8 Claims.
This invention relates to a hair waving guard adapted for use as a scalp protector during the operation of waving or curling hair.
Various means have heretofore been used to :5. protect the scalp, particularly against burns, during a thermo-mechanical hair curling operation.
Most devices for accomplishing this purpose generally contain two clamping members adapted to hold therebetween a strand of hair,--these 10 members having the engaged portions thereof in overlapping relation to create a seal for excluding steam and keeping the heat generated by the apparatus from reaching the scalp. Where overlapping members are employed, however, the hair 15 clamped therebetween generally becomes distorted, with resulting unsightly undulations or uneven waves therein. To overcome these disadvantages we have conceived this invention whereby such undesirable results are obviated,
20 and whereby the scalp is thoroughly protected from the dangers to which it is generally exposed during the hair waving process.
Not only has it always been deemed imperative to protect the scalp from burns by conduction,
but also to prevent the leakage thereon of lotions generally used in the hair waving process and of steam produced thereby. To accomplish this purpose, a felt pad is occasionally introduced intermediate the hair waving apparatus and the scalp, the pad containing therein a slit through which a strand of hair is drawn for holding same between suitable clamping members. This entails considerable inconvenience due to the difficulty of opening up the slit and pulling the hair therethrough. Furthermore, inasmuch as the usual type of pad employed for this purpose is not of yieldable material, repeated openings of said slit results in the creation of a permanent aperture through which the lotion or steam can leak.
40 1 It is hence another one of our objects to obviate this disadvantage by enabling a leak-proof pad of this nature to be operatively employed in conjunction with the clamping members of the guard constituting our invention. And it is still another object of this invention to permit the clamping members necessarily employed in a device of this kind to be releasably and adjustably held in operative engagement when applied to strands of hair of various thicknesses.
Other objects, features and advantages will appear from the drawing and the description hereinafter given.
Referring to the drawing,
55 Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the hair waving guard constituting our invention, showing a strand of hair clamped thereby.
Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the catch shown as an element of the device of Fig.- ure 1.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary plan view of the structure of Figure 1, showing the latch and catch in locked position. p
Figure 4 is a transverse section of one form of this device showing the two sections of the felt l0 pad in compressible engagement when theclamping members are in their operative clamping positions.
Figure 5 is a plan view of this invention, showing the clamping members separated. Figure 6 is another fragmentary planview of a form of this invention, showing the relationship of the line of contact of the twofelt sections of the pad to the contiguous abutting edges of the clamping members, and I I Figure 7 shows another form of our invention where the clamping members are adapted for slidable coaction.
In the drawing, the clamping members 10 and l I are made of insulating material, and are pivot.- ally joined by the link 12, said members containing the serrated or toothed edges l3 and'M respectively, adapted for complementary abutting engagement by the registry of the teeth on one member with the notches on the other. Underlying the said members are the two pads l5 and I6 made of felt or any other soft insulating material adapted for the purpose. The clamping member I I is provided with a swingable latch I],
mounted at Ila and adapted for locking. engage ment with the spring catch l8 secured to member l!l,-said catch containing thereon the ele: ment is adapted for operative engagement with any of the teeth 26 on the said latch, 1
In the operation of this device, the clamping 40 members Ill and II are separated, and a strand of hair inserted therebetween, and then the said members vare brought together until the edges l3 and M thereof are in complementaryuenga gement to clamp the said strand of hairth'erebetween. The latch .17 is then swung into place underneath the catch l8 whereupon, due to :the resiliency of the said catch, the element 19 will engage a tooth on the latch to hold the members lo and II in their clamping positions.
Inasmuch as the hair-engaging edges l3 and M are in abuttable relation, and not overlapping one another, the strand of hair therebetween will not-he unduly distorted-and yet the guard, because of its insulating properties, will prevent any of the heat of the hair waving apparatus from passing therethrough to the scalp. The complementary engagement of the said serrated edges l3 and I4, held together by means of the latch l1 and catch l8, prevent any seepage therethrough of steam or the lotion employed for the purpose. Should any liquid manage to seep therethrough, it will be prevented from making any further downward progress due to the fact that the two pads l5 and I6 are in abutting engagement,thereby providing additional protection to the scalp. It should further be noted that the heat-insulating efiect of this device is enhanced by the heat-resisting property of the pad itself.
It is preferable to have the width of the pads I5 and I6 so designed that upon a closing of the clamping members these sections will be in compressed abutting engagement, such as is indicated in Figure 4,--thereby providing further insurance against the seepage of the liquid or steam therethrough.
' Inasmuch as the element l9 of the catch [8 is engageable with any one of the teeth on the latch l1, it is obvious that this device can be adjustably used with strands of hair of various thicknesses, the said locking elements being adapted for cooperable coaction at a plurality. of points along a line transverse to the engaged edges of the clamping'members. As a further protective measure, it is desirable to have the line of engagement 2| (see Figure 6) of the two pads underlying the abutting serrated portions of the engaging edges of the clamping members, and
offset with respect to the abutting smooth portions 22 and. 23 thereof.
Although a pivotal arrangement of the two clamping members is preferred, it is also within the contemplation of our invention to have these members adapted for mutual abuttable engagement in other ways, such as by having said members slidably movable with respect to each other, as indicated in Figure '7. In this modification, the members 24 and 25 each contain a toothed 3 latch- rail 26 and 21 respectively, adapted for operative engagement with the catches 28 and 29 which contain the tooth-engaging elements 30 and 3| respectively. It is obvious that the two members 24 and 25 can be slidably moved to or away from each other, and can be held locked in any position due to the cooperable coaction of said elements 30 and 3| with the teeth on the members 26 and 27. The clamping members of this modification also contain the toothed or ser 55 rated edges 32 and 33 adapted for complementary abutting engagement,--said clamping members having associated therewith the felt pads 34 and 35,-the entire combination functioning in a manner similar to the form of our invention disclosed in Figure 1.
It is of course understood that the various embodiments above described and shown in the drawing are illustrative of our invention and not employed by way of limitation, inasmuch as numerous changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of this invention.
