BAIRDRESSER S CURLING' TOOL Fild Nov. 29, 1966 INVENTOR MICHAEL J. CICCONE ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,460,545 HAIRDRESSERS CURLING TOOL Michael J. Ciccone, Stoneham, Mass.
( Melbourne Ave., Reading, Mass. 01867) Filed Nov. 29, 1966, Ser. No. 597,696 Int. Cl. A45d 2/16, 2/24, 2/30 US. Cl. 132-33 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to tools for hairdressers on which curls may be formed quickly and easily and held in position while pins are applied thereto, the tool being removed as by one hand and the curl held in the other hand for the application of pins, clips, or any convenient means to hold it while drying. The curl is positioned where desired and does not have any roller in it, so that the circulation of air therethrough and therearound is much greater than with curls of the prior art using rollers, so that the hair is dried much quicker than in the prior art through the use of this invention.
The tool comprises a mandrel or the like about which the hairdresser winds and tensions a tress of hair to make a curl, the mandrel then being turned up close to the scalp; and there being a slider provided on the mandrel by which the mandrel is slid out of the curl with the curl remaining on the head in the position where it was made.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a View in side elevation illustrating the device;
FIG. 2 is a view on an enlarged scale looking in the direction of arrow 2 in FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 is a cross section on line 33 of FIG. 2.
In carrying out the specific embodiment of the invention shown in the enclosed drawings, there is provided a lightweight mandrel 10 which is conveniently made of plastic or other material. On the mandrel there is a slider 12. In general the slider will be positioned approximately as shown in FIG. 1. The operator grasps the slider and the remainder of the mandrel to the right thereof in FIG. 1 in one hand, as for instance the right hand, and wraps the end of a tress of hair about the mandrel on the surface thereof which is to the left of slider 12. Once the hair is caught on the mandrel, the operator turns the mandrel down to the scalp using some tension so that as the mandrel is turned the hair is tensioned, and a good tight curl close to the scalp results.
With the curl on the mandrel, the left hand of the operator will encompass it, while the right hand is still in the original position. The forefinger or thumb for instance of the left hand of the operator may then grasp the slider to hold it steady and in position and the right hand of the operator then grasps the mandrel and pulls it to the right in the direction of the arrow, FIG. 1, so that the slider then pushes the curl completely off of the mandrel. The slider does not move, nor does the curl.
The curl now being off of the mandrel but still held by the left hand of the operator, the tool is put down and the operator can then insert pins in the curl to hold it in position. It will be seen that this provides a perfect tensioned curl which is not dependent on a roller and which has nothing on it except pins or clips, etc. for holding it, so that air may circulate therein easily and freely and the curls on the head will dry rapidly, in fact much faster than with rollers. Such curls are more comfortable to sleep with and make a better appearance on the street because the usual rollers are dispensed with.
In cases where a net is applied during the drying, cotton may be placed between the curls so that the net will not mat the curls, and hence they will dry in cylindrical condition exactly as formed by the mandrel described above.
The mandrel is provided with a series of elongated, longitudinal surface grooves, these being indicated at 14 and 16, and at the right hand end of the mandrel there is provided a stop 18. The grooves 14 are open-ended at the left end of the mandrel but the grooves 16 are closed at this end by stop or limit means 18. The slider 12 is provided with radially inwardly directed projections 20, these being aligned with the stops at 18 and riding in the respective grooves 16, so that the extreme position of the mandrel to the right relative to the slider 12 is as shown in FIG. 3. In this figure the forward end edge 22 of the slider 12 extends slightly beyond the forward end 24 of the mandrel. The motion of the mandrel in the other direction is stopped by stop 18. The construction prevents relative rotation of the slider and mandrel.
The slider 12 also has on it a series of pusher fingers which are generally indicated at 26. These extend radially inwardly also and slide in grooves 14. It. will be seen in FIG. 3 that pusher fingers 26 extend out beyond the end of the mandrel, and their purpose is to make sure that the curl of hair is completely removed from the mandrel. The slider also may be provided with an annular ring 28' which the forefinger and thumb of the left hand of the operator may grasp in the withdrawal action of the mandrel to the right as above described.
It will be seen that the ring 28 also extends beyond the end 24 of the mandrel and it is also of importance that the forward end portion of the slider is rounded off as at 30 as is also the forward end at 32 of the mandrel. By this means the tresses of hair are not caught between the slider and mandrel but the curl always slides cleanly and easily off from the surface of the mandrel.
It is important to understand that the left hand of the operator which grasps the curl on the mandrel does not move so that the mandrel is removed from the curl with the curl in fixed position on the head so as not to pull the hair in any way or tend to move the curl in any way relative to the scalp, and thus it is seen that the operation is smooth and easy and of no distress, and at the same time all rollers are avoided and the drying time greatly re duced.
Having thus described my invention and the advantages thereof, I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed, otherwise than as set forth in the claims, but what I claim is:
1. A hairdressers tool for making curls comprising a mandrel, a tubular slider mounted on said mandrel for longitudinal movement thereon, said mandrel being formed with a plurality of longitudinally extending, circumferentially spaced grooves, a plurality of pusher fingers on the inner surface of said slider and extending radially into said grooves, said fingers having a cross section complementary to the cross section of said grooves to substantially fill said grooves, stop means in one of said grooves at one end thereof, and radially extending abutment means on said slider for engaging said stop means for limiting the movement of the slider relative to said mandrel.
2. A hairdressers tool as in claim 1 wherein said slider includes a flange portion at the outer end thereof and extending radially outward thereof, said stop means and said abutment means being located to allow said slider to be moved to a position on said mandrel wherein the flange on said slider projects beyond the one end of said mandrel.
