United States Patent HAIR CURLING DEVICE Donald L. Whitrnore, Medford, Oreg.
Application June 6, 1957, Serial No. 663,967 s Claims. Cl. 132-40 This invention relates to a hair curling device and more particularly to a device by which a person is capable of obtaining home permanents.
An object of the invention is to provide a device for applying a so-called permanent wave to the hair with a minimum of effort and with accuracy. Permanent wave solution may be applied by my invention to the curled hair in predetermined quantities and without the solution contacting the hands of the operator.
In practicing the invention a lock of hair is wound around a spindle and the hair looks set in the locked position. An applicator is placed in position within the spindle and the wave solution transferred into the spindle stern, through the slots or other apertures in such stem and into the hair that is wound around the spindle. Air
is capable of passing in and around the hair and out Where the hair passes through the solution retainer.
The applicator container is returnable to an initial position and at the same time forms a partial vacuum which draws the residual solution from the spindle and also draws back air into the hair locks and through the hair wound around the spindle. The advantage of this is that it allows hair to be housed in the solution retainer and still permits air circulation around and through the hair already wound on the spindle. By squeezing the applicator approximately two or three times, it forms a more uni form saturation of wave solution and air by penetrating; all the hair in each lock.
Accordingly, it is a further object of the invention to provide a practical device of the nature to be described which functions to apply wave solution uniformly throughout the hair that is wound around a spindle and held in a confined volume. All of this is achieved while the hair is at a complete rest and protected position so that the hair does not move out of position until the device is separated from the hair lock.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accom-- panying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like nu-- merals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of the invention showing the same in use;
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a syringe or applica tor which constitutes a part of the invention.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the applicator of Figure 1 showing the same in the initial stages of the operator;
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a modification of the invention;
Figure 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 7-7 of Figure 6; and
Figure 8 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a modification of the device of Figure 6 but in a different position.
In the accompanying drawing there is a hair curler 10 constructed in accordance with the invention. This hair curler is made of a hollow spindle 12 having a plurality of slots 14 extending longitudinally through the side Wall thereof. Two flanges 16 and 18, each in the form of a cup and eachconstructed of a pliable resilient material, as rubber or selected plastics, are attached to spindle 12. Flange 16 is attached at the end of spindle 12 and the center part 20 of the flange 16 constitutes a closure (Figure 2) for the spindle 12. Spindle 12 passes through the center of flange 18, leaving a neck 22 on the outer side of flange 18. The neck has a bead 24 at its extremity and with which to engage in pocket 26 formed by annular wall 28 of syringe 30.
The flanges 16 and 18 in their rest position (Figure 5) are convex when viewed from the center of the spindle. They are adapted to be snapped over center and to the concave appearing position when viewed from the same,
point of the spindle. In this concave position they form sidewalls of a casing 36 which encloses cavity 38. The confronting edges of the sidewalls formed by flanges 16 and 18 have substantially triangular ribs 40 and 42 which not only reinforce the edges of the flanges but which also form locks against which the lock of hair 44 is pressed.
A pair of pliable panels 50 and 52 are connected along one side edge 54 of each. These panels are made of P135? tic mesh or a like material capable of easily passing liquid. The upper edge 56 of panel 50 is attached to spindle 12 along a longitudinal part of the spindle between two of the slots 14. The panels are to be opened as shown in Figure 5 and the ends of the lock of hair 44 placed in them. Then, the panel 52 is superimposed on the hair 44 prior to winding the hair and the panels on the spindle 12. Thereafter, the flanges 16 and 18 are snapped to the locked position (Figure 1). Syringe 30 holding the correct amount of solution has its reduced tube 60 at the discharge end inserted in neck 22 and bead 24 is engaged in annular pocket 26. Then the solution is expelled from the syringe 50 and passes into the spindle 12. Thereafter the solution passes through slots 14 and through the lock of hair that is wound in layers on the panels 52 and 50. The syringe 30 may be squeezed a number of times, two or three times being all that is necessary. This causes the entire applicator to breathe with the squeezing of the applicator. The result is that solution and air circulates completely and thoroughly through the lock of hair. Moreover, when the flanges 16 and 18 are returned to the open position, a small vacuum is formed within the cavity 38 and pulls residual solution from the spindle 12, through the lock of hair and thereafter, practically simultaneously, a small charge of air follows.
Attention is now invited to Figures 6-8. A modification is illustrated, this modification functioning in a manner identical to that of Figure 1. However, the locks 70 and 72 at the confronting edges of the flanges 16' and 18 are formed as teeth. Ribs exist as at 40 and 42, but the ribs are cut or otherwise formed into a pair of rows of interdigitating teeth by which to more firmly grasp the lock 44' of hair. Otherwise, the operation and structure is the same.
The final modification is shown in Figure 8 where flange is attached by an interlocking means 91 to spindle 92. The spindle 92 is essentially the same as spindle 12 and the same holds true for the flange 90. However, the end of the spindle 92 is formed with an annular groove 93 in which head 94 which projects inwardly of the open inner end of flange 94 seats. A funnel end 95 is formed on spindle 92 and there is a small passage 96 extending thereair through and into the bore )7 of hollow spindle 92. An ordinary eye dropper may be used with the funnel end 95 of the spindle 97 so as to make it unnecessary to provide'a special syringe 30"."
It is understood that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention. Of course, the invention may be used by professionals or in the home by'arnateurs. In either case, it is the intention that the hair be capable of being curled effectively and with a bare minimum of contact of the wave solution with the scalp, hands, clothing and uncurled hair.
