HAIR vROLL Filed June 50, 1945 aan ATi'o RN EY Patented Sept. 3, 1946 HAIR ROLL William Huppert, New York, N. Y., assigner to Delamere Company, Inc., a corporation of Dela- Wavre Application June 30, 1945, Serial No. .602,580

2 Claims.

This invention relates to an improved hair roll for use in dressing womens hair.

The principal objects of the invention are to provide an adjustable and easily manipulated device, of novel, simple and inexpensive construction, whereon hair may be rolled and supported in naturally appearing roll form.

Generally described, the device comprises a roll of fibrous material enclosed in a netted covering and mounted on an arm of a flexible wire loop, the ends of the fibrous roll and its covering,r being free from attachment to the wire, and the ends of the wire loop being benda-ble at any point to secure the device in place-in the hair.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a side View of the device; and

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional View thereof;

The device in the form illustrated comprises a wire loop formed oi a length of iiexible wire, either covered or bare, which is bent to provide a lower arni I@ and. an upper arm II. A substantially cylindrical body I2 of soft, elastic fibrous material, such a's batting or the like, is mounted on and surrounds the middle portion of the lower arm it of the wire loop. The fibrous body is covered or enclosed in an. openwork en Velope i3 of loosely woven or knitted netting or reticulated threads.

The device may be made my Wrapping a piece of batting of suitable size around the wire and covering the batting with a tube of netting the threads of the ends of which are tied together and knotted at Id. Another manner of manufacture is first to make and cover the roll of batting and then insert the Wire longitudinally through the covered roll. in either case, the wire is finally bent into elongated loop form and its ends fastened together by a sleeve I5 or otherwise. The ends I6 of the loep extend outwardly freni both ends of the roll of batting and are freely bendable at any place along their length. As the bending does not occur at any xed point they may be bent repeatedly without breaking or weakening the wire. The batting is preferably cemented to the wire only along the middle, as at I1, leaving the ends I8 of the roll of batting and its covering free from attachment to the Y wire.

In using the device, the ends oi the hair to be dressed are inserted and clamped between the fibrous body I3 and the upper wire arm II, and the,` free ends I8 of the iibrous body may be compressed somewhat to adjust the length of the roll. The device is rotated axiallyto form the hair into a roll, and the ends of the wire loop are bent under or over to secure the device in the hair and to hold the fibrous body in adjusted position.

Since the fibrous body on which the hair is rolled is soft and elastic it will give the hair roll a natural appearance as distinguished from the unnatural appearance of hair rolls supported on tubes of horsehair, wire or other relatively stiff material. Moreover, the roll of batting provides a cushion on which the hair is dressed so that if desired the rolled hair may be pinned thereon.

The present invention, as will be apparent from the foregoing description thereof, involves improvements over the type of hair roll shown and described in my Patent 2,146,674 of February 7, 1939.

What I claim is:

1. A hair roll comprising an elongated flexible wire loop, a substantially cylindrical body of fibrous material covered with netting mounted on and surrounding the middle portion of an arm of the loop, the ends of said covered brous body being free from attachment to the wire loop. and means for anchoring the body to the wire loop intermediate the free ends of the body.

2 A hair roll comprising a length of wire formed in elongated loop-shape with the ends of the Wire connected together, a roll of batting mounted on the middle portion of one arm of the wire loop, means for anchoring the Iroll intermediate its ends to said arm, and an envelope of netted material encasing the roll of batting, said wire loop having end portions that extend outwardly from the ends of the roll of batting and that are freely bendable at any point throughout their length.

WILLIAM HUPPERT.
