7 Claims.

This invention relates to hair roll foundations, and has for an object the provision of a foundation which is stylish, sanitary, light in weight, and washable.

Another object is the provision of a hair roll foundation which will securely hold the hair when the hair is rolled thereover, to the end that the hair maintains a neat well-dressed appearance.

Other objects of the invention include a hair roll foundation which is simple of construction, inexpensive in cost of manufacture, and generally superior to devices now known to the inventors.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 illustrates hair rolled over the foundation, the foundation being indicated in dotted lines,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the hair roll as an entirety, and,

Figures 3, 4 and illustrate steps in the formation of the hair r011 shown in Figure 2.

Referring now to the drawing, we may utilize for the foundation body, cords of Wool, cotton or synthetic material. If a body or roll of a iven diameter is to be formed, for instance as illustrated in Figure 2, the roll is formed by looping a cord I back and forth to form a hank until the desired diameter is obtained. Commencing at cord end 2, Figure 3, the cord is looped to provide sides 3 and 4 with bights at 5 and 5 The ends of the cord are tied at 2 Thereafter, the end 2 in Figure 4 is held, while the looped end 5 in said figure is turned in the direction of the arrow 6 to twist the cords tightly together under tension. The end 5 is then folded adjacent the end 2, as shown in Figure 5, to provide two parallel lengths 1 and 8. Holding the ends 2 and 5, and the bight 9, while maintaining the foundation in its tightly twisted form, as indicated by the operation in Figure 4, will produce the twist shown in Figure 2 when the bight 9 is released. This twisted form will remain in the foundation roll or body without further attention, the reason being that when the two lengths 3 and 4 are twisted together in the direction of the arrow 6, followed by bringing the lengths into the position shown in Figure 5, the cords untwist in a direction opposite to the direction of twist shown in Figure 4, resulting in a twist in the direction of the arrow ID in Figure 2 and without any tension remaining in the cords. Ribbons H and 12 are fastened to the foundation ends.

In the use of the device, the back and side hair is combed downwardly to fan the same from the crown of the head. The roll of Figure 2 is then adjusted, as desired, low or high on the neck, with the two ribbons II and I2 tied together across the top of the head, as indicated at I3 in Figure 1. The hair ends are then tucked smoothly around the foundation roll until the roll is completely covered, as shown at I4 in Figure 1. The top hair is thereafter curled or pompadoured over the ribbons to cover or hide the same.

The fabric material may be made in any color to match the color of the hair.

The character of the foundation is such that the cords hold the hair without fear of the hair becoming loose or straggly, resulting in a socalled frayed end apperance.

We claim:

1. The method of forming a hair foundation, which consists in first forming a looped body of multiple cords, twisting the looped body until it is under tension, thereafter folding the looped body into two parallel lengths while maintaining the twist therein, then releasing the looped body to cause the two parallel lengths to twist together until no tension remains in the body.

2. The method of forming a hair foundation, which consists in first forming a looped body of multiple cords, twisting the looped body until it is under tension, thereafter folding the looped body into two parallel lengths while maintaining the twist therein, then releasing the looped body to cause the two parallel lengths to twist together until no tension remains in the body, and thereafter tying the ends of the body.

3. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongated body formed of reversely twisted fabric cords.

4. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongated body formed of reversely twisted untensioned fabric cords.

5. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongated soft yarn body formed of a single hank of reversely twisted yarn.

6. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongated soft yarn body formed of a single hank of reversely twisted yarn, and said twist of the yarn being untensioned.

7. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongated soft yarn body formed of a single hank of reversely twisted yarn, said twist of the yarn being untensioned, and ties for the ends of the body.
