HAIR WAVE SOLUTION RECEPTACLE Filed Jan; 29, 1947 DEW/VA, A 15/2 u/wvm Patented Mar. 27, 1951 HAIR WAVE SOLUTION RE'CEPTACLE Devona A. Brunner, Chicago, 111., assignor of onehalf to Howard Brunner, Ghicago, Ill.

2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to improvements in ap paratus for use in the waving of hair, and is especially useful in the preparation of permanent waves by the so-called cold-wave method.
The cold-wave process of waving hair, which is currently in vogue, requires the curling of strands of hair into separate curls, there being perhaps from 40 to 60 or more curls, varying in accordance with the size of the head, and the quantity of hair, and any preferences which the customer may have. It has been customary heretofore to roll the curls on small holders and then successively daub a small quantity of the cold wave solution onto each curl. It is necessary that each curl, which is rather tightly wound, be thoroughly soaked, and it is more or less obvious that if the entire quantity of liquid required for soaking the curl be applied at once upon the exterior surface of the curl, much of it will flow off the curl and drip upon the scalp.
Not only is this inefiicient, messy and waste ful of material, but it is objectionable to the customers. Those who have sensitive scalps find the spilled liquid extremely irritating.
Hence, it has been customary to daub upon each curl only a portion of the total liquid required by each curl, allow that to soak in and then move on to the next curl. Thus, the operator has been required usually to apply liquid to each curl in three separate installments, which consumes considerable time in view of the large number of curls which are usually to be treated. To avoid spilling liquid on the scalp, great care is exercised and the entire procedure is thus slowed down.
This invention has for its principal object the accelerating of the process of soaking the curls with the cold wave solution. This is accomplished by providing a small conveniently handled receptacle, of the type shown in the drawing, and inserting the open channel end of it underneath the curl, so that all of the liquid required for soaking the curl may be applied at once to the curl and the excess allowed to drain back into the base of the receptacle. It is at once apparent, with this explanation, that not only is material saved and injury to the scalp avoided, but the whole procedure of soaking the curls is greatly accelerated.
Accordingly, one of the objects of the invention is to provide a receptacle for use in hair waving which may be conveniently positioned under a curl to catch excess fluid applied to the curl and drain it back to the receptacle.
Another object of this invention is to provide a device of the character described which makes it a simple matter to prevent permanent wave solution from falling upon the scalp of the customer.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described, which not only affords the foregoing advantages, but places conveniently at hand a supply of the solution, making it thus possible for the operator to quickly and conveniently transfer fluid from the receptacle to the curl without transporting the fluid on the brush or dauber over the person of the customer, on whom it might drip.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be specifically mentioned hereafter and will become apparent from the perusal of the specification and examination of the drawing,
On the drawings:
A preferred embodiment of the invention has been selected and shown for the purpose of illustrating the nature of the invention and the manner of its usage.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device made in accordance of this invention;
Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the device of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an end elevation of the device as viewed from the right side of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a top plan view of the device showing a curled strand of hair laid therein, and
Figure 5 is a sectional view similar to Figure 2, showing a curl lying in the upper end of the device.
As shown on the drawings: t
The device includes a receptacle 1 having a flat base 2 and a drain channel 3, both the top of the receptacle and the top of the drain channel being wide open and readily accessible,
The device is preferably made of plastic material or light metal, or other suitable light material. It is preferred that the channel member 3. particularly in the vicinity of its end be somewhat flexible so that when it is laid. against the scalp, its contact with the scalp will not be ob- .iected to by the customer, and it may be held therefore in yielding contact with the scalp.
The flat base 2 is preferably provided with a laterally/extending nose 4, which makes it easy to balance the device on its flat bottom, and oppose the tendency to tip over due to the, weight of the offset channel member 3.
When using the device, a quantity of the cold \vave solution is placed in the receptacle 1, the open end of the channel member 3 is slipped in under the curl such as A, between the curl and the scalp B. Thereafter the operator may clip a brush, or other daubing device into the liquid in the receptacle and apply it quickly to the curl, applying as much in one operation as is required to soak the curl. The excess will drain back through the channel 3 to the receptacle. If desired, the curl may be squeezed against the channel to remove the excess, and its contact with the channel will cause the fluid to run, not drip, back to the receptacle.
The receptacle, because of its small size, light weight and shape is conveniently held in one hand, While the other hand is employed in the daubing of the curls. It is quickly moved from curl to curl and the entire operation of soaking the curls is greatly shortened.
When the operator is not using the receptacle, it is readily stood on its base on an adjoining tray or table.
It should be understood that the present specification and drawing shown describe the preferred form, of the invention; however, the invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention defined in the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. A device for use during the application of hair wave solution to curls, comprising a solution storage receptacle having an open top and an imperforate flat bottom, a drain member eX- tending laterally and upwardly at about a 45 angle therefrom, said drain member being open on its upper side and terminating in a thin flexible-edge portion free of transverse reinforcement, said drain member and receptacle being an integral unit of a shape and size which may be conveniently wholly embraced transversely of its length by the hand of an operator for holding the upper edge of the drain member against the scalp successively underneath individual curls to which the solution stored in the receptacle is to be applied whereby each individual curl may lie in and upon said drain member during the application of solution thereto, the weight of the receptacle and the shape of its bottom relative to the weight and leverage of the lateral drain member being adequate to enable the device to support itself flatly on its receptacle bottom with said drain member inclined as aforesaid.
2. A device for use during the application of hair wave solution to curls, comprising an open top storage receptacle for containing solution and having an imperforate fiat bottom, and an open top channel member integral with said receptacle and extending laterally and upwardly at about a angle from the upper portion of said receptacle, the upper edge portion of said channel being thin and somewhat flexible and free of transverse reinforcement so that it may be pressed yieldingly against the scalp, the receptacle and drain member having such a shape and size as to be conveniently wholly embraced by the hand of an operator for placement against the scalp with the upper edge of said channel successively beneath individual curls while solution stored in the receptacle is being applied to such curls and the excess thereof allowed to drain into said container, the weight of the receptacle and the shape of its bottom relative to the weight and leverage of the lateral drain member being adequate to enable the device to support itself flatly on its bottom with said drain member upwardly inclined as aforesaid.
