T. J. HEATON HAIR CURLER Oct. 24, 1950 Filed June 21, 1948 INVENTOR. T135515 (I HEATON WWW ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 24, 1950 UNITED ST A TES PATENT OFFICE Tessie J. Heaton, Newton, Mass. Application June 21, 1948, Serial No. 34,308
This invention relates to hair curlers and more particularly to those which wind tresses of hair into uniform pin curls beginning from the end of the hair nearer to the scalp.
The most common type of present curlers do not wind curls in uniform ringlets. Usually the curl is wound from the free end towards the scalp and therefore cannot pick up the shorter strands of hair. The curlers that work from the scalp outward do not form curls of parallel strands due to the lack of proper means for feeding the hair on to the curling mechanism.
A primary object of my invention is to produce a pin curler that winds the tress from the scalp outward, smoothing, adjusting and confining it into evenly and uniformly wound curls.
In accordance with my invention there is pro duced a pin curler that is simple of construction and operation; It produces a better curl due to its guiding, feeding and hair straightening features. Uniform curls are produced. All ringlets are tight. All strands of hair, short and long, are included in the curl. All strandsare substantially parallel producing a more pleasing result. The device is rugged, fool proof, and inexpensive to manufacture.
Further objects of the invention will hereinafter appear from the following description of a preferred embodiment illustrative of the invention and shown in the accompanying drawings in which I Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my device before operation. A
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation. v
This hair curler consists of p a spindle around which revolves a tubular sleeve or member. To this revolving member is attached an elongated spiral through which the strands of hair are evenly drawn and wound on the spindle forming a superior curl.
Referring to the drawings, the device therein shown comprises a stationary cylindrical spindle I on one end of which there is a narrow slot 2, the bottom of the slot ending at point 3. Rotatably engaging with spindle I is a tubular member which has a raised portion 5 at one end to assist in the rotation. Attached to the tubular membi 4 is an extension arm I which extends over the spindle I and parallel to it, separated from it by the space I4. When substantially over the bottom 3 of the slot 2, the extension arm forms the proximal circle-like convolution 8 of a spiral, with the plane passing through a substantial portion of the convolution 8 being perpendicular 5 Claims. (Cl. 13233) to an extended radius of spindle I. Convolution 8 then extends substantially at right angles into an elongated arm 6 and thence into the distal convolution 9 of the spiral, with the plane passing through a substantial portion of the convolution 9 not being perpendicular to an extended radius of the spindle i. The center ID of the opening of the convolution 8 and the center I I of the opening of the convolution 9 and the end 3 of the slot 2 lie substantially on an extended radius of the spindle I. The spindle I is provided with a snug fitting non-rotatable sleeve I2 to form a handle.
In operating the device, a tress of hair adjacent to the scalp and suificient for one pin curl is introduced into slot 2. It is then wound around arm 6 into the opening ID of convolution 8. then into opening II of convolution 9. This tress is thus held by the arm 6 in a straight line perpendicular to the spindle I with all hairs, short and long substantially parallel.
Holding the device inside the hand by the third and fourth fingers, the slotted end I3 of the spindle I is held against the scalp, the spindle being perpendicular to the scalp. Turning the tubular member by means of the thumb and the first and second fingers, the straightened tress is fed evenly through the openings ill and I I around the spindle I into the space I4 provided to receive the curl.
The oblique angle of the plane of the opening I I has suflicient binding effect on the tress to feed it under tension onto the spindle. When the entire tress has been fed through the convolutions of the spiral arm from the scalp to the free end of the hair, the curl is slipped off the spindle and secured 'by means of any of the usual fastening devices.
It is apparent that the details of the device described may be varied without departing from the nature or principle of my invention and it is my intention not to limit the invention to the particular details set forth but to describe one method of obtaining the desired end so that said end, being once realized, may be accomplished by changes in the construction and arrangements of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
