and in Great Britain December 20, 1930 6:0laims. (01. 132-44) This invention relates to rubber or like hair wavingor curling devices of the kind having'an eye or equivalent at one end of the body portion through which the other-end of. saidbody portion 5 is adaptedto passafter flexing or bowing the de- 5 vice and be locked by the inherent resiliency of the device; i.'
a Very often when the hair is beingwound round the shank as in a device of the aforesaid kind, the initial coil 'of hair slips overthe headprior'to bowing; and locking the device. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction of hairwavingandgcurlihg device of the aforesaid kind, andin particular, to provide such a device which will prevent the initial 5 coil,of hair slippingover the headprior to bowing and locking. r
Preferably in accordance withthe present invention a device. of the kind aforesaid comprises atongue piece at oneend ofis aid shank, and an apertured head at the other end of said shank extending in a -plane different from'that of the shank, said head preventing the hair slipping on the device over said head.
The head may be round, square, hexagonal, oval, elliptical, diamond-shaped, or in fact of any othershape as may-be found'desirable or advantageous, and its edge may be plain or undulating. Moreover, the eye or aperturemay ormay not conform to the shape of the head. i
The other end of the device, which as already stated, is adapted to be pushed throughthe-eye or equivalent and belocked by the inherentrediamond-shaped, with or without an apertureor "apertures to facilitate its contraction in passing through the eye, and with or without undulations in itsedges. When such an aperture is provided,
it alsomay be of various shapes and may or may not conform to the shape-of the tongue-piece itself. a
In some cases the tongue piece may terminate in at least one sphere orv ball or partial sphere which maybe perforated, adapted to be pushed through the eye or. equivalent under contraction and then to exert a locking actionpreventingits accidental withdrawal,
hereinafter referred to, but with a caller swell:
. ing or enlargement ofLanysuitable shape at a short distance from the other endof the shank I shank;
integral with the shank. .1 A Fig i is a perspective viewsimilar'to Fig.1 1,
We may make our waveror curler with a head or equivalent as illustrated in anyof the figures gateji'emiyfithmugh the aperture in the sad or is;
equivalent, this ball or swelling or enlargement being such as to assist thelocking'actionl We: wish it tobe understood ,that the head of the device extendingin aTdifierent planefrom that of the bodyportion, may be located atone end of the device or at some little distance from that e nd The head also serves as afinger'grip in the .applicationof the device; and owing'to it provides :a much moresecure grip'thanuis oha tainableinfthe case of a flat waver. With the the header thewaverbeing-normal to the shank normally; disposed head of our waventhe'fingers .are free-to controlany'wrigglying of the rubber shank of "the, waverand V the resiliency being thus held in check,.the;hair canlbe more quickly and easily "coiled on the shankfand the waver secured in position without any tendency for theiwaver slippingiout of; the fingers and disappearingunder :the hair. When itis locatedratlis ome, little distance from thefend 'of the/shank, the projecting .portionof the shank assists the locking action" and may constitutethe said fingergrip However in a device as constructediniaccordancewith this invention, the shank may be pro- 8 vided with. a'slit in known manner for the'pur- I 'pose of enabling it .to be used as acurler as well as a waver. When no slit. is providedthe. device.
will be suitableas waver only.
Now, merely by way of example and withouti intending any; restriction, we have illustrated J certain constructional forms of our; device on -the accompanying drawing, whereon:,- siliency of the device, may be formed as a tongue- ,piece of anysuitable shape but is preferably tapered or substantially ovoid, oval, elliptical or' Fig. 1 is a perspective view of oneformmade of rubber in which the head is integral, with )the '90 Figela is a modification of Fig. 1; r V Fig, 2 is. a-similar. view of. a second forrn having the head integral with :the. shank;
Fig. 3 shows, in front and side elevation respectively,,-a third form also having the head showinghow theaperture through the head may be nicked or serrated or slitted for a purpose hereinafter stated;
j Fig. 5 is a perspective viewYof another in which thehead is in the form of a half ring.v 1
{Fig 6 shows in front elevatio n and sideelevation another form in whichthehead is attached 1 9 V extends normal, to the integral shank 2 atone end thereof and in substance is a ring through the aperture 4 of which the other end of the shank or tongue-piece 3 having a swelling 3a is adapted to be pushed after flexing or bowing the device. The shank-is slit at to, enable the device to be used as a curler as well as a waver.
In Fig. 1a the shank is extended at 2a to im-. prove the locking efiect on the tonguepiece.
