PUFF FOR HEAD-DRESSES.

- SPECIFICATION forming fl all whom it may concern:

Be it-known that I, ELLEN L.-DEMOREST, of New York city, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful-Improvements relating to Pufl's for Head-Dresses, of

which the following is a specification,

The object of the inveutioni to support the hair or any other fibrous material used to imijtate hair,'so as to allo'wthe putt tovbe used v but it is more especially adapted for uses in- The invention may be applied to what are in common use as flowing curls;-

which it may confine the hair or imitation hair strongly after being framed into a ring or short tube, either a single ring as a pnfi' or a double-or triple ringas a bow.

I will describe the inventionas applied to the manufacture of'hair of proper quality and a rollof hair v tole rably uniform length, it being understood that other analogousfibers may be or be mixed therewith.

I weave the h'airtogetherin a flat switch as thewhole of the remainder free, 1- weave across also along a line snfficientlydistant from the.

butt to allow one complete 'coil. of the hair between. Then enrolling the hair, as usual, beginning at the tips, the two lines along which the hair is wovenwill come together-,0! nearly together, and,.being held by hair-pins or other ordinary or suitable device, with theside which contains the two lines of weaving next to thesmoothin every respect. conditioned as" head,'ther'e is presented ontward' a usual,.except that by reason of the secondliue the hai-rqis it held in place much and {more disturbing usage than ordinary without; being rumpled and disordered. It. isim- 4511 that. there',-be' no hairs reach from the tirstlineof weaving'to the sec- ,ortant to the tul l' enjoyment of the invention so short as to-fail to ond.

7 The accompanyingdmwings form apart of this specification, and repre'sent what I considerthe best means of, carrying out the inveu-' 'spouding-parts in all the figures.

substituted vmarked A, reaching .the'weaving'G, is represented on the exterior I of the'roll when c npleted,-a'nd being reliably usual,except that instead of weavingesimply even at the extreme butt-ends and leaving' harsh usage.

'Iha've'shown the weaving usually enivployed to strongly join the ends of the hair. 5 Flax or any other fiber ofpropcr length and finen ess,'dyed, or otherwise vprepared to imitate hair, may be used for the parts A A.

The invention not only allows the roll to be longer used without becoming roughened, but to also facilitates the tasteful inexperienced,- and assists the expert by siniplifying the work. j Modifications may be made in the forms and proportions without departing from-the prin- 15 ciple or sacrificing the advantage of the inven-' .tion. I can use theiliair woven or stitched in a narower or wider frame, so as to produce a-shorter longerlroll,

A considerable range of diameter may be madewith 'ejsame weaviug'by simply'rolling the hair ti'gh'ter 'or looser. "In one case the hair A will nakemorejthan one complete circuit around roll and in the" other it'will makeless. In hthesecases the two lines 'of weaving will ,a little distance' apart, instead of exactly "one upon theo'ther, when theroll is to befasteyed upon the head; but if they are reasonably 3 m: t

.Any' number of my rolls may be joined together as well as ordinary rolls.

Anydesired filling .may be rolled up in my roll to stiffen andsupport it further.

I claim as my invention-- 1 "The method of securing human hair and analogous fiber for head wear by weaving along two separate lines, B U, separated by a sufiicient space to allow about one circuit of a roll, as herein specified. v

2. The new article of manufacture described, composed of hair or analogous fiber, having one portionof its length A, confined at each end by the respective lines of neavi nggB 0,. and another portion, A free, as herein; specified...
