Patented Mar. 31, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,035,815 7 HAIR WAVING APPARATUS Gaspar La Bella, Springfield, Mass. Application January 18, 1935, Serial No. 2,364
6 Claims. My invention relates to improvements in hair waving apparatus, and comprises, in combination, a clamping element, a core member on which the hair is wound, and a heating element.
An object of my invention is to provide a resilient clamping device for clamping the hair adjacent the scalp and for providing a resilient cushion between the scalp and the other parts of the apparatus.
A second object of my invention is to provide, in combination with a clamping device, a core member upon which the hair may be wound preparatory to curling, and means for removably securing the core member in the clamping device.
A third object of my invention is to provide, in combination with a clamping device and a removable core member, a heating device for heating the hair while wound on the core which may be quickly and easily secured over the hair wound on the core, and as quickly and easily removed. 1
Broadly, my invention comprises a clamping device, having a pair of fiat bars, one of the bars being pivotally secured to the other, tubular members of resilient material secured on the fiat bars, means for clamping the bars together for bringing the tubular members into contact with each other, a core member, notched bearing members on the bars for receiving the core member, a ratchet on the core member, means on one of the bearing members for engaging the core, a heating device having a pair of hinged leaves, and spring means for normally forcing the leaves toward each other.
The objects and advantages of my invention will be more completely disclosed and described in the following specification, the accompanying drawing, and the appended claims.
A preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in Which:-
Fig. l is a cross, sectional view of the assembled apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a side, elevational view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal, sectional view of the same, considered in a vertical plane.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged, cross sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the core member.
Fig. 6 is a plan view of the clamping device, opened to receive a strand of hair, and
Fig. 7 is a plan View of the same in closed, or clamping position.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, in which like numerals refer to like parts throughout:
The apparatus comprises a clamping device I, a core or coiling rod 2, and a heating device 3. The hair clamping device I has a U-shaped end frame 4, to which is rigidly secured a bar 5. A second bar 6 is pivotally secured to the U-shaped frame 4, and a plate 1 ties the bars 5 and bar 6 together, below the frame 4. An angular frame 8 is pivotally secured on the opposite end of the bar 5, and a clamping lever 9 is pivotally secured between the frame 8 and a plate ill. The bar 8 is provided with a notch H which is engaged by the lever 8 to hold the bars 5 and 5 in juxtaposition. Tubular, resilient, heat insulating, clamping members [2 and I3, of rubber or other suitable material, are supported on the flat bars 5 and 6. In operation, the device is spread opened, or, as indicated in Fig. 6, a strand A of hair, inserted between the resilient clamping members l2 and l3, and the device closed and secured by the lever 9 to clamp the strand of hair adjacent the scalp B. (See Fig. 1.) The tip end C of the strand A is then inserted between a fiat bar l4 and a shaft portion l5 of the coiling rod 2, and the strand of hair coiled around the shaft l5. The frames 4 and 8 of the clamping device I are provided with bearing notches I 5, and after the hair is wound on the shaft l5, the coiling rod 2 is laid in the frames 4 and 8 with the three neck portions ll resting in the notches It. With the coiling rod in position in the notches it, a ratchet I 8 on the rod 2 is engaged by a pawl l8 secured in the frame 4, which will permit the rod 2 to be revolved to tighten the coil of hair on the rod 2, but will prevent the rod 2 from revolving to unwind or release the coil. A spring 20 normally holds the pawl I?! in engagement with the ratchet l8, but permits the pawl ii) to be moved to withdraw the rod 2 from the frames 4 and 8. A wing handle portion 2| on the rod 2 provides means for grasping the rod 2 and for revolving the same.
With the strand A tightly coiled on the rod 2, and the rod 2 secured in position in the frames 4 and 8, a moistened pad 22 is placed over the coil of hair, as indicated in Fig. 1, and the heating device 3 clamped over the pad 22 to heat the same and provide steam for curling the hair in the coil. The heating device 3 comprises a pair of leaves 23 and 24 which are hinged together at 25. Heating elements 26, in the leaves'23 and 2d, are connected by wires 26, through blocks 27 of insulating material secured on the leaves 23 and 24, to a standard plug 28 for insertion in an electrical convenience outlet. Springs 29 provide pressure for forcing the leaves 23 and 24 toward each other and form in co-operation with the hinged leaves 23 and 24, an efficient clamp, which automatically adjusts itself to the coiled hair to provide a maximum of contacting area. Handle members 30, secured on the blocks 21 provide means for forcing the leaves 23 and 24 apart to release the heating device from the coiled hair.
I am aware of, and have used in my business,
many types of hair curling apparatus, and I believe the features incorporated in the apparatus herein disclosed to be a material and considerable advance in the art. The combination in the clamping device of resilient tubular members, supported on flat bars, provides spaces between the tubular members and the flat bars which permits distortion of the tubular members under any slight pressure, whereby they will readily adapt themselves to inequalities in the thickness of the strand of hair and to contours with which they contact, thereby adding greatly to the comfort of a person to which they. are applied. The air spaces within the tubular members l2 and I3 also increase their heat-insulating qualities, thus providing an efficient barrier between the scalp and the heating device. The pawl, backed up by the spring 263, provides a positive lock for the coiling rod, but permits quick insertion and removal of the rod into and from its bearings. The hinged leaves 23 and 251, of the heating device, are particularly efiicient in conforming to varying conditions, such as the thickness and profile of the coiled hair on the rod 2, and the ease with which they may be clamped on the coiled hair and removed therefrom. The whole construction is simple, economical of manufacture, rugged and strong, and capable of long and continued use, without repairs or replacements. It is very lightweight, thereby reducing discomfort to the patient, and because of the ease and simplicity of operation, time and labor are saved in its use.
It will be observed, from the above description and drawing, that the hair is clamped very close to the head, and, in fact, very much closer than any clamp, to my knowledge. This feature is clearly shown in Fig. 1. The result is that the curling effect is very much closer to the head.
The unit, as a whole, is very much smaller than any other, being only about 1% inches in length. This materially lessens the weight of the unit.
My hair waving device has been found, from actual experience, to require only one-half of the time for steaming the hair, due to the fact that a much smaller strand, or tuft of hair, may be clamped. The result is that a better and stronger curling efiect is produced and in onehalf of the usual time.
My curling device is also of light weight and, therefore, easier to handle and more comfortable for the person who is having her hair curled.
