the notch 21 and upon the spindle sleeve 11 between this sleeve and the enlarged cylindrical portion Q0 of the winding part 19.

The strands oi hair are preferably curled upon the spindle in overlapping relation, which overlapping relation is obtained by the helical wrapping of the hair strands produced by the turning of the winding part 19 "around the-spindle sleeve 11 and the movewave produced and avoids Haring of the successive convolutions of the curl and the steps which are produced in such a curl where such Haring occurs.

The enlarged cylindrical portion 22 may be provided with an internal longitudinal hump or ridge 40 conveniently formed by a longitudinal depression in the wall of the cylindrical portion 22. This internal ridge or hump presses the hair as it is curled upon the spindle and further enhances the smooth, even finish imparted to the curl.

I do not intend to be limited to the precise details shown or described.
