Description
UNITED STATES iii PATENT OFFICE HAIR CURLER Paul Van Cleef, Chicago, Ill., assignor to Van Cleef Bros., Chicago, Ill., a Noah Van Cleef, Feli Cleef, and Paul Van Application April 24,
2 Claims.
The present invention relates generally to hair curlers. More particularly the invention relates to that type of hair curler which is adapted to have a lock of. hair wound or wrapped there- 5 around and comprises an elongated body in the form of a round rubber length and a metallic core in the central portion of the body.
One object of the invention is to provide a hair curler of this type in which the body instead of being formed of solid vulcanized rubber as has heretofore been customary is formed of soft sponge rubber so that it readily grips and attaches itself to the hair and is of such softness that it will not scratch or otherwise injure the scalp or make the wearer uncomfortable while reclining or sleeping.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hair curler of the last mentioned character in which the outer face of the sponge rubber body is suiliciently porous so that when a lock of wetted hair is Wound therearound it will readily dry.
A. further object of the invention is to provide a hair curler of the type and character under consideration in which the core is in the form of wire and is made of aluminum or like sofii, pliable, non-rusting metal so that when the ends of the curler are bent in order to.hold a lock of hair around the body the curler retains its bent shape or ixed position.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a hair curler which may be manufactured at a low and reasonable cost and is generally an improvement upon previously designed curlers of the same general character.
Other objects of the invention and the various advantages and characteristics of the present hair curler construction will be apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description.
The invention consists in the several novel features which are hereinafter set forth and are more particularly defined by claims at the concluslon hereof.
In the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of this specification or disclosure and in which like numerals of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Figure 1 is a perspective showing a hair curler embodying the invention with a lock of hair Wound therearound;
Figure 2 is a perspective showing the curler with the ends thereof bent inwardly in order to hold it in place with respect to the lock of hair wrapped therearound;
partnership consisting of s Van Cleef, Maxime Van Cleet 1935, Serial No. 17,983
Figure 3 is a. longitudinal section of the curler showing the character and length of the aluminum wire core in the central portion of. the body of the curler;
Figure 4 is a transverse section on the line 4 4 of Figure 3; and
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective of the curler illustrating the porous condition of the outer face of the sponge rubber body.
The hair curler which forms the subject matter of the invention is adapted, as shown in Figure 1, to have a lock of hair wrapped therearound and comprises an elongated body 6 and a core 1. The body is formed .of a round or cylindrical length of. sponge rubber. It is of uniform width or thickness from one end thereof to the other and is of such length that when a lock of hair is Wound around the central portion thereof its ends project outwardly a suiicient distance 'beyond the lock to permit th ly, as shown in Figure 2, into a position wherein the curler is securely held in place. 'I'he core 1 is in the form of a length of aluminum wire which extends longitudinally through the central portion of the body and is of such softness or pliability that it may be readily bent without breaking. As shown in Figure 3, the core is of such length that the ends thereof terminate inwardly of the ends of the body. Because of this the ends of the body of the curler are soft and the core is not exposed. By reason of the fact that the core is formed. of soft pliable aluminum wire, the ends of the curler may be bent inwardly, as shown in Figure 2, into a position wherein they hold the curler in place. The outer face of. the sponge rubber body is sufficiently porous, as shown in Figure 5, so that in the event wetted hair is Wrapped around the curler it will readily dry. By having a porous body the hair in order to produce a proper curl need not be wetted as much as is necessary with a curler having a substantially non-porous body. Another advantage and feature of utilizing sponge rubber as contradistinguished from Solid vulcanized rubber is that the curler is soft and is not likely to scratch or otherwise injure the scalp of the wearer. In addition it has such gripping properties that the hair will not slip therearound. An additional advantage of forming the body of sponge rubber is that the body is placed under a certain amount .of comf pression when the hair is wrapped therearound and thus holds the wrapped lock under a certain degree of tension. -Because of this tension a more tightly Wound curl is formed. The body of the curler may, if desired, be perfumed.
ein to be bent inward- In using the curler in connection with the curling of a lock of hair the outer end of the lock is first wrapped tightly around the central portion of the body of the curler and then the curler is rolled by the fingers so as to cause the lock to be wrapped around the body, as shown in Figure l. After the hair is wrapped around the body the ends of the c urler are bent inwardly, as shown in Figure 2. With the ends of the body in their bent position the curler is securely held in place. In the event that the lock of hair is wetted the hair will quickly dry because of. the porous nature of the sponge rubber body 6.
In making or fabricating the curler the aluminum core 1 is either pushed lengthwise through the central portion of the sponge rubber body or the body is molded around the core. Because of the simplicity of its construction the curler may be manufactured at a low and reasonable cost. The curler because of the fact that the body thereof is formed of sponge rubber is so soft that 1t will not make the wearer uncomfortable while sleeping or reclining. In addition it is sanitary and may be washed when so desired.
The invention is not to be understood as restricted to the details set forth, since these may be modified within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by letters Patent is:
1. As a new article of manufacture, a hair curler comprising an elongated body of uniform thickness from one end thereof to the other and adapted to have a lock of hair wrapped directly around the central portion thereof and its ends bent inwardly to hold it in place with respect to the hair and formed of a substantially cylindrical length of soft readily compressible sponge rubber, and a substantially coextensive core in the 'central portion of the body formed of readily pliable material and adapted to retain the ends of the body in their bent position.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a hair curlei` comprising an elongated body of uniform thickness from one end thereof to the other adapted to have a lock of. hair wrapped directly varound the central portion thereof and its ends bent inwardly to hold it in place with respect to the hair and formed of a substantially cylindrical length of soft, readily compressible, sponge rubber with a porous outer face, and a soft metal core for holding the ends of the body in their bent position extending longitudinally through the center of the body and having the ends thereof terminating slightly inwards of the ends of said body.
