J. GREGORY HAIR CURLER Filed April 15, 1946 INVENTOR.

This invention relates to hair curlers of the spool type. More particularly, it relates to a device on which a lock of hair can be tightl wound and then secured in place for a considerable period of time in order to permit the hair to take a set in the form of a curl.
An object of this invention is to provide a hair curler, which is small and unobtrusive, and of simple and inexpensive construction, and which is easy to apply.
Another object is to provide a hair curler which is made only in two parts, and which can be molded from a suitable plastic material.
Still another object is to provide an improved hair curler which grips the hair, after the hair has been wound thereon so that the curler will remain in place.
A further object is to provide a curler which will be maintained in place by the hair which is wound thereon, and which is constructed so that the hair curler may be positioned close to the scalp, so as to avoid an undue amount of tenison on the hair which results from a curler dangling at the end of a lock of hair, as well as to avoid the annoyance of such a dangling curler.
A still further object is to provide a hair curler which is so constructed that the hair closest to the scalp can form the inner layers of the coil of hair, thus providing a tighter curl, and one which is close to the scalp, and also providing a snubbing action which prevents the curler from loosening.
Other objects, features and advantages will become apparent as the description proceeds.
With reference now to the drawings, in which like reference numerals designate like parts Fig. 1 is a front view of a hair curler embodying the preferred embodiment of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the hair curler of Fig. 1, shown partly in section;
Fig. 3 is a rear view;
Fig. 4 is a view showing the curler after the hair has been curled around the stem, but before the curler is locked in place;
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4, but showing the curler after it has been locked in place;
Fig. 6 shows an elevation of a modified form of curler; and
Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6, but showing the parts in released position.
The curler comprises two parts, one of which is a base It) which is generally disk shaped, and which is provided with a stem I I, which projects therefrom in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the base. The second part is a disk I2 2 which is provided with an opening I l which fits over the stem II in a fairly tight frictional fit. Thus the disk I2 may be shifted longitudinally of the stem, and will tend to maintain its position. The disk I2 may preferably be provided with a boss I3 through which the opening I4 extends so as to provide an increased surface area for engagement with the surface of the stem II. The disk I2 is preferably formed with a concave surface I5, as shown in Fig, 2, the parts being assembled so that the concave surface faces the base I0.
Thus, the curler forms a spool upon which a lock of hair 2| can be wrapped, as shown in Fig. 4. Then the disk I2 is pushed down toward the base Ill, thereby gripping the curled lock between the V disk and the base. The concave surface I5 forms more or less of a chamber and assists in the confining action. Once the lock is confined, as shown in Fig. 5, it will resist any tendency to unwind, and hence the curler is locked in place.
In order that the curler may be positioned close to the scalp, it is provided with a sector shaped openin IS in the base I0. Thus there is less tendency for the curler to dangle at the end of a lock of hair. Also it permits the scalp end of the lock to form the inner layers of the curl, which provides a snubbin action, inasmuch as the strands which are subjected to the greatest tension are surrounded by strands which are subjected to less tension.
The disk I2 is preferably provided with a plurality of radially disposed slots IT in the periphery thereof, the slots terminating in enlarged portions I 8. Thus, as the end of a lock is grasped, while the lock is being wound around the stem, after a greater portion of the lock has been wound up, the end portion may be brought through one of the slots IT. This enables the operator more readily to maintain her grasp on the end of the lock, and hence the tension on the look as the disk I2 is being pushed down into place.
In removing the curler the disk I2 can be removed entirely from the stem I I, and then the base and stem slipped out of the curled lock.
As a modified form of my invention, the stem may be slabbed as indicated by the reference numeral I9 in Fig. 6, and the inner surface of the opening It may be provided with recessed portions 20 which correspond in number and extent with the slabbed portions I9. Thus, when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 6, a tight frictional fit is provided between the disk and the stem, but when the disk is rotated with the stem through forty-five degrees, as shown in Fig. '7,
WWW...
the frictional engagement is broken and the disk may be readily slipped oi? the stem. This construction facilitates the removal of the curler from the lock of hair.
It will be observed that the portions or sectors of disk l2 which are separated by the slot I! have curved edges 22, the radius of curvature being considerably less than the general radius of the disk. Thus, a scalloped effect is provided. V This scalloped edge tends to prevent the lock of hair from catching in the slots I! as the lock is being wound on the hair curler. 7
Although the curler herein shown may be made from any suitable material, I prefer to mold the A hair curler comprising a stem provided with a flange at one end upon which stem a lock of hair may be wound, and a disk disposed on said stem and frictionally engaging the same for sliding movement thereon, said disk being provided with a plurality of slots through which the free end of said lock may be brought to prevent said lock from unwinding while the disk is being pushed. along said stem to confine the same, the peripheral portion of said disk being scalloped.
