HAIR CURLER Filed Sept. 11, 1940 Aiiorny Patented May 27, 1941 'UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HAIR. CURLER Theodore S. Smalley, Gladstone, N. J. Application September 1'1, 1940, Serial No. 356,384
3 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in hair curlers for curling or waving women's hair.
The invention is designed with the particular objects in view of providing an inexpensive, durable, and light-weight device of this character which may be quickly and easily applied, will conform to the shape of the head, will not slip or work out of place, is as nearly as possible invisible, and is adapted to fit snugly against the head whether a woman's hair is thick or thin.
To the accomplishment of the above, and subordinate objects presently appearing, a preferred embodiment of my invention has been illustrated in the accompanying drawing, set forth in detail in the succeeding description, and defined in the claims appended hereto. I
In said drawing: I
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of .the preferred embodiment of my invention,
Figure 2 is a view in perspective-of the form-,- er,
Figure 3 is a similar view of the holder,
Figure 4 is a view in end elevation of the former, and
Figure 5 is a view in transverse section taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawing by numerals, the curler of my invention, in the illustrated embodiment thereof, comprises, as its basic elements a former l and a holder 2.
The former l comprises a substantially tubular member 3 of any desired length, formed of any suitable resilient, flexible and transparent material, preferably a plastic, said member having equi-distantly spaced slots 4 of uniform width extending longitudinally thereof to within a short distance of its ends, a polygonal, preferably hexagonal, bore forming polygonal end sockets therein, and a fiat, longitudinally extending, preferably integral, attaching finger 6 laterally offset outwardly of the former to exsecuring the hair to the former.
tend parallel therewith over one slot 4, the finof the former under reaction of the bar into normal position. As will be understood the studs 8 are designed to fit into the sockets 5 and the holder is designed to function as a clasp for The bar I of the holder 2 has rounded side edges 9 and a convex outer face In to prevent injury to the hair. Preferably the studs 8 are bored axially as at H, for a purpose presently seen.
In the use of the described curler, the finger 6 is flexed outwardly of the holder I and the finger and holder inserted over the hair to be curled in straddling relation to the strands thereof, the hair being preferably moistened preparatory to curling. The finger 6 is then released, and the hair rolled on the holder l until the curl is fully formed and the holder abuts the head and is flexed under pull of the hair tight against .the head and into curvature conforming thereto. The holder 2 is then attached to the former I, in the manner already described, so as to clasp the curl to said holder.
The slots 4 in the former I provide for the passage of air through the curl so that it will dry quickly. The bores II in the studs 8 provide for the entrance of air into the former so that such air may circulate through the hair strands. Also said slots 4 render the former more flexible and decrease the weight of same. The described shape of the sockets 5 and studs 8 provide for attachment of the holder in different angular positions around the former and for locking of the holder to the former against turning in any of such positions, so that said holder may be easily applied and locked to the former against turning, thereby securing the device to the hair and against the head so that it will not work 0r jar loose. The entire device, being transparent, is substantially invisible when in the hair.
The foregoing will, it is believed, sufiice to impart a clear understanding of my invention without further explanation.
Manifestly the invention, as described, is susceptible of modification without departing from the inventive concept, and right is herein reserved to such modifications as fall within the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having described the invention, what I claim 1 1. A hair curler comprising a tubular former for winding up hair thereon to curl the same, and a bar-like holder for clamping the wound hair to the former adapted to straddle the former lengthwise thereof and having ends fitting into the ends of the former, said holder being resilient for flexing to remove the ends thereof from said ends of the former and for fitting of said ends thereof into the ends of the former with a snap action. said former being flexible for bending to conform to the shape of the head. and said former and holder being of transparent material to render the same: substantially invisible when on the hair.
2. A hair curler comprising a tubular former for winding up hair thereon to curl the same, and a bar-like holder for clamping the wound hair to the former adapted to straddle the former lengthwise thereof and having ends fitting into the ends of the former, said holder being resilent for flexing to remove the enih thereof from said ends of the former and for fitting of said ends thereof into the ends of the former with a snap action, said ends of the former and those of the holder being polygonal for interfitting in diiferent angular positions of the holder and former and interlocking in such posi- 20 tions.
means 3. A hair curler comprising a tubular former for winding up hair thereon to curl the same, and a bar-like holder for clamping the wound hair to the former adapted to straddle the forrner lengthwise thereof and having ends fitting into the ends of the former, said holder being resilient for flexing to remove the ends thereof from said ends of the former and for fitting of said ends thereof into the ends of the former with a snap action, said former being provided with an overlying longitudinally extending finger of resilient material for clamping the ends of hair to the former preparatory to winding up the hair, said ends of the former and those of the holder interiltting and interlocking in different angular positions of said holder and former to prevent relative turning of the same.
