SOL 'FISHER, .OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.- V

nun wavnm m) conmnenon Application filed April 25, 1932. Serial No. 867,413.

The objects of the invention are to provide anlimproved form of construction for a permanent marcel waver, or curler, by means of which the waves can be made deeper andfull- 5 er and have a less artificial appearance than that of the flat permanent waves now pro,- duced by machines uponthe market 7 By means of this device, hair waves are produced which are laterally extended alter- 10 nately in opposite directions thus producing alternating fluffy ridges and hollows giving'a perfect marcelled effect to the dressed hair.

The invention comprisesa waving and curling rod having an attaching means at its scalp end for securing firmly a strand of hair thereon, said rod having a wide helix thereabout, between the projecting blades of which the strand of hair is tightly wound, the sides f of the blades being inclined toward the central axis or the rod surface, the intervening grooves being deepen'ough to enclose a strand and to form 'it into substantially non-symmetrical wedge shape in crosssection, with greater depth along one edge of the strand than along the other, thus producing a fuller;

and more raised effect when it is released from confinement in the electric heater, any suitable form of which may be employed.

. The pitch of the helix and the inclination of opposite sides of the blades thereof toeach other are so proportioned as'to'produce apro nounced wave in one direction alternating with a reversely extended wave. a

. The inclined surfaces of the helix also serve to draw the strands of hairinto the grooves and to compact them, so that when subjected to heat, they will retain a definite marcelled effect with the appearance of increased ,depth and fullness. The invention is an improvement upon my previous application Ser. No. 563,685 filed September 19th, 1931, for an improvement in waving and curling rod, and as in that. invention the strand of hair wound upon th TQd may be wrappedin the usual-manner moistened flannel cloth, and enclosed. in tin: foil and inserted in an electrically heated I 1 f rod by means of ahook 6,.transvers'ely mov-f, a solution maybe applied that will tube. Also I i soften the hairunder the actionof steam.

use the steam is applied to the hair upon the rod for several minutes until'the hair. be comes perfectly shaped or molded uponthe rod, after which it is cooled and removed 1 lyset. In thismanner-greater depth ofjwave Y i from the rod and the wave will be permanent j toward and from the head, as.well, as wide. alternately reversed waves are produced.

To, accomplish these and other useful re' sults, the invention comprisesthe combinas. tion and arrangement of parts and construe. tion and formation ofthe'fvariou s details. herelnafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and particu-'-' 9 larly pointed out. in the claimsfv In the accompanyingdrawing, Figure lfis; a perspective showing the appearance offal permanent marcel wave made according to. i

' In use, the strand of hair is firSt J securely; clamped upon the-outer or s'calpend ofithe;

and a nut 8, upon the st'emJ9 of the hook, The loo 1 v we parts claims. v ,v T mayc'onverge'towards the central stem, as beezrtremity of the'hook enters a recess 10 in the first turn of the helix, and the endof the 'strandis compressed tightly inthe groove therein. The hook is prevented from turning by means of the shoulders 1 52 and'13upon the-guide 7 and the shoulders of the recess v r t lifter-clamping itsisca'lp end", as described,

the, strand'is "wound and compressed tightly in'the'spiral groove andits outer end is tied or otherwise secured tightly; upon ,thei rod at 11 The lower end of therod as shown in Figure fi, ishin ged at 15 to. permit-it-to be extendedto serve as a lever or handle for holding-the rod; The rod and'strand thereon are then Subjected to moist eat in the usual mamm l-. i p I ing stop 14 is employed in connection with FF or instance thesides of the helical groove fore, but may also be more orless recessed or concave, as shown in Figure 8, thus giving a a ear fullness tofthe body of the strand of It will air." v

be observed that with all forms of theinvention, the strand of hair is clamped 5 securely'at-thescalpend of the rod at the en v trance to the helical groove or 'channelz'lying .betweenadjacent blade portions, the remain der of the strand being wound along. the rodin said groove, and the other extremity} I of the strand-being secured to the rod. Since upon said strand, and clamping means for one side of the blad'e,.-is-inclined tothe central'axis'at amore acute angle'than the other side, the 'g'rooveitself, and the strand-of hair lying in it, are of non-symmetrical triangular cross'section, and the act of winding thestrand into the groove," more or less under.

tension, has the-effect of causing the 'hair'to slide downthe acutelyiin'clined side of the blad lt'o bejforced or pressed toward the more .obtusely'inclined side of the blade As shown in the drawing,-I prefer, to solar range; the parts that that side of the blade which is the more a'cutelyinelined to the ten, tralgaxisiisthe nearer to the scalp end ofthe}, rod.

tortion so that a characteristic marcel wave is produced andmaintained. Throwing the hair toward the head, inthe manner described, I

gives the strand greater depth along one edge than along the'othenwith a tendency to increase the depth of the completed wave when lying onthehead, with a striking degree of fullness, vigor and life. I a

It should of-coursebe understood that in the use of these rods on a given head, rods wound right hand are used upon one side of the head and rods woundgleft-handon the f other side of the head, and where two rows of rods are employed on 'onesideof the hearts is usually the case, the-rods of'the first'row will be right hand, for example, andthose of the second row left-hand, a'nd'so on.
