Description
Nov. 14, 1939. R, M, MCFADDEN i HAIR CURLER Filed 00T.. 6, 1937 ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 14, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 5 Claims.
This invention relates to curlers, and has for an object the provision of a device so constructed and arranged that a tight ringlet type of curl may be formed in the hair.
The present curler is so constructed as to permit the forming of a ringlet hair curl through the simple expedient of 'moistening a small lock of hair and then wrapping it about a stud. The body of the hair when so wrapped is then coml pressed between two jaws, which tend to flatten the ringlet of hair and hold it in position until the hair has dried.
The present invention has for a further object the provision of a curler of the type stated,
15 which is eilicient in operation, easily manipulated by an operator, inexpensive in cost of manufacture, performs the function required of it in an efficient manner, and which is generally durable and fool-proof in operation.
20 With the above mentioned and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel and useful provision, formation, construction, association, and relative arrangement of parts, members and features, all as shown in certain em- 25 bcdiments in the accompanying drawing, de-
scribed generally, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.
In thedrawing:
Figure i is illustrative of types of the'curler 30 applied to hair for the purpose of forming a ringlet, A
Figure 2 is a perspective view of one form of the curler, the jaw members of which are swung apart,
35 Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, the jaw members being in cooperative' relationship.
Figure 4 is a sectional View on the line 4--4 of Figure 3, and showing hair included between the laws when the inner faces of said jaws are in 40 contiguous relationship,
Figure 5 is an open position of the jaws of a curler of the type contemplated by the invention, and being a modification of the type shown in Figure 2,
45 Figure 6 shows the curler of Figure 5 with the jaw members cooperating and in contiguous relationship,
Figure 7 is a sectional view on the line 1-1 of Figure 6, with hair included between the jaws,
50 Figure 8 is a further modified form of the curler, the jaws being separated,
Figure 9 is a view showing the jaws in contiguous relationship, and,
Figure 10 is a vertical sectional view on the 55 une io-in of Figure 9.
Referring now with particularity to the drawing, that form of the invention disclosed in Figures 2, 3 and 4 will be described. In Figure 2, I have provided a pair of jaws I and 2, the jaw I being substantially annular, to-wit, having seg- 5 mental rim portions 3 and 4, a central bore S, and diametrically disposed members 6 and 1 extending radially outwardly from what would constitute the rim of the jaw. The member C constitutes a lug or ilnger piece, and the member 10 1 is a portion of a lock or catch. Referring to Figure 4, it will be observed that this catch appears in cross section as a segment of a cylinder 8 provided with end trunnions S and I0, Figure 2. The plane of the jaw I is formed with an annular series of spaced perforations II. The second jaw 2 is substantially circular in form, but diametrically interrupted by the provision of cutout portions or slots I2 and I3. A lug Il extends beyond the periphery of the jaw 2. This lug is provided with two up-turned ears I5 and I6 provided with perforations adapted to receive the trunnions 9 and III. Interposed between the ears I5 and I6 and adjacent the lug Il is a leaf spring Il, the zone of greatest flexion of the leaf spring being substantially central of the two ears. Centrally secured to the jaw 2 is a stud i8. The jaw 2, as is the jaw I, is provided with an annular series of perforations I9, which perforations are in registry when the jaws are in contiguous or closed position, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.
It will be observed, upon reference to Figures 3 and 4, that the stud I8 readily passes through the opening 5 of the jaw I when the jaws are swung together. 'I'he connection between the 35 jaws is such that when the jaw I is moved relative to the jaw 2 through the hinge connection therebetween, the hinge connection being effected through the medium of the trunnions cooperating with the perforated ears, one edge of the member 40- 1, to-wit, the edge 20 will engage the surface of the spring I1 and tend to force it downwardly toward the inner surface of the lug Il. Thus, the two jaw members are held in substantially closed position and against separation. When it is desired to separate the jaws, the manipulator's linger may grasp the member t and by placing one finger against the end of the member I8, the
jaw i is readily moved relative to the jaw 2.
Referring to the form of the invention illustrated in Figures 5 to 7, inclusive, as before I have provided a pair of jaw members 40 and II. The jaw member I0 is substantially annular in form, save and except that it has diametrically disposed lugs 42 and 43. The lug 42 acts as a anger 55 piece, and the lug 43 is so constructed as to provide one part of a hinge, and one portion of locking means. In this regard, the lug 43 is angularly bent relative to the plane of the jaw, as shown at 44, and ends of said lug are provided with trunnions 45 and 46. A portion of the lug where it is bent is cut-away to provide a tongue 41. The jaw 40 is formed with a central opening 48 and with a series of annularly arranged, spaced perforations 49. The other jaw 4| comprises an annular member formed with a lug 50 and this lug is provided with two upstanding perforated ears and 52 adapted to receive the trunnions 45 and 46 of jaw 40. The lug 5|) is forme'd with a resilient tongue 59, which tongue is formed by cutting the lug at two points, as indicated at 54 and 55.
