1 Claim.
This invention relates to a hair curler.
The principal object of my invention is to make a one-piece hair curler that is'adaptable to form ve or six different curls with the lingers and which has a pair of blades spaced apart which are so exible that they can be pressed together with two fingers. Another object is to provide such a construction as can be made of wood.
A further object is to provide a simple device for forming a curl that dispenses with the use of hinged members or separate elements thus enabling an unskilled person to form a variety of curls in her hair.
The foregoing and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction such as is disclosed by the drawing and specification. The nature of the invention is such as to render it susceptible to various changes and modifications, and, therefore, I am not to be limited to said disclosure; but am entitled to all such changes therefrom as fall within the scope of my claim.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my procedure for forming a curl by pressing the two blades of my curler together at their free ends.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of my curler showing the slot or space between the two blades.
Figure 3 is another side elevational view of my curler especially showing the outer shape of one of said blades.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
As illustrated, my curler is preferablyformed of a single piece of wood in which are formed two blades I0 and I I` spaced apart toleave a slot I3 between them. Each said blade has a rounded outer surface and a flat inner surface as particularly illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawing, and thus its outer surface tapers in thickness as at Illa and IIa as it nears the said inner or iiat surface.
Said blades I Il and I I also taper both in thickness and width as at Il'lb and II bI at their free ends providing a relatively Wide mouth I2.
The material of which my curler is made must be flexible enough to permit said two blades l0 and II to be pressed together at their free end portions by two fingers. One end portion I4 is solid; but preferably rounded, This solid portion I4 constitutes not more than one-half the length of said slot I3. Such construction makes it possible to provide a large enough slot to make any desired size of curl without making the overall length of my device too unwieldy. An actual specimen of my curler measures 5% long, the solid portion I4 measuring 1%" long While said slotted portion measures 4 inches long. These dimensions can be varied, of course.
In Figure 1 of the drawing I have illustrated the manner of using my curler which consists in inserting the hair H into said slot I3 at a point spaced from the open end or mouth I2 of my device. Then said blades II) and II at their free end portions are pressed together by the ngers, only two ngers being necessary, the solid end being held by ngers of the other hand of the operator. My device is then rotated until the hair H is tight on said device so that it will not slip upon further rotation, whereupon pressure on said blades I0 and II is released and they spread apart. Ordinarily, curling devices have a separate hinged clamping member which is moved down and clamped on a blade and that holds the hair to the curling device until it has been wound once or twice.
The flexibility feature in said blades is doubly useful in that it permits the blades to be spread when 'the hair to be curled is extra thick. Blades made of metal are not capable of being distorted to the necessary degree nor can a person force them together by pressure of two ngers.
What I claim is:
A hair curler comprising a cylindrical member of non-metallic, flexible material such as wood having a solid end portion and having a slotted portion at the opposite end portion that is at least twice as long as said solid portion and flares outwardly at its open end, said slotted portion having two blades spaced apart that are adapted to be flexed together at their free end `portions by the pressure of two fingers.
