Description

HAIR CURLER Filed Sept. 5, 1952 iff Patented July 14, 1953 UNITED STATES 'PATENT FFICE y HAIR CURL-ER arold R. Bein, Sr., Westeld, Mass. Application September 5, 1952, Serial No. 308,058
This invention relates to apparatus for winding hair in preparation for permanent waving and the like.
The principal objects of the invention are directed to a device for winding and. curling ythe hair which is so constructed and arranged that it is readily and easily employed so that one may more quickly and more readily wind sections of hair.
Bothersome end papers and the like are eliminated so that the preparation of the hair is facilitated by a winding operation not requiring any particular expert knowledge of hair dressing.
According to novel features ofthe invention, ends of the hair may be wound smoothly on the deviceand in an orderly manner without 'any bun-ching or distortion.`
To facilitate the rather smooth or even winding of the hair, the device is provided with portions which act to snub the hair in the winding operation. This avoids slipping thereby to obtain the desired uniform windings.
The device by reason of its novel construction so engages the hair that relatively short ends may be wound as readily as may considerably longer ends. Retaining means in cooperation with a winding arbor hold the windings of hair for curling thereof as well as a desired treatment thereof.
All of the above objects I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangements of parts thereof, as will fully appear by a, perusal of the description below and by various specific features which will be hereinafter set forth.
To the above cited and other ends 'and with the foregoing and various other novel features and advantages and other objects of my invention as will become more readily apparent as the description proceeds, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and inthe combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more particularly pointed out in the claim hereunto annexed and more fully described and referred to in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Fig. l is a side elevational view of the device of my invention;
Fig. 2 is an end elevational view of the winding arbor shown in Fig. 1;
Figs. 3 and 3 are sectional elevational views on the lines 2 2 and 3-3 of Fig. l with the retainer omitted; and
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the retainer of the invention.
1 claim. (o1. 13a-42) j 'Referring now to the drawings more in detail, the invention will-,be fully described.
' An elongated winding arbor 2 is provided which may `be formed from plastic, lightweight `metal or the like, as may be desired. v
The longitudinal sides ofthe `arbor are concaved from end .to end or said sides relatively diverge outwardly from the intermediate portion of the arbor yto the opposite ends thereof.
The said arbor is provided with circumferen# tially spaced longitudinally extending rows of relativelyV spaced projections or teeth 4 which providenot-ches or grooves 6 therebetween. There .may ,be as many :longitudinal rows ,of groove forming teeth 4 as-may be desired, the form of the invention shown being for descriptive purposes and thedimensions of the teethand grooves may be a's desired. n
-`Opposite ends of the arbor are provided with bores ID extending axially for receiving lan instrument for manipulating or rotating the arbor.
Circumferentially spaced seats I2 are rat each end of the arbor and are provided. for receiving opposite ends of a retainer to be described.
Inner ends of the teeth 4 longitudinally of Vthe arbor are concaved similarly to the concaved sides of the arbor, as shown.
In operation, an implement is inserted in one of the bores III of the arbor for rotation thereof.
A strand of numerous hairs is held on the arbor so that on rotation thereof, the hairs are wound on the arbor principally in the grooves thereof. The hairs being wound may be very short and the strands selected for winding may include as many hairs as desired.
Adjacent opposite sides of the teeth of the rows thereof there are longitudinal snubbing portions I4 as shown in Fig. 3. These snubbing portions are substantially flat transversely of the arbor so that there arefcorner like portions where the flat portions join the round portions of the arbor.'
As hair is wound on the arbor the snu'bbing portionsA draw on the hair for tight winding. There is less slip of the hair by reason ofthe snubbing portions than would be the case were the arbor perfectly cylindrical. That is, the snubbing portions exert a pull on the hair for tight winding similarly to the pull of a nonround object in winding acord as distinguished from the pull exerted by a round object.
A retainer I6, formed fromk resilient stretchable material which is relatively thin sol as to not be cumbersome, is provided. The material from which the retainer may be formed wil1be rela` l tively thin rubber or some similar material whichv possesses the desired resiliency and stretchabllity.
The retainer I6 is provided with openings I 8 at opposite ends separated by a transverse bridge portion 20 as shown.
With hair Wound on the arbor, an end portion 22 of the retainer is engaged in seats I2 at one end of the arbor land the said retainer is stretched so that an opposite end 22 is disposed in seats at an opposite end of the arbor.
In this way, the bridge 2U of the retainer overlies the intermediate teeth of the arbor and the sides thereof 24 overlie opposite side portions of said arbor. With strands of hair Wound on the arbor, the wound hair is held snugly on the arbor for such treatment as may be desired. The retainer or fastener, because of its structure, .assumes the shape of the Winder and acts as a brake. t does not allow the wind to slip away from the scalp.
It will be noted that the circumferentially spaced rows of teeth and grooves as distinguished from annular grooves and ridges provide snubing portions along the arbor so that the hair may be snugly wound by the arbor for the most efficient action on the hair.
The invention may be embodied in vother specinc forms without departing from the essential characteristicsthereof. Hence, the present embodiments are Vtherefore to be considered in all respects merely as being illustrative and not as being restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the lappended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all modications and variations as fall within the meaning and purview and range of equivalency of the appended claim are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
What it is desired to claim and secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
A device for windings of the hair of the head 1 or curling and waving and other purposes comprising, a winding arbor and a retainer separate therefrom, said arbor `including an elongated rigid generally cylindrical body having opposite end faces and sides which are concaved intermediate opposite ends of the body whereby said body decreases in diameter inwardly from said opposite end faces to a point intermediate said faces, rows of longitudinally spaced radially extending teeth on opposite longitudinal sides of the body, said rows 0f teeth at opposite ends thereof terminating inwardly of opposite end faces of the body, the sides of the body adjacent opposite sides of the rows of teeth provided with longitudinal hair snubbing portions extending along said. rows of teeth, said arbor provided with seats extending inwardly of the end faces thereo f and transversely of the longitudinal axis of said Ibody and with implement receiving bores extending inwardly of said end faces, said retainer 'being in the shape of an elongated member having openings in opposite end portions thereof providing an intermediate transverse -bridge portion and transverse opposite ends and being formed from relatively thin resilient and stretchable material whereby said retainer may be stretched longitudinally for insertion of the opposite ends thereof inthe seats in the end faces of the arbor land insertion of end portions of the arbor in said openings with said bridge portion overlying teeth intermediate opposite ends of a row thereof and longitudinal side portions of said retainer overlying snubbing portions at the sides of said row vof teeth.
