HAIR WAVER Filed March 11, 1954 I N VEN TOR 45a PO/WEA ATTORNEY United States Patent Ofifice HAIR WAVER Leo Roitner, Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada Application March 1 1, 1954, Serial No. 415,629

Claims. (Cl. 132-129 This invention relates to the art of hair waving and more particularly to a device which is especially designed for the home user in that it may be readily applied by the person desiring the hair wave.

Prior art hair waving apparatuses used heretofore are entirely unsuitable for the purposes of this invention in erate or were of the pinch wave variety which merely gripped the hair tightly between two clamps producing kinks in the hair. The invention described herein provides a hair waver which is easy to operate and which produces a smooth pleasing wave.

The presently described hair waver lncludes a pair of which is disposed a finger grips which when pressed between the thumb and forefinger cause the clamping members to pivot outwardly and the comb to move endwise.

comb and will intermeshing teeth of the of strands of hair is thereby individually waved by pleasing wave sharp corners.

An object of the Another object of the present invention is to provide a hair waving device which is constructed of relatively few members 21 and22 which have teeth Patented July 5, 1&55

front and end views of the finger Figs. 11 and 12 are p;

Figs. 13 and 14 are front and end views of the sleeve employed with the present invention; ig. 15 is a cross-sectional view along the line 22 of Fig. l; and

Fig. 16 is a of Fig. 2.

There is cross-sectional view along the line 33 provided'a pair of clamping or hair gripping bent at the twisting the metallic tab Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate the element utilized with and fitted between finger grip 39 of comb 35 and flange 27 of clamping member 21. Spring 49 encircles bar 38 and engages neck portion 37 of comb 35 and flange 26 of clamping member 21.

e operation of the hair waving device herein disclosed is as follows. In the closed position shown in Fig. 1 the teeth of comb and clamping members to move relative to one another endwise to positions laterally displaced from their normal positions with the comb disposed between the clamping members and also causes the clamping members to swing outwardly due to the movement of the curved ends 41 and 42 of bar 38 through

slots

28 and 34 in the flanges of clamping members 21 and 22, respectively. It can be seen that the twisted ends of the bar 38 serve as cams and

slots

28 and 34 of the clamping members act as cam followers. The open position is shown in this position the device is passed through the hair to the desired position for a wave. Strands of hair will be positioned between the teeth of the clamping members and the teeth of the comb and upon release of the finger gripping elements spring 49 returns the device to the closed position. it can be seen that the movement of the comb from the position of Fig. 2 will cause corresponding movement of the hair held between the teeth of the comb and thus the hair held between the clamping members will be formed in a wave. The intermeshing of the teeth of the clamping members efiectively prevents slipping of the device and the production of a smooth lasting wave is assured.

Having thus described the invention it is apparent that numerous changes in design and construction of the same may be employed without departing from the essentials thereof. What is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:

1. A hair waving device comprising, in combination, a pair of hair gripping members, a comb member, cam means mounted on one of said members, and cooperating follower means mounted on the other member whereby upon operation of the device the hair gripping members pivot outwardly and the comb and hair gripping members move laterally with respect to one another.

2. In a hair waving device of the character described, a pair of toothed, clamping members having the ends of the teeth thereof bent, means interconnecting said toothed members whereby the teeth of said clamping members normally intermesh, a comb normally disposed between said clamping members and having the teeth thereof substantially in alignment with the teeth of one of said clamping members, and means including said last-named means for pivoting said clamping members to an open position and for moving said comb and clamping members relative to one another endwise to positions laterally displaced from the normal positions thereof.

3. In a device of the class described, a comb having a bar connected thereto and extending longitudinally therewith, said bar having twisted ends, a pair of toothed clamping members, one of said members disposed on each side of sad comb, and means mounted on said clamping members and engaging said bar whereby upon longitudinal movement of said comb the last-mentioned means and the twisted ends of said bar combine to cause the clamping members to be swung outwardly to an open position.

4. A hair waving device of the character described, a comb having mounted thereon an elongated rectangular shaped element, said element having both ends thereof twisted, a pair of clamping members having inwardly bent flanges, said flanges being provided with slots for the reception of said elongated element, one clamping member being disposed on each side of said comb, means mounted on said comb for moving said comb endwise to a position laterally displaced from the normal position thereof, the movement of the twisted ends of said elongated element through the slots in the flanges of said clamping members causing the clamping members to be pivoted to an open position. I

5. A hair waving device as recited in claim 4 wherein said clamping members have teeth inwardly bent to a position wherein the lower ends of the teeth on one member are normally disposed between the lower ends of the teeth on the other member, the teeth of said comb normally being substantially in alignment with the teeth of one of said members.