To use the device just described as a waver, it is held by the head 1 fiat against the scalp, and with the opposite end of the shank or tonguepiece 3 slightly raised oh the head to facilitate on to the shank, the shank is flexed or bowed employed.
the winding of the coil of hair to be waved on the shank. The initial coil of hair is then wound.
onto the, shank and pressed against and imprisoned by the normallyv disposed head, and it will be at once apparent that during this processthe head- 1 acts as an abutment, projectionor stop whichpositively prevents the hair from slipping thereover. After the coil ofhair has been wound and the tongue-piece 3 pushed through the aperture 4 in the head 1 whereupon it is locked in that positionby the inherent resiliency of the device,
and swelling 3a. With a waver havinga normally disposed head as above described, there is no danger 'ofthehair being pushed right off the head of the waver and thus the'usercan start 7 to coil the hair right up against the head of the waver: and not half-way, down'the shank as .is necessary in the case of a flat waver. vMoreover, owing to the firmigrip which can be obtained of the normally disposed head in' our waver, it is possible to wave "the hair very close "to the'scalp, and there is no'danger of theresiliency of the rubber shank causing the head of'the waver to slip through, the gfingers.
To use the device as a curler. the ends of the V 46 wisp of hair-tare inserted through the slit 5 and thereafter the device is turned in the fingers towards the head so as to roll the wisp of hair on ,theshank 2. Finally, the shank is bowed and the tongue-piece 3 pushed through the aperture 4 in the head 1 and locked by the inherent resiliency of the device, as already stated.
In the construction according to Fig. 2 the tongue-piece 3 of theshank 2 terminates in a hemispherical portion or'swelling 6 which can be "pushed through the aperture 4 in the head 1 after the deviceis flexed or bowed, but which presents the shoulders shown to assistthe locking action. These shoulders prevent a too easy or accidentalwithdrawal'of the tongue-piece and the portion 6 from the aperture-4 in the head 1. Fig. 3 shows a construction in which the tongue-piece -3 ismade substantially ovoid for 1 the purpose just mentioned, thisgtongue-piece,
however, having an aperture "7which enables the tongue-piece to be easilycontracted and pushed through the aperture 4' in the head, but the shoulders between I the "tongue-piece and the shank'2 are then set to preventaccidental or too easy withdrawal of the tongue-piece front theaperture. y
If desired, the wall of the aperture 4 in the head lint-any of the constructional forms so far described may have any number of nicks or "serrations '5 as illustrated by Fig. 4 for thepurpose of facilitating displacement'of thesaidwall in the passage of the tongue-piece 3 through the aperture.
According to Fig. 5 the shank has two lateral projections. 1d, and into these projections a'half ring 1 is secured. The tongue piece 3 is adapted in the manner already described to be pushed through the aperture 4 in the half ring.
In the construction according to Fig. 6 the tongue-piece 2 is enlarged at one end 2a and this enlargement is adapted to receive a ring 1 constituting the head or stop for preventing the hair slipping overthe head. The side edges of the enlargement 2a are checked or cut out and the ring 1 is sprung over the enlargement 2a 1 into engagement with said recesses'being thereby retained in place. Obviously, the shank can be bowed to one side or the other and the tonguepiece 3 threaded throughthe aperture 4 in the ring 1 at one side or other of the shank. In this From the foregoing .it will be apparent that we prefer to provide the eye or aperture '4 through which the tongue-piece is pushed in the head or ring 1 that extends normal oroblique to the plane of the shank, but if desired the said eye.
or aperturemay be provided in the shank itself adjacent the head.- Where as'in Figs. 5 and 6 the ring or head is attached to the shank, said ring or head may be of metal, rubber, bone or other material.
In some cases we may form the body portion orv shank with side fins; .and 'we -may furnish the eye or aperture 4, whether it be in thehead-orin the shank; with an eyelet of metal, celluloid or the like. "Further, the shank may beof wavy or undulating shape. The cross-section of the shank may be round, square, oval,flat, or otherwise;
The head'and tongue piece may be detachable from the shank so that any head and any tongue piece may be used together, while the heads or rings may be made of'relatively soft rubber and the shanks of-relatively hard rubber. 7
While we have described and illustrated certain embodiments of our invention we intended no limitations other than those imposed by the cope of the claims that follow, since it is obvious that many modifications, some of which are herein indicated, can readily be made without departing from the scope of the invention "We claim: I
1. A hair waving or curling device comprising a shank, a tongue-piece at one end of the shank,
a head having an aperture therein through which said tongue-pieceis adapted to be passed, and. means whereby said headis rigidly united tosaid shank so that the axis of said aperture main-..
