Definitions

  • My invention relates to the growth or production of human hair and it is especially adapted for use by barber's, hairdressers and others whose Work or occupation has to do with the various troubles and ailments of the hair of the public, and this application is in part a continuation of my pending application for U. 5.
  • One of the principles underlying my invention is the noting of the growth or production of hair of a particular scalp, in order to establish a first status quo as to thickness or profusion and then by subsequent measurings, noting any deviation from the primary measuring, as for instance, a loss of hair or a gain, as a result of adopted treatments.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective View of a portion of a human head and part of the scalp, with a comb and my improved instrument being applied to the hair, so as to gather the hair from a given plot on the scalp in strand form; the gathering fork and part of the compression cavity or recess of the instrument only being shown.
  • Figure 2 shows a top-plan view of a portion of the instrument, including the gathering fork and communicating recess or sot, with a quantity of gathered hair shown as filling the fork and entering the gage recess.
  • Figure 3 shows a similar View to Fig. 2, but with the gathered quantity of hair moved into the recess at the base of the fork, by pressure of the finger which is shown in broken-lines.
  • Figure 4 shows a top-plan view of the complete instrument, with the gathered bunch of hair compressed transversely of its length into the compression cavity ready to have the extent of such compression marked on the recording means.
  • Figure 5 shows an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the frame of the device at the opposite end from the collecting fork and with the recording means connected thereto and shown as partly broken away.
  • Figure 6 shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the instrument, the plane of the section being indicated by line 6-6, in Fig. 4.
  • Figure 7 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional 1932, Serial No. 639,924
  • Figure 8 shows a plan view of part of the marking means of a modified form.
  • Figure 9 shows a plan view of the six-inch tape used for locating the spot or place on the scalp where the hair is to be. gathered for measurement.
  • 1 indicates the frame or body of the instrument or device and it is preferably made from a fiat strip of resilient metal.
  • This strip or plate is doubled on itself so as to provide a pair of fiat parallel members or jaws 2 and 3, spaced slightly apart and one longer than the other; the longer one 3, having its outer end formed into a V-shaped fork 4, with the bottom or crotch thereof communicating with a com.- pression or gage notch or slot 5, formed in member 3, and extending inwardly a suitable distance along the median line of the member.
  • the shorter member 2 has its outer end terminating at about the level of the bottom of fork 4, in the opposing member 3, and it is formed with a mouth 6, leading into a compression slot or notch 7, formed in member 2; said notches 5 and '7, being duplicates of the same dimensions arranged in alinement so that they function as a single notch or slot in compression of the hair strand when inserted therein.
  • the folded end of the frame is fashioned into a handle 8, to be grasped by the hand of the operator in manipulating the device and the two spring members 2 and 3, are held firmly together at the handle-end by means of rivets 9.
  • the mouth of the fork 4 is preferably 1 and ths of an inch wide and is of a given capacity such that it will embrace and gather the hair growing on an area of l and /2 square-inches of the scalp.
  • the gage or compression cavity or recess 5-7, into which the fork leads, is nd of an inch wide and of indefinite length or depth, although I have here shown it as about two inches long.
  • a manually operated plunger or compression member 10 is detachably mounted in the notch or recess so that it may be freely reciprocated therein, and it is inserted in and removed there from at the open end thereof.
  • the body or main part of the compressor when in place, is disposed between the two jaws 2 and 3, in slidable relation therewith, and it is provided upon its opposite sides with outwardly extending projections 11 and 12, the former extending through slot 7,
  • the record sheet is mounted between a pair of manually operated parallel rollers 16, 1'7, which are constructed alike, each being a cylindrical tube with its walls formed with oppositely arranged longitudinal slits 18, 19, and the sheet 14, is attached to the rollers by passing its respective ends through the slits 18 and 19, of the rollers, and around the exterior of the rollers so as to extend from one to the other with the capacity of being unrolled from one roller and taken up by the other; the sheet being thus transferable from one roller to the other.
  • the rollers are mounted in a frame-work or casing 20, so that they may be turned in either direction on their axes; they are mounted alike, one end being placed in bearing 21, formed in the end of the casing by spinning over a rim 22, and the other end in a bearing 23, at the opposite end of the casing where a rim 24 is formed within which is a collar 25, secured to the roller, so as to hold the roller against endwise movement in the opposite direction.
  • This latter end of the roller is closed and projects a sufficient distance beyond the casing to afford a hand-grasp 26, for turning the roller in either direction on its axis by hand. See particularly Fig. '7.
  • roller 17 By turning the roller 17, in the direction of movement of the hands of a clock, the sheet 14, is wound thereon and unwound from roller 16. By reversing this operation and turning roller 16, in the opposite direction, the sheet is wound on that roller and unwound from the other.
  • the operation of the rollers serves to shift the record-sheet 14, back and forth across the platen or support 2'7, which is fixed across the casing 20, as shown in Fig. 6.