The jaw 4| .is provided with two diametrically disposed slots 56 and 51, and with a series oi perforations 58. Centrally of the jaw is a stud 59 and when the jaws are swung together about their hinge connection, the fixed tongue 41 engages the movable tongue 53 and the stud 59 is passed through the opening 48. Thus, the jaws may be resiliently secured in working relationship and held in thisrelationship, as depicted in Figure 7, due to the fact that the central pivotal or hinge connection therebetween is at an angle to the point of engagement between the' fixed jaw and the movable jaw. This relationship is such as to constantly urge the jaws together, as is self-evident.
Referring to Figures 8 to 10, inclusive, I have as before, provided two jaw members 80 and 8|. 'I'he jaw 86 is made substantially annular in form and provided with two diametrically disposed lugs 82 and 83, the lug 82 acting as a linger piece, and the lug 83 being formed to provide a pair of trunnions 84 and 85. The body of the jaw is provided with a central opening 86 and with a series of annularly arranged, spaced perforations 81. The second jaw 8| is substantially annular in f orm and provided with a lug 88 having two upstanding perforated ears 89 and 90 to receive the trunnions 84 and 85. This jaw is provided with two diametrically disposed slots 9| and 92, and with a series of annularly arranged perforations 93. The jaw 80 is provided with a resilient tongue 94 extending into the opening 86. The jaw 8| is provided with a central stud 95 formed with one or more kerfs 96. When the jaw 88.is swung relative to the jaw 8| about its hinge point, the resilient tongue will engage one of several of the kerfs 96, as depicted in Figures 9 and 10. In this manner, the jaws may be held in contiguous working relationship.
The operation, uses and advantages, of the inventions disclosed, are as follows:
Assume that any one of the three forms of curlers is to be used. The jaws are swung apart as depicted in Figures 2, 5 and 8. A small strand of hair is wetted and passed through one' of the slots I2 or I3; 56`or 51; 9| or 92. The curler is held by the operator with one hand and the strand is then wrapped around the central stud secured to one of the jaws. The other jaw is then swung so as to be positioned over the hair just wound upon the stud. By pressing upon the two jaws, the hair will be compressed therebetween, as shown in Figures 4 and 7. The lock will maintain the jaws closed until such time as the hair may be deemed to be dry. Air is permitted contact with the curled hair through the perforations in the jaws.
To release the hair, one of the jaws, usually the one carrying the finger-piece such as 6, 42 or 82, is moved relative to the other jaw and the ringlet removed from the central stud carried by the other of said jaws. The hair will then have the appearance depicted in Figure 1 at |00.
The drawing depicts three forms of curlers which I have found to operate expeditiously, and produce what may be termed a professional type ringlet.
I claim:
1. In a hair curler, a pair of jaws, hinge means therebetween, a rigid stud secured to one of said jaws, the other of said jaws being formed with an opening through which said stud may pass, and means whereby both jaws may be held closed when said stud has passed through said opening.
2. In a hair curler, a pair of substantially annular jaws, arranged to swing freely with relation to each other except when swung closed, and means whereby when said jaws are swimg together, the jaws are locked closed.
3. In a hair curler of the class disclosed, a pair of jaws, hinge means therebetween, a stud carried by one of said jaws, the second jaw formed with an opening through which said stud may pass when the jaws are swung together, and resilient means carried by one of said jaws adapted to engage the other jaw when the jaws are swung together to hold said jaws in contiguous locked relationship.
4. In a hair curler, a pair of jaws, hinge means therebetween, one of said jaws being provided with a central opening, the other of said jaws being provided with a central stud adapted to pass through said opening when said jaws are swung about said hinge means into contiguous working relationship, and a lock comprising a resilient tongue carried by one 0f said jaws, and a xed tongue carried by the other of said jaws, both adapted to cooperate to hold the jaws closed.
5. In a hair curler, a pair of jaws, one of said jaws provided with a substantially radial slot, a central stud upon said jaw, a second jaw hinged to the first jaw and provided with an opening through which is passed the stud when the jaws are in contiguous overlapping relationship; said curler when in operation adapted to have a lock of hair passed through said substantially radial slot and wrapped about the stud, and after wrapping to have the second jaw overlie said hair so curled to compress the saine between both said jaws, and means for locking said jaws when swung into overlying relation with the curled hair compressed therebetween.
