HAIR ROLLER Filed March 26, 1941 AVA-qua.
Patented Nov. 25, 1941 UNITED stares- PTENT OFFICE HAIR ROLLER Stephen F. Kayn, New" York, N. Y., assignor to Ross McFadden, Hollywood, Calif.
Application March 26, 1941, Serial No. 385,347
6 Claims. (Cl. 132-38) This invention relates to improvements in hair rollers, being particularly directed to the herdble invisible type thereof for use in winding wide strandsof hair into roll or curl formations.
Up to the present time, hair rollers of the invisible type adapted to be maintained within the formed roll or curl, have been of the closed loop construction defining sides which had to be spread apart prior to the insertion of a flat and wide strand of hair therebetween, thereafter brought towards one another to clamp the hair and rotated about the axis of the length thereof until a coil of hair was formed. In such device, the user, normally manipulating behind the head, of necessity had the tedious task of locating the loop opening defined between the sides of the roller, and thereafter, drawing the wide strand of hair therethrough, or vice versa. In such hit or miss operations a buckling and twisting of the device was developed prior to the winding or rolling steps, as the sides'were bent or bowed to receive the hair strand, such buckling and twisting being greatly increase-d as the device is rotated to form the curl, to the extent that the end product roll or curl was of irregular contour and uneven thickness gradations.
Broadly, it is an object of this invention to provide a simple hair roller structure wherein the sides are arranged to form an open loop to facilitate assembly and maintenance of the combed hair strand to be treated between the cooperating sides, which may thereafter be respectively displaced without buckling or twisting to form a closed long narrow loop defining the winding mechanism.
Specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide a hair roller wherein by virtue of the open formation of the loop defined by the opposing sides thereof, the flat wide hair strand may be readily insertible in proper position and maintained without buckling or twisting of the roller for the required winding of the roll or curl and locking thereof.
These and other advantages, capabilities and features of the invention will appear from the subjoined detailed description of one specific embodiment thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a roller in accordance with one embodiment of my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a rear elevation of a roller in accordance with one embodiment of my invention.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the same applied in the first of its operative steps.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the same applied in the second of its operative steps.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the same ap plied in the third of its operative steps.
' Figure 7 is a perspective view of the same applied in the last of its operative steps.
Figure 8 is a front elevation of a modified em bodiment of the hair roller of my invention,
Figure 9 is a plan view of the last named embodiment of the hair roller of my invention.
Figure 10 is a front elevation in section taken along lines I0-I0 of Figure 4.
Referring to the reference characters in the drawing, the device forming the hair roller of my invention comprises a unitary strip of flexible material, preferably as illustrated, in the nature of a fiat metal strip I0 about which is woven a fabric cover II. v
In one of the embodiments of my invention, illustrated in Figures 1 to 5, the strip III is bent at spaced zones I2 and I3 intermediate its length to form a continuous section I4 defined as a side of the loop being formed and from which section I4 there extend in parallelism therewith and leaning towards one another, integral short sections I5 and I6 together defined as the other side of the loop; the sections I5 and It being formed so that the ends I! and I8 thereof overlap.
The continuous section I4 and the respective shorter sections I5 and I6 are thereafter joined intermediate their common jointure by clasps I9 and 20, which define bending zones about which the free ends A and B of the thus formed assembly may be inwardly bent for the purpose of clamping the formed roll, as will be later described.
The edges of ends I! and I8 of the short sections may be bent over and fastened by clasps, as illustrated, or otherwise covered to prevent raveling of the covering fabric I I.
The hair roller of my invention, in use, is i1- lustrated in Figures 4 to 7 wherein the following steps respectively are carried out:
1. The short sections I5 and I6 are manually drawn away from their normal parallel position with respect to the continuous section I I by bending adjacent clasps I9 and 20, so that the roller and particularly the intermediate portion of continuous section I4 may be disposed at one side of the flat wide hair strand C of the hair strand or the roller;
2. Thereafter the short sections I5 and I6 are returned to the normal position in parallelism with continuous section I4 to form the enclosing loop for the hair strand, the free ends I! and 3 of the short sections being in overlapping relationship (see Figure 5) and defining the separable closure for the loop;
3. The user then rotates the roller thus clamped to the hair about its length as an axis to wind the hair strand into roll or curl form (see Figure 6); and
4. When the rolling is completed, the free ends A and B beyond the hair strand enclosing loop are turned inwardly about the bending zone defined by the clasps l9 and 20 to firmly maintain.
the formed roll or curl and lock the roller thereto (see Figure '7) In the embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9 the structure of the roller as assembled is modified over that heretofore described, in that the ends I I and I8 of the short sections l5 and [6 are of such contour and so assembled as to provide abutting relationship th'erebetween, the operative steps involved in the use of the roller of this embodiment being otherwise identical with those heretofore outlined in respect to Figures 4 to 7. v
It is obvious that various changes andmodifications may be made to the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
I claim:
1.- A hair roller composed of a single strip of covered flexible wire bent adjacent opposite ends thereof to provide a side formed of a continuous length having adjacent and parallel thereto a side of two short lengths leading towards one another and together at least equaling the length of the first side.
2 A hair roller composed of a single strip of covered flexible wire bent adjacent opposite ends thereof to provide a side formed of a continuous length having adjacent and parallel thereto a side of two short lengths leading towards one another and together at least equaling the length of the first side, and clasps securing the continuous length to the respective short lengths at a distance from the end of the roller, thereby to define a bending zone about which the ends of the aforesaid sides may be inwardly bent for the purpose described.
3. A hair roller composed of a single strip of covered flexible wire bent adjacent opposite ends thereof to provide a side formed of a continuous length having adjacent and parallel thereto a side of two short lengths leading towards one another with the ends thereof in overlapping relationship.
4. A hair roller composed of a single strip of covered flexible wire bent adjacent opposite ends thereof to provide a side formed of a continuous length having adjacent and parallel thereto a side of two short lengths leading towards one another with the ends thereof in overlapping relationship", and clasps securing the continuous length to the respective short lengths at a distance from the end of the roller, thereby to defl-nea bending zone about which the ends of the aforesaid sides may be inwardly bent for the purpose described.
5. A hair roller composed of a single strip of covered flexible wire bent adjacent opposite ends thereof to provide a side formed of a. continuouslength having adjacent and parallel thereto a side of two short lengths leading towards one another with the ends thereof in abutting relation-ship.
6'. A hair roller composed of a single strip ofcovered flexible wire bent adjacent opposite ends thereof to provide a side formed of a continuous length having adjacent and parallel thereto a side of two short lengths leading towards one another with the ends thereof in abutting relationship, and clasps securing the continuous length to the respective short lengths at a distance from the end of the roller, thereby to define a bending zone about which the ends of the aforesaid sides may be inwardly bent for the purpose described.