  • the roller 17, is housed by a removable portion 28, of the casing, such portion being U-shaped and open at its ends, so that the spring metal of which it is made permits of its being snapped over the end of casing 20, and held in place, at the same time it may be easily removed by pulling it away from the casing.
  • casing 20 The opposite ends of casing 20, are extended to provide arms 29, 30, which are formed at their free ends with inwardly projecting attaching lugs 31, 32, which are adapted to take into openings 33, 34, formed respectively in the frame members 2 and 3. See Fig. 6.
  • This permits of the recording device being detachably mounted on the frame, by squeezing the members 2 and 3, together, and then inserting the lugs 31, 32, in their respective holes 33, 34, in said members.
  • the recording device may be easily dismounted from the frame by squeezing the members 2, 3, together and then disengaging the lugs therefrom.
  • the roller 1'7 may be easily dismounted from the frame by squeezing the members 2, 3, together and then disengaging the lugs therefrom.
  • marking means 39 such as a pencil-lead or ink-marker, which makes contact with the surface of the subjacent record-sheet 14, so that the relative lateral movement between the two will cause a horizontal mark to be made on the sheet.
  • the record sheet 14 is provided with a graduated-scale 15, which is shown as running from O to 34, and reading from the lower part of the sheet upwardly to the top edge.
  • the graduations are shown as s -nd of an inch apart, with the numerals 0, 8, 16, 24 and 32, written on the scale so as to indicate these values respectively on the scale.
  • the arm 35, of the presser 10 is so arranged that when the presser stands at the lowest point in the compression cavity or slot 5--7, the marker 39, will stand at zero on the scale of the record sheet 14, and the marks are made in a line disposed parallel with the lines of the scale, so that the value of each mark may be quickly observed.
  • the graduations of the scale may have arbitrary values with which to compare each recorded mark as it is made on the sheet, although I have here shown the value as being -nd of an inch.
  • Fig. 8 I show a modified form of the marker arm 35", having a horizontal or longitudinal opening 38 through which a pencil may be moved to make the mark on a stationary record sheet, instead of a traveling sheet.
  • a testing plot or place for the measurement is first selected on the scalp indicated at 40, in Fig. 1, preferably on the top and located a distance rearwardly from the bridge of the nose at 41, equal to between 6 and 7 and inches.
  • a plot-locating tape 42 made of flexible material with a metal tip 43, which is formed with a transverse curve or arch 44, for fitting the depression at the bridge of the nose.
  • This tape may be assumed to be 'Y-inches long and it is applied to the head by placing the bowed metal tip at the nose-bridge and then drawing the tape upwardly and backwardly over the scalp, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1.
  • the selected plot for measurement would be G-inches distance from the nose-bridge, the tape being shown flattened out in Fig. 9, and as applied in Fig. l; the fork is guided by space 49 on the tape.
  • the hair is first parted as indicated at 45, in Fig. 1, then the comb 46, having a row of teeth covering a length of 1 and /;th inches, is placed in the hair at the forehead and the hair combed back as indicated at 47, with the tooth at the outer end of the comb tracking in the parting, the combing extending back over the plot or spot G-inches, more or less, back and from where the lot of hair is to be gathered for the measurement.
  • the kerascopic fork preferably 1 and %ths of an inch wide, is pushed along the scalp, transversely of the parting and over the selected spot or place and until the fork is filled with the hair 47, as indicated in Fig. 2.
  • the recording device arm 35 When the final position of the presser is reached, the recording device arm 35,-is pressed down by hand to bringthe marker 39, in firm contact with therecord-sheet 14, which isthen caused to travel about a half-inch under the marker, by'turning the roller 1'7. In this way the size of the compressed strand or the extent or degree to which the gathered hair strand 47, has been compressed in its confined cavity, is permanently recorded on the sheet.
  • a broad distinctive band or zone 15 running longitudinally of the sheet in the direction in which it is moved and covering its width from the twentyfourth to the twenty-ninth graduated line, that is snds of an inch; vertical lines being here shown for the band to indicate a color, such as red.
  • Any normal scalp should grow sufficient hair for the recording means to give a reading reaching to the twenty-fourth line of the scale, before hair substances of the body should find outlets on the limbs or on mens chests.
  • a device having means in which the bunch of hair filaments growing in an area of given size upon the scalp may be confined, means movable into said confining means and adapted to compress the confined bunch of hair transversely of its length in said confining means, and recording means including means controlled by the movement of said compressing means.
  • a member having means in which a bunch of hair may be confined, means on said member having a hair-receiving opening of predetermined size or capacity-for gathering in a bunch the hair filaments growing in a certain area upon the scalp and directing said hair into said confining means, means movable into said confining means and adapted to compress there in the said bunch of hair transversely of its length, and means controlled by the movement of said compressing means for indicating the size of the compressed bunch or the extent or degree to which said bunch of hair is compressed.
