2 Claims. (01. 155-174)' The principal object of my invention is to gagement with the shaft M at times. The nuprovide a device that will steady and hold the meral l6 designates a Supp arm rigidly 8 head of a person getting a permanent hair wave. cured to the upper portion of the shaft I4.
A further bj t, of thi invention i t provide Rigidly secured at one end to the outer end portion a head support and rest for use during the procof the arm 16 is a bracket member ll. This 5 ess of obtaining a permanent wave that is easily bracket m m I? is u v d to oos ly m ra e and quickly adjusted to conform with heads of the back of the head of the subject and has a various shapes and sizes. curved plate ll to which is secured by suitable A still further object of my invention is to means on its inner side a pad element 18 of suitprovide a head support for use in connection able resilient material such as sponge rubber 10 with permanent hair waving machines that is or the like.

This pad I8 is designed to engage the back These and other objects will be apparent to lower portion of the head and is shaped acthose skilled in the art. cordingly, as shown in Fig. 2. In order that 113 My invention consists in the construction, arthis pad member [8 will not only steady the' 5 rangement and combination of the various parts head, but partially support it as well, it is set at of the device, whereby the objects contemplated an angle to the vertical, i. e., outwardly and upare attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, wardly, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The numeral pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the IS designates a second bracket member designed I20 accompanying drawing, in which: to loosely embrace the front portion of the head '20 Fig. 1 is a side view of my complete device in of the subject. This bracket I9 is curved to con- .use, with dotted lines showing a permanent hair form to the curvature of the head and is comwaving machine and a subject receiving a perplementary to the bracket member II. It is pivmanent wave therefrom. otally secured at one of its ends to the outer end Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the upper portion portion of the arm l6 by the thumb screw 20. '25

To accomplish The obtaining of a permanent hair wave is the engagement of the forehead by this pad 2! a very tedious and prolonged experience. One it is necessary to position it in a plane substanof the chiefreasons for this is that so much of tially above the horizontal plane of the pad I8. the weight of the permanent waving equipment This is made possible by bending the arm 19 up- 35 rests on the subjects head that it requires great wardly, as shown in Fig. 3. effort and considerable strength to hold the head The practical operation of the device is as folupright. The usual procedure is for the operator lows: The device is moved up adjacent the subto manually support and hold the subjects head j t, as shown in Fig. 1, with the pad l8 at the du the hair wav op rati n. This is, of back of the head. With the set screw l5 loosened, 40 course unsatisfactory and also requires much the shaft I4 is manually lowered or raised to bring unnecessary time of the operator. I have overthe pad 8 to the desired height By mtatmg the come all such objections as will hereinafter be shaft '4 the Supporting arm "5 will be properly appreciated.

With the pad elements 7 l8 and 2| engaging the spectively the head of the subjectwill be successfully supported and held, thereby'afiording comfort to the subject andreleasing theoperator of the permanent waving machine for other du-, i ties. It will also be found that my device is highly '10 desirable duringthe blocking of the hair and be fore the heating elements of the permanent waving machine are placed on the hair, asthe device Iwill hold the head of the subject in rigid position,

By locating the pad I8 low on the back portion of the head of thesubject and the pad 2| onthe I f a forehead of thefsubjeot, the device will in no way 'interferewith the procedure of giving the permanent wave. For sanitary purposes, covers may be proi-ided 'for the'pads l8 and 2!. By the bracket'meniber l9 beinghing'edly attached, the "device may be easily and quickly attached to the head of a subject and the variation in the size or shape cf heads of various' subjects may automatically be compensated for. In some instances it may be desired torigidly secure my' eomplete T device to the permanent waving machine.
