    • III SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • A. Objects of the Invention [0004]
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a hair roller assembly having surface which effectively grips and holds the hair for rolling. [0005]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide is to provide a foam insert with an opening in the center which allows steam to permeate the foam and thus retain the heat from the steam. [0006]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a solid cover made of heat condutive material such as aluminum or aluminum alloy which may be placed over the roller which retains the heat longer than commercially available covers made of plastic. [0007]
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide and economical option for persons who presently posses a steam roller system can add these improved rollers to their presently possesed system. [0008]
  • Another object of the present invention it is to provide a system for rolling perms which can be down the much more quickly and easier than previously with the improved rollers of the present invention. [0009]
  • Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following Description and Drawings. [0010]
    • B. SUMMARY
  • In accordance with the present invention a hair roller [0011] 10 is provided including a cylindrical foam rubber insert 20 having a longitudinally extending hole 22 extending throughout the length 24 of the foam rubber member. Rows of plastic tips 30 are provided around the circumference of the foam robber member extending along the length 24 of the foam rubber member. The tips are located at an angle with the horizontal a in FIG. 1 around the circumference. The foam rubber member 20 with the rows of plastic tips 30 in place is placed in a cap 40 made of heat conductive material such as aluminum or aluminum alloy having a body portion 41 and an opening 42 at one side 44 to receive the foam rubber member with the roles of plastic tips having suffecient resiliency to receive the foam rubber member with the roles of plastic tips and maintain them in place. Projections 46 and 47 at an angle with the horizontal b in FIG. 5 extend outwardly a distance C and are located a distance D apart.
