Description
June 27, 'R. BACQN mun CURL CLASP Filed Feb. '18, 1939 Inventor ROBERT BA co/v,
Patented June 27, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
The present invention relates to accessories and equipment such as hairpins, clamps, clasps and the like, especially but not necessarily, usable in so-called beauty-parlors, hair-dressing emporiums and the like.
More specifically, I have evolved and produced a simple, economical and highly useful clasp employable to advantage and with expediency in the hand formation of so-called sculpture curls.
By way of explanation, it is to be pointed out that, at the present time, the hair-dressing attendant experiences considerable difliculty in manipulating and satisfactorily utilizing present day bobby pins in fashioning sculpture curls. That is to say, it is difficult, using one hand, to spread the gripping jaws of the bobby pin so that it may be fed or slipped lengthwise into the curl at the desired point-of insertion and maintenance. I have therefore discovered the need for the provision of a simple clip or clasp to take the place of the bobby pin.
Briefly, in reducing to practice the principles of this invention, I employ a simplified well-designed and balanced innovation, thishaving jaws equivalent to those of the conventional bobby pin and said jaws being spread apart by finger grips, the finger grips having interposed between them spring means for automatically pressing the jaws together into constant gripping relationship.
Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and drawing.
In the drawing, wherein the preferredembodiment of my invention is illustrated, and wherein like numerals are employed to designate corresponding details throughout the views:
Figure 1 is an edge elevation of the curl clasp asconstructed in accordance with the principles of this invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the finger grips pressed together with the jaws or retention limbs spread apart to facilitate insertion into the curl.
Figures 4 and 5 are detail sections on the lines 4-4 and 55 respectively of Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a diagrammatic view showing the manner in which the clasp is applied and held on the flat style so-called sculpture curl.
The improved clasp or clip as a unit is denoted by the numeral 1. It comprises one straight and long limb or jaw 8 and a companion slightly shorter jaw opposed thereto. The latter has a flared terminal end 9 and is crimped intermediate its ends to providethe desired sinuous bends l0.
The right hand ends of the jaws are fashioned to provide what may be conveniently called operating members or'levers Ii and [2. The crimped I jaw is offset as at I3 and a somewhat less acute offset is at I4 in the opposed jaw. These offsets 6 coact with the bight portion I5 of a U-shaped spring. The spring has its arms interposed between the operating members ll-and l2. These arms l6 are secured to the free ends of the members II and i2 by metal sleeves or the like I1 10 wrapped around the parts as shown to advantage in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5.
It seems unnecessary in a document, of this type, to attempt to specifically extol all the many commercial aspects, ofthis ingenious clasp. It is suflicient to say, therefore, that it has all of the advantages of the acceptable bobby pins plus the outstanding improvement of providing spring pressed operating members I i and I2 to open and close the tress gripping jaw. Therefore, the clasp can be inserted with the jaws open to occupy the position shown in Figure 6 in which position it performs the requisite retention results.
Nor is it apparently necessary to delve into the technique of forming curls of this type, or to explain in detail how thepresent bobby pins are used and just why this device is an outstanding improvement. This seems to be evident from the drawing and to persons skilled in the line of endeavor to which the invention relates,v
It is though thatthe description taken in connection with the drawing will enable a clear understanding of the invention to be had. Therefore, a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, it is to be understood that minor changes coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.
I claim: I
A curl forming and retention clasp especially adapted for beauty parlor use in the hand formation of so-called sculpture curls comprising a pair of simultaneously cooperable longitudinally elongated companion limbs, a relatively small independent U-shaped spring interposed between corresponding operating ends of said limbs, the arms of said spring resting in immediate contact with the opposed linner faces of coacting portions 50 of said limbs to dispose the latter in superposed relation, the free ends of the arms of thespring terminating flush with the adjacent inner ends of said limbs, duplicate short metal sleeves embracing the ends of the spring arms and limbs the outer ends of'the sleeves being flush with the addacent ends of the spring arms and limbs, the opposite jaw forming ends of said limbs being extended beyond the bight portion of the spring at which point they are inwardly offset and then bent together to conform to adjacent portions of said bight and further bent to come into contactto provide constantly closed readily separable hair clasping jaws.
