- CURLER Filed Oct. 14, 1955 /NVENTOR v A TTORNEY Patented Feb. 22, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CURLER- Ross M. Mama, Glendale, Calif.
Application October 14, 1935, Serial No. 44,859
2 Claims. v (01. 132-41) The present invention contemplates an improvement upon my United States Letters Patent No. 2,000,893, for Curling device, issued May 7, 1935, and No. 2,000,894 for Curler issued May 7,
In my patents, I have described a curler comprising a tube, a clamp member swingingly secured to the tube and carrying at one end a. resilient latch in the form of a rubber wheel, roller,
or the like, which is adapted to be received in part within one end of the tube to hold the clamp in longitudinal tube engagement, and in such a manner that when hair encircles the tube to form a our], the clamp will hold the hair from uncurling.
In the devices of the patents aforesaid, the inherently resilient latch does not always center itself with respect to the keeper end of the tube when it is swung to latch the same. This is particularly true of an elongated conical type tube as the latch end of said tube is usually of small diameter. The present invention relates specifically to novel means whereby the inherently resilient latch carried by the clamp will at all times engage the keeper end of the tube and properly center itself therein.
An object of the present invention is to provide an inherently resilient latch member for a curler of the character stated, which is self-centering with respect to a second member with which it is adapted to engage.
The invention is shown in one physical embodiment in the drawing and described generally in the specification.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a curler incorporating the invention, the several parts of the curler being in separated position,
Figure 2 is a plan view of the curler shown in Figure 1, parts being in changed position from that of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a view on an enlarged scale and partly in section, illustrating one position that may be assumed by parts of the curler, and,
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 showing movement of a roller member of the invention from the position of Figure 3 to Figure 4.
Referring to the drawing, I have shown a body I which is tubular in form and may be tapered,
conical, or of uniform diameter throughout its length. This body may be provided with a plurality of transverse openings whereby air may circulate internally of the body and externally thereof. Secured at one end of said body I is a clamp 2. The clamp 2 may comprise a wire bent to provide a shaft or bearing piece 3 for a resilient roller 4 carried thereon. The clamp has two side or arm members 5 and 6 forming continuations of the bearing member 3, with portions adjacent ends of said side members bent inwardly, as shown at 1 and 8. The body I adjacent 5 the end 9 is diametrically provided with transverse perforations and II to permit the said ends 1 and 8 to be received within the confines of the body for the purpose of holding the clamp to the body. In addition, I may provide a jaw I2 10 having at one end perforated ears [3, which straddle the body and through which perforations are passed the portions 1 and 8 of the clamp for holding the jaw in working position to the body.
The roller 4, constituting the latch, may be 15 formed of inherently resilient form-maintaining material, and said roller is provided with a transversely curved periphery I 4.
The operation, uses and advantages of the invention just described are as follows: 20
When hair is to be curled, certain strands of the hair are placed between the jaw l2 and the body I of the curler. The clamp is swung away from the curler body substantiallyto the position shown in Figure l. The hair is then rolled over 25 the jaw and the curler body, and when the desired amount of hair has been rolled, it is held in position by swinging the clamp to the position shown in Figure 2, in which position the resilient roller latch 4 engages the keeper end I5 of the 30 body. The length of the clamp and the size of the roller carried thereon is such that when the clamp is swung so as to latch the clamp to the body, the resilient roller in passing over the keeper end l5 will be compressed, with a portion 5 thereof received within the confines of the body at end l5, as illustrated by dotted lines at l6. in Figure 2. Sometimes, due to unevenly winding the hair upon the tubular body, in swinging the clamp, the clamp arms or sides 5 and 6 are moved angularly relative to the longitudinal axis of the body as shown by way of illustration in Figure 3. Figure 3 shows that when the roller contacts the tube in a plane other than that passing through the longitudinal axis of the body, 45 the roller is compressed in part in the manner shown at H. The roller, however, during this compression, still maintains its transverse peripheral curvature which causes the roller in its engagement with end l5 to automatically center 50 relative thereto.
The diameter of the roller or its curvature is such as to cause it to best conform to the curvature of the opening of the end 15 of the tubular body. 55
In actual use and'practice, it has-been found that the present roller constructed as described will immediately center the clamp, and in this manner the user of the curler need not give any particular attention to the clamp when it is desired to secure hair upon the tubular body. The roller construction is such as to not, of necessity, close the entire end l5 oi the tubular body, but as a matter of fact, allows air openings between the sides of the roller and the end of the body, as shown for the zones marked l8 and I9. It is important in curler construction of the type contemplated by this invention, that as much air as possible be allowed to enter the inside of the tube so that there may be air contact through the openings in the tube with the hair wrapped therearound.
I claim:
1. In a curling device, an open ended curler body, a swingingly mounted clamp adapted to be swung to a position longitudinally of the body with its outer end overlying the outer end of said body,
and a resilient disc roller with a transversely curved periphery rotatably mounted on the outer end of the clamp being compressible to facilitate movement to clamping position and automatically centered upon such engagement by the curved peripheral contact with the open body end without entirely closing the end of said body.
2. In a curling device, a tubular curler body with an open outer end, a swingingly mounted clamp adapted to be swung to a. position longitudinally of the body with its outer end overlying the outer end of said body, and a resilient disc roller with an outer portion conforming to the curvature of the outer open end of the body rotatably mounted on the outer end of the clamp being compressible to facilitate movement to clamping position and automatically centered upon such engagement by the conformity of the outer portion of the roller to the open outer end of the tubular body without entirely closing the end of said body.
