HAIR CURLER Filed March 22, 1940 6/ a 6 e fi INVENTOR Harryfi Klein,
@ M M ATT RNEY Patente d June 24, 1941 UNETE 13 Claims.
This invention relates to a hair curler of the type wherein the hair is wound around a cylinder with provisions for gripping the hair preliminarily to winding and retaining the hair in wound state around the cylinder.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a conveniently utilizable, eificient, and improved hair curling device of the above type, with improved means for preliminary gripping of the hair, subsequent winding of the hair, concluding retention of the wound hair, and the general performance of the hair curler and resulting hair curling operation.
Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shows a general elevation of the hair curler of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the hair curler shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevational view showing a detail of the invention.
Figs. 4, 5 are transverse cross-sectional end e1evatlons of the hair curler, taken on the lines 4!, 5-5 respectively.
Fig. 6 is an elevation, on a reduced scale, of a hair curler, showing a modification of the invention.
The hair curler i has a tubular cylinder 2,
provided with ventilating perforations 3, for
winding the hair therearound, and said cylinder consists of two fractional half-cylinders 4 having beak-like end portions 5 provided at their ex tremities with laterally projecting hollow lugs 5. One of the half-cylinders 4 is provided with a sectoral projection 1 that registers with a corresponding recess 8 formed in the other half cylinder, Figs. 3, 2, and said registering projections and recesses are located at the junctions of the beak-like portions 5 with the half-cylinders 4 proper, whereby pressure upon the terminals of the portions 5 causes the half-cylinders 4 to open or swing away from each other about said registering parts, which thus constitute a joint fulcrum or hinge 9 for the half-cylinders, Fig. 2. A cylinder l0 encases the portions 5, with their lugs 6 protruding through openings it formed in said cylinder, and a leaf spring l2 located between said portions has its terminals within and pressing against the lugs 6, as illustrated in Fig. 2, in which manner the half-cylinders 4 are normally maintained closed under tension. The cylinder H1 is provided with a marginal collar l3 and near thereto a bead I i, between which is located a circular framing l5 rotatably mounted about said cylinder and carrying a hair retaining arm Hi, and between the framing l5 and collar i3 is situated a spring washer i! that bears upon both of these parts laterally, in which manner the relative rotation of the retaining arm I6 with its depending framing l5 about the cylinder ill with its depending conjoint half-cylinders 4 is at all times maintained under frictional spring tension.
When utilizing the hair curler, the lugs ii are pressed inwardly into cylinder ID, to open the half-cylinders as shown in Fig. 1, the end of the strand of hair is then placed between the halfcylinders l, and then the lugs 6 are released, whereupon the half-cylinders 4 gain a grip upon the end of the hair by the tension of the spring 52. While the arm I6 is then held with one hand, the cylinder Iii is rotated with the other, and the winding of the hair is thereby continued around the cylinder 2, until the space between it and the arm is snugly filled. The device is then left upon the head in this condition for any requisite length of time, at the end of which it may be removed by pressing upon the lugs 6 to ease the grip upon the curl of hair and simultaneously sliding the cylinder 2 off and out from the formed curl. While the curler is maintained in operative condition upon the head when left thereon, any tendency ,of the cylinder 2 to rotate backwardly, relatively to the stationary arm i5 that retains the curl, is retarded by the frictional tension of said cylinder and arm produced by the action of spring washer ll upon collar l3 of the knurled cylinder Hi and the framing l5 depending from the arm 16, whereby any accidental uncurling of the device from the formed curl is prevented.
According to the modification shown in Fig. 6, the entire hair curler is made in the manner shown and described in connection with Figs. 2, but without possessing the hair retaining armv I6 of Fig. 1. This hair curler may he therefore utilized as set forth hereinabove, but it may be removed directly after the curl is formed, as may be required in a variety of hair curling conditions.
Variations may be resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
