HAIR CURLER Filed June 14, 1940 4 INVENTOR- 4 6 JWJTNESSES Il Ragnvald @Lela-NGZ Patented July 29, 1941 UNTED S 10 Claims.
This invention relates to hair curlers and has for an object to provide an improved construction designed for home use fand wherein curls may be made close to the scalp and retained in this position until set. n
Another object of the invention is to provide a hair curler formed substantially at throughout and provided with means for receiving a pair of tying elastic bands arranged so that either band may be looped over a given curl according to which band is next to the scalp.
An additional object is to provide a hair curler in which a coiled bunch of hair is tied by an elastic band and held in place during the time the curler body is being removed and as long thereafter as desired.
In the accompanying drawing- Fig. 1 is a face view of a hair curler disclosing an embodiment of the invention, one of the elastic bands being partly removed;
Fig. 2 is an edge View of the structure shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an end View of the structure shown in Fig. 1 with the elastic bands removed;
Fig. 4 is a plan View of one of the elastic bands shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 isa view similar to the left-hand ,end illustrated in Fig. 1 showing how the end of a bunch of hair is fitted -between the jaws of the curler;
Fig. 6 is a view of the curler with a bunch of l hair coiled thereon;
Fig. 7 is a view similarto Fig. 6 but showing one of the elastic bands looped over the coiled hair for tying the same;
Fig. 8 is a view in perspective showing the coiled hair and the curler immediately after the curler has been removed;
Fig. 9 is a perspective View of the elastic band when in tying position;
Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a coil of hair showing the collapsed position of the T-shaped head of the flexible resilient tying member as it is pulled through the coiled hair.
Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, the 'curler is provided with a flat body I merging into i'lat jaws 2 and 3. The body I and jaws 2 and 3 may be made of metal, wood, or
other material, but is preferably made of a transparent or translucent plastic material, as for inwith pointed extensions 6 and l, whereby notches 8 and 9 are presented. By reason of the fact that the parts 4 and 5 are bent vat the angles just mentioned, one run of band II, namely run I0 as shown in Fig. 2, is spaced from the body I, whereby the fingers of the operator may readily be inserted into the band.
As illustrated particularly in Fig. 2, the elastic tying member II is provided with runs I0 and I2. At one end it merges into a substantially straight handle I3 and at the otherend into -a T-shaped anchor I4. The elastic tying member II is made of flat material and has the obverse and reverse faces arranged parallel.
As shown in the drawing, there are provided two tying members, one for each edge of the hair curler, This is Very desirable because when a bunch of hair I5 is inserted between the Walls I6 and I'l and then the curler is rotated for winding the hair, one edge of the curlerV will naturally be close to the scalp when the winding is completed. In order to hold the bunch of hairv I5 close to the scalp, the tying member II nearcst the scalp is swung over as indicated in Fig. 7. The anchor end I4 is held secured While the end I3 of the tying member is disengaged from the body I and thereafter the end I3 is passed over and engaged with the anchorvend I4, as illustrated in Fig. 7, after which the body Iv is removed from the coiled hair I5, whereby the coiled hair will remain in its desired location held in coiled condition by the tying member. The tying member II will appear as shown at the left in Fig. 8.
Each of the jaws 2 and 3 is provided with a notch I8 in the free end. The material I9 forming the outer part of the notch is projected beyond the material 2i) forming the inner part of the notch. This allows the end of the tying member to be slipped into the notch with ease and then stretched and placed in position as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The body l and jaws 2 and 3 are preferably slightly resilient and by reason of the aperture or opening 2l and ' apertures 22 and 23, the jaws may be swung apart sufficiently to allow the desired quantity of hair to be inserted between the walls I6 and I'I, as shown in Fig. 5. The walls I6 and Il merge into the curved walls 24 and 25 which extend to the free end of the jaws and thereby provide a large cavity or notch 26, whereby the handle end of the tying member may be readily swung over the free end of the jaw and allowed to move to the position shown in Fig. '1. This completes the operation of coiling and tying the coiled hair.
It is then merely necessary to remove the curler as indicated at the right in Fig. 8.
It will be understood that after the hair has been coiled the desired tying member II is grasped, as shown at the right in Fig. l, and then this member is swung over until it assumes the position shown in Fig. 7, The other tying member is left in place and when the curler is again used a new tying member is provided for the side of the curler not having a tying member. The tying member being soft resilient rubber may be readily left in position in the coiled hair for any desired length of time, as for instance overnight. The tying members being rubber will not be objectionable while sleeping.
When it is desired to remove the tying membei', the handle I3 is grasped and pulled to the left, as shown in Fig. 8, and the same' will readily slip over the anchor I4. The handle I3 and associate parts are then swung to the right. The tying member Il may then be readily pulled through the coiled hair without disturbing the same as shown in Fig. 10.
I claim:

A hair curler including a body of flat slightly elastic material formed with a pair of slightly spaced jaw members between which the end of a bunch of hair is adapted to be inserted, each of said jaw members having a notch in the outer end, said body at the end opposite said jaw members having a pair of spaced notches and an elastic loop adapted to be positioned in each pair of notches, said elastic loops being arranged so that each loop will be held by one notch at the end of the body and one notch at the free end of a jaw.
